Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just looking to enjoy the sport in a picturesque location, Cornwall courses can provide the best golfing experiences in the UK, combining challenging play with some of the most stunning natural landscapes. There is a long history of golf, several courses dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries and this reflected in the quality and character of the courses.
Cornwall’s mild climate allows for year round golfing and traffic free roads and off-peak green fee pricing make Spring and Autumn, in our opinion, the perfect time for a golfing break.
