Chulmleigh Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside of mid-Devon, approximately fifteen miles southeast of Barnstaple. The course was designed by John Goodban and occupies elevated farmland that offers views across the surrounding agricultural landscape toward Dartmoor in the distance. The terrain features the gentle undulations characteristic of this part of Devon, with the routing making use of natural slopes and contours. The layout presents a parkland character with mature trees lining several fairways and hedgerows defining boundaries in the traditional Devon manner. The course measures modest in length by contemporary standards but requires accurate placement, as the topography creates uneven lies and the wind can be a factor on the more exposed holes. Several holes play across or along the natural fall of the land, creating approach shots to greens set at varying elevations. Chulmleigh functions as a members' club serving the local golfing community in this rural part of North Devon. The club maintains traditional values typical of smaller English clubs, with a welcoming atmosphere for visitors exploring golf in the region. The course provides a straightforward test suited to a range of abilities, with the natural terrain and mature landscaping offering more challenge than the yardage might suggest.
