"Located in picturesque Devonshire countryside near Honiton, the Otter Valley Golf Centre was the idea of Andrew Thompson, a PGA golf professional formerly based in Kent. The centre was opened in September 1988 and was designed as a residential golf school with the focus on intensive coaching courses. The 20-acre site provided enough space for seven Par 3 holes (holes 1 – 7) with two Par 4 holes (holes 8 and 9). Total length: 1548 yards. The centre closed in 2015."
