Golf Courses

Ashbury Golf Hotel is a paradise for any golfer, set in over 500 acres of beautiful countryside and offering views across the rolling Devon countryside.

Kigbeare Golf Course - The Kigbeare Course is the longest layout at Ashbury, measuring 6,528 yards with a par of 72. Set within the Kigbeare Estate, it is renowned for its large greens, tricky pin positions, and sweeping parkland views. With tree-lined fairways and a variety of shot-making challenges, Kigbeare rewards accuracy and strong putting, offering a true test for experienced golfers.

Pines Golf Course - At over 6,400 yards, the Pines Course is the second longest and a favourite among golfers of all abilities. The front nine is more forgiving, with wide fairways and gentle slopes, while the back nine tightens up dramatically with tall, mature trees demanding precision. It’s a course of contrasts, offering both scoring opportunities and stern tests.

Beeches Golf Course - The Beeches Course is a par-68 design measuring 5,738 yards and is often described as the most picturesque of the resort’s courses. With stunning views across Dartmoor and clever design improvements introduced in 2008, it balances beauty with challenge. The course’s mix of shorter and longer holes makes it enjoyable for players of all levels.

Oakwood Golf Course - The Oakwood Course is the shortest 18-hole layout at Ashbury, playing 5,502 yards with a par of 68. Don’t be fooled by its length - Oakwood is a strategic golfer’s dream, featuring 10 ponds and numerous bunkers that demand accuracy. It’s known as the “thinking golfer’s course,” where careful shot selection and precision are key to a good score.

Willows Par-3 Course - Unique to Ashbury, the Willows Course is an 18-hole par-3 layout, measuring 2,018 yards. Hole distances range from 69 to 145 yards, making it ideal for beginners, families, or those looking to sharpen their short game. Hailed as one of the finest par-3 courses in the South West, its smaller greens and clever hazards provide a fun yet challenging experience.

Ashbury Golf Hotel's golf facilities are top-class, boasting Europe's largest buggy fleet with over 400 buggies, a new state of the art golf fitting studio, a well equipped professional shop and a great practice area including practice nets, putting greens, a short game area and an indoor warm-up range.
