Trevose Golf & Country Club

Perched above Constantine Bay with the Atlantic crashing below, this championship course has been testing golfers since 1925. The clifftop layout offers three courses - the Championship, Headland, and Short - with the main draw being those stunning coastal views that'll have you forgetting your handicap momentarily.

Serious golfers will love the Championship course, a proper test that's hosted European Tour qualifying and amateur championships. The wind off the sea adds an extra challenge that keeps even low handicappers honest. Less experienced players might prefer the shorter Headland course, which still delivers those sea views without quite the same punishment.

Families staying at nearby parks like Padstow Holiday Village or Watergate Bay Touring Park will find the Short Course perfect for introducing kids to golf - it's only nine holes and much more forgiving. The clubhouse does decent food too, handy after working up an appetite battling the Cornish wind.

Booking ahead is essential, especially in summer when the course gets properly busy. Green fees aren't cheap, but you're paying for one of Cornwall's finest golfing experiences. Allow a full day if you're playing the Championship course - you'll want time to soak up those views from the 19th hole.
