Royal North Devon Golf Club
The Royal North Devon Golf Club (RND) is a private golf club in Westward Ho!, Devon, England. Founded in 1864 as the North Devon and West of England Golf Club, RND operates the oldest golf course in England. It was granted royal status by King Edward VII—then Prince of Wales—in 1867. Located on the Northam Burrows SSSI, the links course was designed by Scottish golfer Old Tom Morris. It has been noted for its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and related conservation schemes. The 18-hole Championship Course provides a challenging experience for golfers, who face trade winds from the Atlantic and a high slope rating. RND hosted the Amateur Championship in 1912, 1925, and 1931. Notable former members include five-time Open champion John Henry Taylor and two-time British Amateur champion Horace Hutchinson. It placed ninety-fourth in Golf Monthly's rankings of British and Irish courses in 2025.
