Architect: Fowler Stats: 6,427 yds, par 71, SSS 73 GF: £44-£79 Visitor information: Visitors permitted seven days a week W: sauntongolf.co.uk 2008 Ranking: 30 (Down 6) Improvements since 2008 Rankings: Course: No significant changes Clubhouse: Mens Locker Room has been completely refurbished
Blessed with strong par 4s from the off, it's a stern test, especially when the wind is hurting on the 470-yard opener. There are several exceptional par 4s, most notably the 4th, 14th and 16th, and the course finishes strongly with first a tough par 3, then the visually appealing dogleg 18th, where you putt out under the gaze of those in the clubhouse.
Panellists' comments: "A relentlessly demanding test"; "Thoroughly deserving of its top spot in the south west"
