Pines Golf Course
Originally part of the Ashbury 27 combination course, Pines was extended and opened as its own
18-hole course in September 2003.
At 5,628 yards and Par 69 from the yellow tee plates Pines is the longest of our courses. The 10 new holes have been designed to keep the existing contours and natural features in place. For example parts of the Devon hedges have been taken out, moved and replanted so that they run parallel to holes. Ditches have not been covered in but widened to make them a significant hazard on three holes, where club selection is as important as distance. To enhance the natural features 1110 native trees have been added along with 5 new ponds - 3 on one hole!! 30 new bunkers have been built including on the 10th hole three links style pot bunkers behind and to the right of the green to catch shots running through.
Beeches Golf Course
The Beeches course, at 5,351 yards and par 68 from the yellow tees, is arguably the most picturesque of our courses. Starting from the clubhouse the course includes 15 of the original holes built in 1991. Fantastic views can be seen from many parts of the course. From the 1st tee you can look South towards Dartmoor and from the 7th tee with Dartmoor still in view you can look North to the coast and Exmoor.
The 14th hole is the most talked about hole of them all. A 375 yard par 4 that doglegs to the left and drops 180 feet from tee to green. Club selection is all important, with many people taking an iron from the tee to find one of the 3 plateaux. This leaves an approach shot of approximately 150 yards to the pin. Only the brave take a driver, but just about everyone walks off the green wanting to go back and play the hole again. The 18th is an excellent 152 yard par 3 finishing hole. The tee shot is all carry to the stepped green, with 3 ponds waiting to swallow up any shots short of the target.
