Ashbury Golf Club & Hotel

Ashbury Golf Club & Hotel is set on the edge of Dartmoor near Okehampton in Devon, where the moor's high, open ground gives way to the wooded valleys and farmland of mid-Devon. Okehampton sits on the northern fringe of Dartmoor National Park, a town historically built around the old A30 route and the River Okement, which drops down off the moor through the town. The resort combines golf with hotel accommodation on a single site, a format that lets it draw visitors staying for several days rather than relying solely on day-trip green fees. Dartmoor's granite tors and open moorland form the backdrop to the wider area, though the golf itself is played on the lower, gentler ground around the town rather than up on the moor. This part of Devon sees a noticeably wetter, cooler climate than the county's south coast, owing to Dartmoor's effect on rainfall, a defining feature of the Okehampton area generally.
