Course Description
The peace and tranquility of Stover Golf Club, located on the edge of Newton Abbot, is a convenient treat for golfers in the south west, with easy access from the A38 and M5. The course is one of the best parkland courses in the south west. The beautiful parkland golf course features a wide variety of holes, elevation change, mature trees, streams and picturesque ponds. Our 18 hole 5959 yards course off the back tees consists of two loops of nine holes which both come back to the clubhouse. The course design was influenced by '5 times British Open Champion - James Braid' and provides easy walking, narrow tree lined fairways but contains subtly contoured greens that present a fair but challenging test of golf for all enthusiasts.
