Had our yearly golf trip last week, 6 rounds in 4 days in North Devon - played Royal North Devon and then 2 days of 36 per day at Saunton, then finished with 18 at Ilfracombe.
For anyone who loves links golf then I can’t recommend Saunton Golf Club highly enough, 2 absolutely superb courses, a true test of golf.
What’s Illfracombe like? Staying there a week in August.

Course is ok, very very scenic. Market themselves as you can see the sea from all 18 tees, was lovely on a nice hot day when we were there. A few very bizarre holes and a few that criss cross, which isn’t my favourite on a course, but on the whole an enjoyable round of golf.What’s Illfracombe like? Staying there a week in August.
If you can though I’d recommend driving to play Saunton, it’s about 25/30 mins from Ilfracombe.

I played Bury on Friday, it’s a good test, got to think about every shot. First time I’ve managed to beat the course, I usually end up with about 26/27 points, but this time managed 37 with 3 birdies so was happy to finally get one over on it.

Get a cheshire card , davenport , hazel groveI’m growing a bit weary of my local course Macclesfield which is all hills and sloping lies so by way of a change looking to play somewhere else one day this week, probably Wednesday. Anywhere relatively flat will do. Styal looks possible but am open to suggestions South Manchester or East Cheshire way , preferably no more than 40 quid green fee. Any recommendations?
