FORE! Guide to the best local golf courses in Cornwall

Just where are the best places to play golf in Cornwall? Bring your clubs and enjoy a round at some of the finest courses in the UK – all only a short drive from Kenegie Manor Holiday Park.

West Cornwall Golf Club, St Ives

If it’s pro golf you’re looking for, then head to West Cornwall Golf Club near St Ives, famous for being the oldest course in England. Located approximately 9 miles away from our Cornwall holiday park, it’s a beautiful 18 hole, par 69 links golf course in Cornwall with amazing views.

The fairways are undulating and there are several blind tee shots, plus golfing here can be tricky when the wind is up. However, the greens are good, quick and smooth with beautiful views over the estuary and sea. Watch out for several places where holes crossover that could cause confusion and delay if busy.

After your game, enjoy a browse in the well-stocked pro’s shop or head to the friendly clubhouse for a drink and something to eat. Find out more here: https://wcgolf.co.uk
