Located in the heart of North Devon on the outskirts of Barnstaple, Portmore Golf Park is a genuinely friendly and welcoming golf club for both local members and day visitors who want to pay and play.

Their two golf courses are:

  • Landkey - 9 hole par 3 golf course – a true test of accuracy and skills. Dress code – smart casual.
  • Barum – 18 holes - 6289 yards - par 71 – a challenging golf course with 8 holes featuring water. Dress code – traditional.

There are full changing facilities all fitted with showers and toilets.

Portmore is a family-run business renowned for quality and service. Business owner Colin Webber has designed the centre to appeal to golfers of all abilities, and has provided excellent facilities to allow beginners to learn and enjoy the game and develop their skills to a higher level at Portmore.

The centre offers a 23-bay undercover, floodlit driving range with viewing facilities, a ‘proper’ putting and chipping green, a golf shop with a wide selection of golfing accessories, trolley hire facilities, regular professional golf tuition, and of course the clubhouse with attractive restaurant, bar and meetings rooms.

Portmore is also one of the most environmentally-friendly golf clubs in the country too. Colin and his team have worked hard to convert the site from a dairy farm to the successful golf club it is now, introducing a sustainable approach to water usage and carbon emissions that won them the Environmental Golf Club of the Year Award in 2010. You can see an abundance of wildlife around the course including deer, badgers, otters, kingfishers, herons, kestrels and buzzards

Not content with just improving the environment around the course, the team have also put on a variety of fundraising events and have raised over £10,000 for charities in the Barnstaple area.

Golf Tuition

Golf tuition is available at Portmore for both beginners and those wanting to improve aspects of their game. Andy Pye is a PGA Class 1 Professional and he offers a wide range of coaching, either on a one-to-one basis or in groups. Tuition is extremely affordable, for example 5 1hr group introductory course for beginners is just £25.

Andy is more than happy to provide one-to-one tuition on any aspect of golf so feel free to speak to him about any problems you have with your game.

Golf Driving Range

Portmore’s 23-bay driving range is modern, floodlit and undercover, with superb mats, the only Power Tees and matts in Devon and Topflite 3000 golf balls that are changed on a regular basis. The range is over 310 yards long and has targets at various lengths, plus you can have your swing analysed in the teaching studio to see where things aren’t quite right.

The range is open all day until 9pm in summer (5pm in winter) and clubs and balls are available for hire from just £3.00 for 50 balls. With the comfy clubhouse, bar and restaurant nearby the driving range is a great place to spend an hour or two letting off steam!

The Clubhouse Restaurant

The restaurant is renowned in the Barnstaple area for its Sunday carvery which features locally-sourced ingredients such as Exmoor beef, free-range local eggs, vegetables from Simmonds in South Molton, and potatoes from Griggs in Eastleigh.

If you prefer why not come for breakfast, or later on for a coffee and home-made cake, and enjoy the views from the terrace overlooking the course. Free car parking is available.
