East Course
at Saunton Golf Club
Devon, England
Overview
This 6444 yard, par-71 course has been laid out over the rugged Devon landscape for 120 years and would have been in consideration to host an Open Championship but for logistical issues. With a number of testing holes there are no tricks, just a demand for accurate and solid ball striking. Even the shorter holes will keep you on your toes with raised greens and defending bunkers.

Sergio Garcia was victorious at the Boys Amateur Championship on the East Course in 1997.
