About The Area
Totnes is a lovely base for a South Devon golf holiday, especially for golfers who want character, countryside, river views and easy access to some excellent nearby courses. It is not a typical golf resort town, and that is part of the appeal. Totnes has a relaxed, independent feel, with a historic high street, local food, interesting shops and the River Dart running through the town.
For golf, we would look at nearby Dainton Park Golf Club and The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf & Spa. Dainton Park is a well-regarded parkland course on the outskirts of Newton Abbot, designed to follow the natural shape of the land. The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf & Spa is another strong option, with an 18-hole Championship Course and a shorter 9-hole Dartmouth Course, which makes it useful for mixed-ability groups or a more relaxed second round.
Away from golf, Totnes is full of easy extras. We would recommend a walk up to Totnes Castle for views over the town, River Dart and Dartmoor, then time around the riverside, cafés, markets and independent shops. You can also add paddleboarding, kayaking, River Dart trips, Dartington Estate or a day towards Dartmouth and the South Devon coast.
Our tip: choose Totnes if you want a golf break with proper local flavour, good nearby golf and a softer, more personal Devon holiday feel.
