The South Devon Golf Tour’s success in attracting golfers to the South West has been recognised with a place on the shortlist for the South Devon Excellence Awards.

The golf tour has reached the final stages of the ‘Best Sales and Marketing Award’ category, testament to the work done in bringing together seven of the region’s top golf venues in order to attract travelling golfers.

The South Devon Golf Tour packages, based at Dartmouth Golf & Country Club, start from just £139 per person for two nights’ dinner, bed and breakfast, with 18 holes on both Dartmouth courses and a choice of any third layout.

Alternatively a one-night break costs as little as £89 per person and still includes 54 holes.

The breaks include a round on the resort’s Championship course, unlimited golf on the nine-hole Dartmouth course and one round on a choice of China Fleet, Bigbury, Dawlish Warren, Dainton Park and Churston or for a £40 supplement the renowned Bovey Castle.

Dan Chidley, sales and marketing manager for Dartmouth Golf & Country Club, said: “I’m delighted that’ our hard work establishing the South Devon Golf tour has been recognised like this.

“We’v brought together some of the top golf venues in the region in order to really boost what is being offered to people visiting South Devon and created something unique which is a huge benefit to the area.”

Dartmouth Golf & Country Club is located just four miles from the historic town of Dartmouth and is the ideal base from which to explore the delights of south Devon, with Dartmoor, the River Dart, fantastic beaches and a host of picturesque towns and villages nearby.

The resort is an ideal base for a UK off-season break as it benefits from a mild winter, meaning no temporary greens or tees in play. Guest also receive complimentary use of the leisure facilities, which include an indoor pool, Jacuzzi and sauna.
