The Best Golf Courses In Cornwall 2025

Are you planning a golfing getaway during your stay at our Cornwall chalets? You're in luck! Cornwall boasts some of the most spectacular coastal golf courses in the UK. Here's our guide to the best golf courses in Cornwall that combine challenging play with breathtaking scenery.

St. Enodoc Golf Course

Located near Rock, St. Enodoc is perhaps Cornwall's most famous golf course. Its Church Course is ranked among the top 100 courses in the world. With undulating fairways, towering sand dunes, and views across the Camel Estuary, it offers a truly memorable golfing experience. The course features the infamous Himalaya bunker – one of the highest in Europe – and the historic Norman church that gives the course its name.

Trevose Golf and Country Club

Situated near Padstow, Trevose offers a spectacular championship course with views across Constantine Bay. This links course provides different challenges depending on the wind direction, making each round unique. After your game, their clubhouse terrace is the perfect spot to relax with refreshments while enjoying panoramic coastal views.

Perranporth Golf Club

For a true links challenge, Perranporth Golf Club delivers in spades. Set on rolling dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this natural course requires thoughtful play and rewards strategic thinking. Known for its blind shots and natural hazards, it's a course that improves with every round as you learn its unique characteristics.

Mullion Golf Club

As the most southerly golf course on the British mainland, Mullion offers an extraordinary clifftop experience on the Lizard Peninsula. The course features dramatic holes along the cliff edge with stunning views across Mount's Bay. Despite its exposed location, it remains playable year-round thanks to the Gulf Stream's warming influence.

West Cornwall Golf Club

Established in 1889, West Cornwall Golf Club at Lelant is the oldest in the county. This traditional links course provides views across St Ives Bay and combines testing holes with a rich history. The course has remained largely unchanged for decades, offering an authentic links experience.

Lanhydrock Hotel and Golf Club

For those who prefer parkland courses, Lanhydrock near Bodmin offers a beautifully maintained 18-hole course set in mature woodland. With water features and strategically placed bunkers, it provides a different golfing experience from Cornwall's coastal courses while still offering excellent playing conditions.

China Fleet Country Club

Located near Saltash on the border with Devon, China Fleet features a challenging 18-hole course with water hazards on 11 holes. The course is known for its excellent condition year-round and offers great value for visitors.

Booking Your Golfing Holiday

Many of these courses welcome visitors throughout the year, though booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak summer months. Several offer special twilight rates for evening play – perfect for maximising your holiday time.

From our chalets, you're within easy driving distance of several premier courses. We're happy to help arrange tee times or provide more information about any of these golfing destinations. Just ask at reception!
