Published:

It’s the flagship venue of Crown Golf and St Mellion picks up this award just after celebrating its 25th birthday.

You normally head west for the stunning links of Saunton, St Enodoc and Royal North Devon – but St Mellion beat them all… by a landslide margin. The Nicklaus is the Golden Bear’s first UK design and has staged six Benson & Hedges International Opens. St Mellion’s premier course is a formidable foe, the ultimate examination of parkland golf with no easy holes or weak links.

Everyone fancies a go on the mighty Nicklaus and no wonder it topped the latest 2-FORE!-1 Top 100 listing. It is the main attraction at a resort now featuring a revamped hotel and neighbouring 18-hole Kernow course.

TG special deal: Stay & play at St Mellion from just £79pp until the end of March. The Nicklaus is celebrating its second consecutive title with something special for TG readers: golf breaks Jan-March include B&B, unlimited golf on the Nicklaus & Kernow courses, plus free buggies on the Nicklaus.
