About Bovey Castle Holiday Apartment

Since its official inauguration in 1926Bovey Castle's Old Course has been consistently regarded as one of the best inland challenges in the South-West and beyond. The course is set within the beautiful parkland of the Dartmoor National Parkand was originally conceived by the revered J.F. Abercromby as a sister course to the world-renowned Gleneagles and Turnberrybut has since been revised by designers Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie.

Although it has always been a course of considerable reputeBovey Castle has greatly benefited from recent investment to improve both its condition and appearance; the drainage and irrigation systems have been completely overhaulednew tee boxes added and many of the bunkers and greens have been reworked.

The resultant 6 303 yard championship layout befits the grandeur of the estateand is a real gem of a course. Against the backdrop of the Bovey and Bowden Riverswhich golfers must negotiate frequentlyBovey Castle has been restored to its former glory and is among England's most luxurious destinations for a golf break.

The warm and welcoming clubhouse stands above the opening hole at Bovey Castleand is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and lunchor to analyse the day's golf with friends over a well-earned drink.
