Yelverton is a delightful moorland course, designed in 1904 by Herbert Fowler, (who also worked on the design of holes at Walton Heath, The Berkshire, Burnham & Berrow, RAC, Royal North Devon and Saunton to name a few), and completed the second of two stages of his course design in 1923 when the 18 hole course was opened.
The course has outstanding views across Dartmoor and over Cornwall, and Herbert Fowler incorporated some of the old mine workings, and leats, as natural hazards to challenge golfers of all standards. The course has been host to many top quality competitions, including the EGU Men’s Senior Amateur Championships in 2006.
