Bovey Castle sits in a beautiful Dartmoor setting, a pretty and well-kept course, with superb greens. The front nine is tough, with lots of water, often very close to greens. The 3rd is brutal, a mere 200 yard “short hole” squeezed through trees with water left, short and long. I’ve never played a par 3 Stroke Index 1 but this one could maybe justify being so. The back nine is on higher ground with less water & a more open feel from the tee, although it’s certainly no pushover. The 450 yard 11th and the 433 yard closing hole are both brutes. Overall, a tough but very enjoyable round. I’d love to play Bovey Castle again & maybe plot around it a little better with knowledge from the prior round.

Auch in England hat es die letzten 3 Monate fast ununterbrochen geregnet. Die geplanten Plätze sind alle geschlossen. Hier in Bovey Castle sind 8 Bahnen spielbar. Die Umgebung im Dartmoor NP ist herrlich: dunkle Wälder, Hügel, Bäche, Castles und mittendrin spannende Golfbahnen. Ich kann nach Absprache mit dem Clubhaus die 8 Bahnen doppelt laufen, auch das ist mal eine Erfahrung. Los geht’s mit der 11; ein längeres Par 4 mit nicht einfachem Grünangriff (erhöht und hinter einem Bachlauf). Dann folgen 2 Bahnen parallel zur Zufahrtsstraße, um dann wieder in den Wald abzubiegen. Hier sind gleich dreimal die Grüns hinter Kuppen versteckt. Wenn die anderen 10 Bahnen auch so designed sind, müsste es ein sehr schöner Platz sein.


Die Duschen sind heiß und Brasserie des Schlosshotels ist sehr edel.


Den Platz No. 118 wūrde ich gerne irgendwann mal komplett spielen. So, see you soon.

Course 118, the 1. st in England, leider sind durch den extrem nassen Winter fast alle Plätze geschlossen, doch Bovey Castle hat 8 Bahnen geöffnet, die ich 2 x laufe. Diese Bewertung ist deshalb unvollkommen, aber der Parkland-Kurs deutet an, sich interessant zu spielen. Einige Blind-Shots mit spannenden Gr��ns erwarten ein soliden Umgang mit den Schlägern. Im Sommer ist es sicherlich eine lohnenswerte Destination im Dartmoor NP.

Wat een lokatie. Fantastisch. Heerlijke golfbaan, ook hier weer moeilijke greens heel veel ondulatie. Slecht te lezen greens. De rough is pittig, dus recht vanaf de TEE maakt het leven makkelijker. Bunkers prima, tee-boxen dramatisch. Het grootste probleem is de ontbrekende routing, als je zoals wij voor de eerste keer hier speelt. Is de route een uitdaging. Man wat een drama. Als laatste klaag ik even over hole 18. Blinde hole zonder geleiding. Hopeloos en onnodig.
