Yelverton Golf Club Once described as a ‘good walk spoiled’, golf has now become THE sport in this very difficult year. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, it has been one of the only sports that has continued. Your local club, Yelverton Golf Club, has seen a huge increase in membership this year, with many people taking up golf and discovering for themselves how wonderful the game of golf really is. Not only are the health benefits, both physically and mentally immeasurable, but social distancing can be practised with ease. Established in 1904, the club was designed by Herbert Fowler, one of the greatest course designers of his time. Using old mine workings as natural hazards, he created a challenging course for even the most discerning golfer. The views across Dartmoor stretch as far as the eye can see, where ponies, cattle and sheep have happily co-habited the fairways with golfers for more than a hundred years. The clubhouse, beautifully traditional, is friendly and welcoming, offering a fine selection of food and drinks to members and visitors alike. The carvery, served every Sunday is a must, but booking is essential. The raised decking area, is perfect
for summer, whilst the spacious dining room offers a fabulous setting for any special occasion, be it weddings, birthdays, christenings etc. Set menus are available, however bespoke packages can be arranged. Conference room facilities are also available. Contact General Manager Sarah George on sarah@yelvertongolf.co.uk or 01822 852 824. The golf team runs a fun and vibrant golf shop, headed up by PGA professional Adam Frayne, who along with assistant Matt Cooper, offers a variety of coaching packages including the junior coaching programme which takes place every weekend. A full custom fit experience and repair service is also available using the recently launched workshop and the simulator room which includes Trackman technology and can be hired for private use. Further golf facilities include the practice range, short course, chipping and putting green. The golf team also arranges visitor and society bookings and can help with any membership enquiries.
