The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf & Spa, which earlier this year was named among the UK’s top 100 golf resorts, is adding to its already impressive facilities with the development of a new golf academy, planned to open in June 2024.
In addition to its 18-hole championship course and a nine-hole club course, the Devon-based golf resort will create a driving range on its six acres of land adjacent to the fifth and sixth holes on the Dartmouth Course. This will include a driving range with an 8-bay grass teeing area; an artificial teeing area; a practice chipping green with a greenside bunker, which will also double up as a fairway bunker. The 200-yard driving range will provide room to hit mid-to-long irons.
The facility will not only enhance the golfing experience for club members and visitors, but also gives the resort with a new teaching facility which will form part of plans to grow the club’s youth academy. The practice facility and the six acres of land it sits in, will also provide outdoor event space for corporate team building activities.
General Manager Ian Davies: “Following the closure of the old range, considerable investment has gone into the planning and creation of this new golf practice area, which will far exceed what we could previously offer. It is not only a welcome addition for our 350 golf club members and local golf enthusiasts, but also for resort guests and conference delegates. We will utilise the golf range, alongside the surrounding outdoor area, to introduce a suite of new team-building activities. All making the most of the resort’s excellent golf courses and beautiful Devon countryside setting.”
