Westward Ho Golf Course
The Royal North Devon golf course is known as Wesward Ho! This is a great links experience and has the distinction of being the first English links course and the oldest in England where play still continues over the original layout.

It can further boast of having the oldest Ladies Golf Club in the world established in 1868.

A traditional out and back layout with some wonderful panoramic views it is one of Britain’s most windswept courses with added protection sought from pot bunkers and lush sea grasses which can cause havoc to a good score.

Description
The choice of courses in England is almost endless for the discerning golf visitor. There are mighty seaside links such as those of Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake,where the Amateur Championship was born and where Bobby Jones won the Open Championship in his historic Grand Slam year of 1930. There is plenty of historic interest in English golf, with the oldest existing course in England and Westward Ho in Devon. The club was formed there in 1864 and today sheep continue to grace the ancient links on this common land.
