I was driven past it often enough when holidaying in Devon as a child but I never got to see much more than a passing blur of Saunton Golf Club in south-west England, so this video of a somewhat fresh day's golf on its East Course was a welcome discovery, even if you have to sit through one of the all-time ghastly swings to enjoy it...
The English Dornoch, insofar as its remote location has always effectively ruled it out of consideration as an Open venue, Saunton's site was commandeered for military training purposes during WWII, American tanks rumbling amid the dunes. Both East and West Courses were designed by Herbert Fowler but the latter course was redesigned by Frank Pennink in the 1970s.
