South Devon – A Golf Holiday, Not Just Holiday Golf

I’ve played quite a bit of golf in Devon over the years but mainly on the north coast. I’m a country member at Royal North Devon and have golfed extensively there, also reasonably often at nearby Saunton. When you think of Devon golf, those are probably the first two venues that spring to mind. But I’ve also become aware through various conversations over the years, and after a trip for a game at Teignmouth last year, of the quality of golf to be found on the south Devon coast between Exeter and Plymouth. I’d wanted to explore more and a meeting with Genesis earlier this year gave me inspiration. They suggested I took a G70 Shooting Brake for a spin on a golfing trip, and I reckoned south Devon was the perfect destination.

I booked a few days in early May to meet with some golfing buddies down Teignmouth way, picked up the car, loaded it with my kit (very easily as there’s plenty of boot space for clubs and trolley – In fact plenty for two people I’d say) and headed off.
