Bowood Park
A stunning course set in rolling parkland, with wonderful views and a par 72.
This is an enjoyable course to play for both beginners and scratch players, and has a driving range, putting and chipping greens.

The Point at Polzeath
Benefitting from significant investment in the last few years, The Point now has some of the best greens in Cornwall.
Playing just under 6300 yards off the back tees with wonderful views out to sea. The course presents a real challenge whilst still being suitable for all abilities.
There’s a cracking new bar and restaurant to boot.
Trevone
One of the country’s top links courses, there are three courses on site making it suitable for all abilities.
Surrounded by the Seven Bays for Seven Days around Padstow, the views out to the Atlantic are magnificent. Though you’ll find the resulting wind can make the courses challenging indeed.
St. Kew

You’ll find it’s a quiet, friendly course with a challenging layout.
Perranporth
One of the South West’s finest links courses with spectacular views over the coast.
Set amongst the dunes, it’s undulating and features fast greens and blind drives.

Two undulating 18 hole links courses to try, Church and Holywell. With beautiful views over the Camel Estuary and out to Stepper Point.
On the course is the pretty St. Enodoc’s church, the final resting place of the poet laureate Sir John Betjeman. The church was previously buried in the dunes and legend has it that the vicar and the congregation had to be lowered through the roof for the annual church service.
This is both a challenging and beautiful course and is very well-regarded.
Rock is within walking distance. It’s a great place for non-golfing companions to while away a few hours.
