Golf Breaks In North Devon
If golf is your passion then Ilfracombe and The Carlton serves as a superb base to explore some of England’s most scenic golf courses by day and relax with fine food and drink by night. A weekend, or indeed a mid week, spent on the green is time well spent.
Playing in North Devon is an experience you won’t want to pass up and our golfing breaks blog details just what is on offer from the various golf courses in the region. The Carlton has put together a golfing ‘Play and Stay’package, available throughout the year with pricing from just £89 per person in 2021.
Play and stay package
Our two day packages include a freshly cooked three course dinner in our Brasserie, two days of golf on a course of choice, great accommodation and of course a substantial, full English breakfast. You can download our Golf Breaks brochure here.
In the current Covid-19 pandemic we are following government guidance. That means we have made sensible changes to ensure you stay safe in North Devon. We have for example, reduced occupancy, removed paper materials and some decorative throws in your rooms. Tea and coffee making facilities are available on request, to ensure absolute cleanliness. And we’ve introduced single use toiletries for the time being.
It’s said that the Devon air, whether rolling across the hills and fields or breezing in from the sea, makes everyone relax. Together with our crisp cotton bedding, throws and cushions along with sumptuous beds, you are ensured a blissful night’s sleep. Guests love our new-look bedrooms that include all modern comforts like flat screen TVs (many with web access), ensuite bathrooms and welcome trays.
Flexibility for 2021
Your booking is truly flexible (without any penalty charges) when booked direct with The Carlton. Alterations, cancellations and changes to your booking may be made as close as 48 hours to your arrival time. Please note a group booking (of more than four rooms or eight guests) may be subject to different terms and conditions*.
Local Golf Clubs
Royal North Devon Golf Club
Commonly regarded as the St. Andrew’s of England, the Royal North Devon Golf Club has been around since 1864, making it the oldest golf club in the country. RND is among the more challenging courses in North Devon, but both pros and novices alike can enjoy golfing on the lush terrain. Much has remained unchanged over the years. RND still claims much of its original architecture.
Stay In Ilfracombe – Play At Saunton
Visiting players can stay at The Carlton and we can organise your fees as part of your Stay and Play package.
Portmore Golf Park
Portmore Golf Park is a quiet course found on the outskirts of Barnstaple. The Golf Park sports 27 holes in total, a 9-hole course and an 18-hole course. Golfing at this North Devon Golf Park means you are welcome to play individually, in groups, or with your family. Portmore is very inclusive and allows both membership, or pay-by-the-day golfing. A family viewing area is available for children to roam freely while parents watch novices and professionals alike hit the greens.
Good For Lessons
Even if you have no experience of golfing in North Devon, or anywhere for that matter, lessons are hosted at the Portmore Golf Park for £35. A more advanced lesson plan is also available for £45 after completing the first, and children ages 6-15 can sign up for the Junior Coaching and Development Programme. Competitions are hosted for senior members every month.
Whichever course you decide to play the Carlton team will be delighted to organise your playing arrangements and much more.
Ilfracombe Golf Club
Golfing in North Devon has never been so scenic and the club’s motto, “See the sea from every tee!”, says it all. Sweeping shorelines and breathtaking views from atop its high cliffs make Ilfracombe Golf Club one of the most desirable golf courses in North Devon and it is open all year-round.
Facilities for this course are as impressive as those at other clubs, but the atmosphere at Ilfracombe is one of the friendliest you’ll find. However, you’ll need to dress up – Ilfracombe Golf Club has a dress code that golfers must follow to the tee.
Great Discounted Fees
Visitors can enjoy a generous discount off fees when booked through the Carlton Hotel. We have also designed Stay and Play golf breaks for the avid golfer. Like the hotel, these packages are available all year round and prices start from just £89 per player per night, inclusive of a delicious three course dinner, freshly prepared breakfast and a day’s golf. If you’re a group and are planning a few nights away please call us on 01271 862446 to arrange a quick quote today.
