Stepping into the clubhouse at Royal North Devon Golf Club is like entering a museum.

Royal North Devon Golf Club has been called the St Andrews of the South. It is the cradle of golf in England, being the oldest club in the country, founded in 1864. When you tour the clubhouse you get a glimpse of its illustrious history. 

Everywhere you turn there is another piece of golf history, from old hickory clubs to ancient golf balls, from countless trophies to a never-ending row of wooden signs listing past club champions. The latter is truly a list of golf greats, with names like James Braid, Harry Vardon and J.H. Taylor. Just sit down at the old wooden table, order a pint, and feel the winds of time.
