Sidmouth Golf Club

Loved playing Sidmouth despite a near calamity at the start when my trolley rolled downhill behind me, fortunately into a fence and not the cars in the nearby car park. The course was in spotless condition. I see a few reviewers have given adverse remarks about the slopes on many of the holes, however I had no issues with them. Any effect the slopes had was negligible and I really enjoyed my round. Great views over Sidmouth, the Jurassic Coast and Lyme Bay

If you don't like hitting the ball on a slope this course is not for you! The fair ways are sloped the greens are sloped your trolley and your ball want to run down the slopes. It was a different but an enjoyable challenge. Given the indifferent weather of 2024 the course was in good condition. The pace of play was slow as there was a few holes that cross fairways.

May be a little challenging for those who normally play a flatter course.

A ver helpful pro and great to get a free guide for first time players. Only drawback were the regular players who pressed you all the time. A couple times snother ball landed on the greens as i was walking off. Very unprofessional.

Regardless of the regulars i had a good time.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, fantastic course … Thanks Sidmouth!

Lovely welcome with very friendly Proshop

However the course is built on side of hills very up and down sloapy and not a flat lie in sight making it impossible to keep ball on fairway’s

Lots of blind tea shots and elevated greens which made shot selection very difficult

There are 7par threes with three in a row and one had a tree smack bang in the middle making hard to achieve

If you do go hear in wet weather ensure you wear spikes as very slippery

All in all poor course not enjoyable at all and would not recommend

To friends

Complete waste of money. Pro shop constantly shut, members standing on balcony by the 18th taking bets on the amount of putts it will take beginners to get down in and all round shiii hole. No matter your shot shape or skill level the theme of this course is trying to play against a severe slope which runs throughout the course. Front 9 the slope on your right towards to the clubhouse and sea, and even if you hit a draw/hook, the ball will camber down to the right in the same areas your playing partner is in. Same on the back 9, the slop is now on your left as you head back to the club house. Greens are slow, fairways are bare and tight. 7x par 3s which makes this a Mickey Mouse par 66. The club “boasts good players” but in truth it’s guys who like playing an easy course to have a low handicap who can’t take that handicap anywhere and regularly get beat at other courses up against proper players. The “Jewell in the crown” is the 1st and 18th fairways combining/crossing over. The pro uses the first fairway as a teaching/custom fitting area, so he will probably ask you to use a bright coloured ball on the 18th hole to help you identify your ball amongst his practice balls peppered around your landing area. Oh and don’t forget the balcony of long standing members placing bets on you as you try to putt out. Advice, if you’re desperate to play this course for the views go to Ace Cliff OR just sneak on after 4pm when the pro shop is shut and the course is dead. Alternatively, pay a bit more and go to Honiton or Woodbury.

Some tricky par 3s, good overall.

Postcode on the website is wrong unfortunately

Wanting to play a local golf course with my son this turned out to be a perfect day. The weather was pleasant and the course in a reasonable condition after all the wet weather. For people who have not played the course before it could be difficult in parts to know where the next tee was - improved signage would be good. We wanted to eat after playing but only sausage or bacon rolls on offer. Irrespective my son and I had an enjoyable game of golf

A challenge to meet the slopes otherwise course keeped in good condition.

Partner and I played this course on a sunny Sunday at start of Feb . Firstly the Pro shop was closed so had to check in with bar staff . Very smiley lady said could go when ready as fairly quiet so win win . When set up realised we were behind two 4 balls but they kindly let us play first. Thank you to them . Now the course:- This is one tough knock and is more suited to a Billy Goat or someone with one leg longer than another . At no point do you stand somewhere flat and just keep climbing it seems to hole nine .You struggle to hold your trolley traversing the ground . The course could have done with a good trim but probably left long for winter .Greens were in good nick just very wet ,slow and bobbly . Some stunning views were had so not bad for a £12 round price. It was very claggy with your ball picking up a lot of mud all the way round but I suppose that’s winter golf .7 par threes on the course doesn’t help either so not my type of golf. I would travel the extra miles and join East Devon .Didn’t stop for a drink because needed to get back for football but clubhouse looked very dated with loads of chipboard flooring needing carpeting.But hey ho another one ticked off .

Good weather and the course much looked in fair condition bearing in mind the prolonged wet weather we've had. Some greens were soggy but not enough to effect putting. Some challenging holes, especially the long par 3s.
