Most visitors arrive via Exeter Airport, a compact regional gateway roughly 45 minutes northeast, though London Heathrow remains the primary international hub some three hours distant by road or rail. From Exeter, the route southwest follows the A38 before peeling off into the South Hams, where narrow Devon lanes wind through hedgerow-lined valleys and glimpses of the River Dart estuary begin to appear. The final approach to Dartmouth Golf & Country Club climbs gently above the town of Dartmouth itself, trading the bustle of the historic port for elevated, open moorland where the course spreads across dramatic headlands overlooking the English Channel - a transition from maritime charm to windswept coastal grandeur.
