Great Golf hotel. Not super-posh, but certainly to an adequate standard... Food OK, again, not tip-top, but more than adequate. Staff very helpful indeed! Especially Peter (I think) at reception, and Garry in the pro shop. Many thanks!!

From arrival to departure, every member of staff we encountered was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and it genuinely made a difference to the overall experience. The service was consistently warm and professional in the hotel, bars and restaurant. The food was also a real positive. There was a good selection available and everything we had during the stay was very enjoyable.the quality was good and there portions were generous. The spa facilities were another highlight spacious, relaxing and a great place to unwind after a day of golf. Where the hotel falls slightly short is in the rooms and some of the public areas. The bedrooms are quite basic for a resort of this reputation and felt a little tired in places. Our room had no fridge or coffee machine, the beds were not particularly well made, and the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor. None of these are huge issues individually, but together they stop the hotel from feeling as premium as the golf resort itself. The bars were also disappointing, especially the “sports bar.” It lacked atmosphere, had very small TVs which made watching live sport difficult, and the seating was surprisingly uncomfortable. It also closed fairly early midweek, which limited the evening atmosphere and our group ended up going back to our rooms. Overall, the staff, food and spa made for an enjoyable stay, but the hotel itself would benefit from a few upgrades and some extra attention to detail to match the quality of the golf facilities.

Absolutly loved our stay

Very enjoyable. The room and food were great and the staff friendly

Excellent golf break. Courses were both excellent. Accommodation and food were really good and staff were friendly and helpful.

All facilities were in the hotel including an excellent spa.

Much more forgiving than the Nicklaus course but still a great challenge. Everyone in the group really enjoyed this course, and it was in great condition...!!

Tough and tight challenge... Very nice conditions, but quite unforgiving in regard to narrow fairways and cliffs/drop-offs each side in many cases. Pretty spectacular.

The signature Nicklaus course at St Mellion is well worth experiencing. The course was in excellent condition and has several standout holes that are genuinely memorable. The par 4 sixth in particular is a fantastic golf hole and one that will stick in the memory. The layout is challenging throughout, with a real championship feel, and the scenery adds to the overall experience. Again there is no halfway house, you do pass close to the clubhouse between the 9th and 10th holes, making it easy enough to stop for refreshments if needed. The staff around the resort were, excellent and added to the overall experience. Where I’m slightly more critical is the value for money. The green fee pricing puts the Nicklaus course up against some very strong premium golf courses, and while it is definitely worth playing, I do feel it is slightly overpriced for the overall experience offered. The course quality is excellent, but at that price point expectations naturally become very high in terms of facilities. Overall though, it is still a course I would recommend playing at least once. It’s a challenging and memorable round on a beautifully maintained course, even if the pricing feels a little ambitious compared to some competing venues.

The course was in great condition and has some really memorable feature holes. It’s a challenging layout with plenty of stunning scenery throughout, making it enjoyable to play. The biggest downside was the pace of play. A 5 hour round is simply too long, and there didn’t seem to be any marshals visible managing the course. Slow play can happen, especially with larger groups out on the course, but it really needs to be managed better to keep rounds moving at a reasonable pace. Another disappointment was the halfway hut setup, which was just two vending machines. For a resort with such a strong golfing reputation, it felt underwhelming and could definitely be improved. That said, Kernow is a fantastic course and absolutely worth playing if you visit St Mellion.

Absolutly loved it, weather was great, course in great shape. Bit slow but did not matter,

The course was very wet under foot, due to the amount of rainfall the south of England has had. I think the course should have been rested for a few days and maybe rescheduled till a couple weeks after unfortunately. The course was still good though, just the condition was not the greatest.
