Course information

Originally designed and set out by J Hamilton Stutt in 1976, it soon became recognised as one of the finest courses in the South West, playing host to the Benson & Hedges International Open in 1979, followed by the Tournament Players Championship and the Weetabix Ladies British Open.

With the arrival of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in 1988, the Kernow course was somewhat overshadowed, until in 2008 it was completely redeveloped, incorporating 9 of the original holes, extended and modernised, along with nine exciting new holes. With wider fairways, larger greens and spectacular views the Kernow course is a wonderful complement to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.

The new layout includes the 7th, a par three measuring over 200yds, followed by a stunning new 530yd par 5, while the outstanding 179 yd par three over the chasm has been incorporated as the new 14th hole and the 18th hole now brings your round to a close at the club house.

Golf World Expert Review

St Mellion Hotel and Golf Club is big, bold and brassy...and you'll love it to bits. In fact, once you've played here, virtually all other golf courses will pale into insignificance: precious few inland layouts can match St Mellion's dynamic combination of quality, challenging golf and awe-inspiring aesthetics.

To say it presents a stern test of golf is a gross understatement and you certainly have to be on the ball from the word go: the front nine is particularly demanding and you need to keep it on the fairway - or else! There are many outstanding individual holes. In fact there's barely a single weak link at this Cornish cracker which truly lives up to its star billing and reputation.
