Welcome to the Warren Golf Club. (Est. 1892)

“To provide the best possible standard and value of course and amenities
within available resources for the membership and visitors”

For over one hundred years, players of all abilities have enjoyed the challenge of links golf in this uniquely beautiful place. Founded by the Earls of Devon in 1892 and situated on a sand spit that seperates the Exe estuary from the sea, our largely level, eighteen hole, duneland course offers views of sea, estuary and rolling hills. Equidistant between the historic cathedral city of Exeter (12 miles), Torquay, and the market town of Newton Abbot, the course can be easily reached by car (on course parking), by rail (Dawlish Warren station 100 yards from the first tee) and by a regular and frequent bus service. A benign micro climate and our sandy soil usually enable us to enjoy golf for 365 days a year.  We almost never close!

“The Warren Golf Club is a good challenge to golfers of all standards who
appreciate quality greens” (Over 80% of customer feedback)

Course (Click on the heading for more details)
The Warren is a traditional links course of 5954 yards, designed in its present form by James Braid and playing to a par of 69. The fairways are natural, unspoilt duneland turf on the seaward side, with lusher grasses on the estuary side. Banks of heather, small copses, drifts of gorse, ponds, banks and ditches add to the challenge of the course. Our greens are acknowledged as being as fine as any in the South West: fast, fair and true.

However, The Warren is more than just a golf course; it is a site of special scientific interest and a truly precious place. It is home to rare orchids, plants and grasses, including the unique Warren Crocus. The Warren is a stopover for huge flocks of migratory birds and wildfowl. Birdlife is rich and exotic whatever the season. Stoats, foxes, birds of prey and rabbits exist in delicate equilibrium. Happily, golf benefits this unique ecology which is further protected by the stewardship of English Nature.
