About Golf in Exeter
Exeter is Devon's county town - ancient, compact, and excellently connected. Its golf reflects the county's character: varied, scenic, and unhurried. From clifftop courses on the South Devon coast to one of England's finest links on the North Devon shore, Exeter sits at the centre of a region that rewards golfers who make the journey.
Why Gift Golf Lessons in Exeter?
Devon's golf offer is more impressive than most people expect. East Devon Golf Club, perched on the cliffs above Budleigh Salterton, is a 6,200-yard championship layout with sea views and a challenge that has earned it recognition as one of the finest courses in the county. Exeter Golf & Country Club, designed by James Braid and set within a Georgian mansion estate, brings together excellent tuition facilities and a beautifully mature parkland course in one convenient venue.
The broader Devon picture is even better. Saunton Golf Club, on the North Devon coast, is widely considered among the greatest links courses in England - a vast dunescape overlooking the Atlantic where the wind is always a factor and the golf is always memorable. Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! adds another world-class links to the equation. For a golf gift that captures the very best of English countryside and coastline, Devon is hard to beat - and Exeter is your gateway into it.
Types of Golf Lessons Available
Beginner Group Sessions
Exeter's golf clubs and driving ranges run beginner group sessions throughout the year, typically priced from £25–£40 per person. The sessions are friendly and practical - ideal for someone who has always been curious about golf and wants to try it without pressure.
Private PGA Coaching
Private PGA coaching in the Exeter area ranges from £50–£80 per session. Exeter Golf & Country Club has experienced PGA professionals on staff, and the parkland setting provides a calm and well-equipped environment for both beginners and more advanced players.
Playing Lessons
On-course playing lessons near Exeter are genuinely special. Walking the clifftop fairways of East Devon with a professional coach, learning to manage wind and terrain in a coastal setting, is a far more engaging experience than any driving range session. Playing lessons are available at several clubs across the region.
Experience Days
Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club offers comprehensive experience day packages including coaching, a round on their scenic Devon parkland, and lunch. These start from around £90 and represent outstanding value given the quality of surroundings and instruction available.
