The Royal North Devon Golf Course based in Westward Ho! is the oldest golf course in England and is a fantastic and picturesque place to play. It is only a 5 min drive from Bideford and is popular among the locals and holiday makers coming to the area, therefore there is no surprise that a professional tournament is being played at the course in October.
