It may generally be considered the second of the two layouts at Saunton, but I found the West a joy to play.
There is a great variety of holes skirting, climbing and crossing sand dunes over rolling fairways to well-protected greens.
You’re made to think from the word go and there are some fabulous holes towards the end of the round – the short par-4 15th where a pine tree stands proudly behind the green, the downhill par-3 16th demanding accurate club selection, and the testing par-5 17th where a good drive offers you the chance of reaching in two.

+ Great variety; superb views; very visitor friendly
- Slightly too short; locker rooms need updating; can get busy
