Trevose

Trevose occupies a stretch of the north Cornwall coast that would draw visitors for its scenery alone, but the quality of the golf makes it a destination in its own right. The championship links runs across undulating ground above Constantine Bay, with the Atlantic visible from many of the holes and the Cornish coastal path skirting the course boundary. The wind, ever-present on this exposed headland, adds an unpredictable dimension to a course that already demands precision and course management. Founded in 1925, Trevose has developed over the decades into one of the south-west's most complete golf facilities.

The resort model sets Trevose apart from many of England's private clubs. Hotel accommodation and self-catering lodges allow golfers to stay on site, and the combination of three courses means that a multi-day visit never becomes repetitive. The New 9 and Short 9 complement the main championship layout by providing options for an evening round or a less demanding day of golf, while the clubhouse and facilities are maintained to a standard that reflects the resort's ambitions as a destination rather than simply a club.

Padstow, a short drive from the course, adds a further dimension to any visit. The town is one of Cornwall's most celebrated culinary destinations, with a range of restaurants and food producers that make it a draw well beyond the summer season. For golfers planning a break that combines serious links golf with the pleasures of one of England's most distinctive coastal landscapes, Trevose and the north Cornwall coast represent one of the most satisfying combinations available.
