Dartmouth Golf & Country Club offers 27 holes of parkland golf within the rolling countryside of South Devon. Located near Blackawton and approximately five miles from Dartmouth, it combines a challenging championship layout with a shorter course suitable for additional rounds and golfers of mixed abilities.

The par-72 Championship Course was designed by Jeremy Pern and opened in 1992. It extends to almost 7,200 yards from the back tees, although four teeing options make the layout accessible to a broad range of handicaps. Its dramatic terrain, meandering streams, undulating greens and numerous water features place a premium on sound course management. Players must judge changes in elevation carefully and choose when to attack rather than relying solely on distance.

The Dartmouth Course is a nine-hole, par-33 layout measuring 2,252 yards. Five par threes are joined by two par fours and two par fives, creating more variety than its length might suggest. The fairways are generally more generous than those on the Championship Course, but water and contoured greens maintain the challenge. Three sets of tees allow it to be played as an 18-hole round, making it ideal for arrival-day golf, beginners or players wanting a second game.

Practice facilities include nets, grass and artificial teeing areas, a chipping green, practice bunker and a large putting green beside the clubhouse. The professional shop offers club, trolley and buggy hire, although winter weather can occasionally result in carry-only restrictions.

The adjoining Dartmouth Hotel provides rooms, self-catering cottages, a bar and bistro and spa facilities. Stay-and-play packages frequently combine Championship Course rounds with additional golf on the shorter Dartmouth Course, making the venue particularly convenient for societies and mixed golf groups.

Beyond the resort, Dartmouth, the River Dart, Blackpool Sands and the South Devon coastline provide plenty of options for non-golfing time.
