Welcome
E
njoy a welcome approach at Dainton Park Golf Club. A relatively modern club, built in the early 90’s by a local landowner, Dainton Park opened its doors to anyone wishing to learn the game and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. The same family, and even some of the original staff and members, continue to offer a haven for golfers of all abilities, and a venue for so much more.
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
The course has matured into a first class test of golf for all abilities. Our league teams regularly enjoy success at county level, and the club has nurtured several county players, but we also cater for the novice and occasional golfers and their families. We maintain that golf, unlike some sports, can be enjoyed by the whole family, so we provide a relaxed, friendly environment, and actively encourage family participation. Coupled with our excellent practice facilities, stylish
fitness suite and famous clubhouse delicacies, Dainton Park is the complete destination to enjoy your golf, keep fit, and socialise with friends. The result is a successful club where traditional barriers have been overcome, and where everyone feels welcome. Come and see what makes us special!

About The Course
S
et in 125 acres of parkland, Dainton Park was designed by acclaimed golf course architect Adrian Stiff, and commissioned in 1993. As with Stiff’s other notable courses in the West of England – The Kendleshire and The Players Club – multiple water features, sculpted bunkers, and generous fairways give the course an American feel.
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
Yet it was Stiff’s knowledge of the local countryside that defines the course, making the most of the undulating landscape by following the natural contours of the land, with magnificent views over Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams.
Now fully fledged, the 18-hole course is an enjoyable par 72. The course provides a wonderful golfing experience, from both the quality of the course itself and the environment in which it sits, being the home to numerous of species of bird, waterfowl, and other wildlife.
Initially the introduction of twenty thousand young sapling trees, numerous lakes and over a thousand of the designer’s trademark railway sleepers gave the course definition, but over time each hole has developed its own character.

Course Tour
I
f you have never played at Dainton Park you are in for a treat. Make the most of your trip by learning about some of the pitfalls that lie in wait, and how to avoid them, by following our holeby-hole tour. Hole 1- Par 4 – 357 Yards A straight forward tee shot to begin your round, the gentle slope will naturally take your ball to the right of the fairway, leaving you with a mid-to-short iron into the green. The putting surface is quite small and protected by water, so aim for the middle and be happy with two putts.
8 • Dainton Park
Hole 2 – Par 4 – 429 Yards
Hole 3 – Par 5 – 508 Yards
Without doubt one of the most picturesque holes in Devon, but this dogleg around a lake is also a real challenge. From the tee a long drive is required to find the centre of the fairway. Hitting left is not an option – if the lake doesn’t catch your ball, the bunker or OOB certainly will. Your approach demands a precise mid-to-long iron to reach the green.
On this par 5 long hitters beware, with an old barn house to the right and bunkers to the left of the fairway a straight tee shot is needed. But if you are successful, the green is reachable in two.
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
Hole 4 – Par 3 – 133 Yards
Hole 5 – Par 4 – 435 Yards
Hole 6 – Par 4 – 405 Yards
The shortest hole on the front nine is a real gem of a par 3. With a very long and narrow green 53 yards from front to back, your club selection will vary greatly depending on the position of the pin. But whatever club you choose accuracy is key.
If driving is your speciality, aim to reach the top of the ridge off the tee. Keeping to the right of the fairway will provide you with a better approach to the green. From there club selection depends on the pin position: the back of the green is safest, but it’ll leave you with a downhill putt to the front.
Though only a par 4, this hole is technically the hardest hole on the course. Aiming along the right-hand side of the fairway will allow you to miss the sand trap, but it will leave you a longer approach to the green. And be careful, with bunkers short left and right of the green any wayward shots will be punished.

Continued
Hole 7 – Par 4 – 386 Yards
Hole 8 – Par 3 – 183 Yards
Hole 9 – Par 4 – 375 Yards
With a strategically positioned sand trap to the right of the fairway the position of your tee shot is just as important as distance. The ideal shot would land on the left of the fairway, giving you the best crack at the elevated green.
This tee offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, but with bunkers surrounding the green it is a challenge to find the putting surface in one. Whatever the outcome why not refuel by taking on some refreshments from our halfway house beside the tee?
Standing on the elevated tee you will be encouraged to open your shoulders, but beware of OOB to the left of the fairway. The green is protected by sand traps on either side, but try and leave your ball towards the front of the green for an uphill put.
10 • Dainton Park
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
Hole 10 – Par 4 – 359 Yards
Hole 11 – Par 4 – 387 Yards
Hole 12 – Par 4 – 421 Yards
A dogleg left with a wide fairway, do not try to cut the corner as your ball will end up OOB, and you may well damage neighbouring property. Playing to the marker post with a fairway wood, utility or long iron will leave you in good stead for a mid-iron shot to the green.
A straight drive to leave your ball just short of the large fairway bunkers is best off the tee, but it’ll leave you a tough uphill second shot, so make sure you take plenty of club. The 11th is a large green, but be sure to leave yourself an uphill put if you want to be sure of a par.
For your opening shot try to reach the bottom of the fairway with your drive. Around the 150 yard marker is a great position, and you’ll have a much easier approach to the green from the most level part of the fairway. The green is 2-tiered, so take plenty of club if the flag is at the back, as it can play further than it looks.

Hole 13 – Par 4 – 324 Yards
Hole 14 – Par 4 – 475 Yards
Hole 15 – Par 3 – 173 Yards
Don’t be fooled, while this is a relatively short par 4 the stream crossing the fairway 170 yards from the tee still poses plenty of danger. Leaving the driver in the bag is a good tactic. As long as you to hit the fairway your approach will be a short iron into the green.
Longer hitters relish this hole as clearing the water hazard and crossing over onto the fairway requires a carry of 200 yards off the tee. The alternative is to lay-up, but that will require two solid shots to the green, which is well covered by sand hazards short right and left, so again accuracy is crucial.
Offering more stunning views of South Downs and Dartmoor this par 3 looks straight forward, but it plays into the prevailing wind so take plenty of club, as there is little danger long. Watch out for the bunkers either side of the green, but the generous size putting surface provides an inviting target.
12 • Dainton Park
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
Hole 16 – Par 5 – 497 Yards
Hole 17 – Par 3 – 160 Yards
Hole 18 – Par 4 – 403 Yards
With trees lining the right hand side of the fairway, your biggest danger is going left over the boundary hedge out of bounds. The putting surface is small and well protected, so the sensible option is to lay up with your approach, and be happy to get on in three.
While this par 3 looks quite short, think carefully about your club selection as the biggest part of the green is at the back. If your tee shot is slightly wild there is out of bounds left and trees right, so try and find the narrowest gap just before the green.
From the tee be wary of the water hazard crossing the fairway about 100 yards short of the green. Your second shot needs to be on the flag to avoid the sand traps. Finish with a gross or nett par here and you will walk off the course happy.

Custom Fitting
T
here has been a growing realisation in recent times that, along with professional coaching, golf equipment should allow each player to make the most of whatever level of natural talent they possess.
Clubs bought off the shelf will be of a standard specification, but unfortunately golfers are not - we come in all shapes and sizes! The reality is that a golfer could have a perfectly acceptable technique but still be held back because their clubs are not entirely suited to their swing. This is where custom fitting comes in. It is a relatively new phenomenon that allows a set of clubs to be married with each golfer’s physique and swing characteristics.
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
We understand the importance of being fitted correctly, whether for a glove, a pair of shoes, or ultimately for a set of golf clubs. Customising the clubs according to the user’s physical characteristics will train them to address the ball with the correct posture and develop a better swing plane.

Without doubt this results in better scores. But don’t just take our word for it, read what one of our customers said about our club fitting service:
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
Continued
“The club fitting I had was quite remarkable really. You read in magazines about people saying go get fitted out for your clubs, and you don’t really believe it will make much difference. But when Mike put me on FlightScope with my old clubs then suggested I try a different lie angle to see if I could get a better and straighter launch, well it was amazing how just a small adjustment made all my shots go that much longer and straighter!” – Matt Andrews
Custom fitting costs less than you think, and can bring about a dramatic improvement in ball striking, so contact one of the professional staff for more information.

The Oak Room Restaurant
he Oak Room Restaurant at Dainton Park serves arguably the best golf course catering in the county. We have a fantastic reputation among our members, visiting golfers and the nongolfing public, so much so the restaurant is now a destination all by itself, and a staple of the Dainton Park experience.
42 • Dainton Park
Built from green oak timbers by local craftsmen in 2001, with a huge gable window offering magnificent views over the golf course, the restaurant provides a unique dining experience.
Our chefs serve a hot lunch buffet every weekday, using fresh local produce in a selection of wholesome, home cooked dishes. The menu changes daily according to the season, but examples of popular dishes include Shoulder of Lamb braised in a Tomato & Mint Sauce, Pork Loin cooked with Leeks, Cider & Apples, and Venison Casserole with Juniper Berries & Redcurrants. Main dishes are always served with fresh seasonable vegetables and followed by a selection of homemade desserts.
www.daintonparkgolf.co.uk
Every Sunday we offer two sittings for a traditional roast carvery lunch. Staples of the menu are Hand Tied Legs of Lamb, Topside of Beef, Loin of Pork and Roast Turkey Breast, all sourced from local butchers where possible, and served with at least eight different seasonal vegetables.

Due to the popularity of the restaurant at lunchtime we advise booking well in advance, especially on Sundays. Call 01803 815000 or email Restaurant@daintonparkgolf.co.uk in advance to avoid disappointment.
