The Old Course at Bovey Castle is a challenging and beautiful championship golf course, designed in 1926 by JF Abercromby, one of the finest British golf course designers of the Golden Era. The Golf course was restored by Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie in 2003.

Designed to rival its sister courses at Gleneagles and Turnberry, this course has been described as an experience of golf never to be forgotten, presenting the pure challenge of golf to professional and amateur alike. Henry Cotton said The 7th hole is possibly the best par 4 in British in-land golf.

The Clubhouse, overlooking the first hole,is a friendly and relaxed place to enjoy an early breakfast, casual lunch or drink with friends, whilst the extensive Golf Shop arranges golf lessons for the complete beginner to advanced tuition. Clubs and a wide choice of golf merchandise are also available.
