    Overview

    Saunton’s East Course was first laid out in 1897, but Herbert Fowler, designer of Walton Heath, made extensive changes in 1919. In 1944 during World War II, the U.S. Army used the property on the coast in southwest England as a camping area. Today, the course winds through towering dunes in an area that has over 500 species of flora, making the links especially picturesque. Sergio Garcia won the 1997 British Boys Amateur at Saunton.
