Following a comprehensive £20 million redevelopment, the St Mellion International Resort now features the recently opened brand new 4* hotel plus significant improvements to the Nicklaus Signature Course and the Kernow Course (formerly the Old Course).
St Mellion is arguably the premier golfing destination in the South-West, boasting two championship courses, and has welcomed the European Tour's elite on no less than six occasions for the Benson and Hedges International.
Nicklaus Course
Opened in 1988, the Nicklaus Course at St Mellion was the Golden Bear's first project in the UK, and to this day Jack rates it as one of his best creations. The £2.5 million investment now complete was overseen by the Nicklaus design team.
From the championship tee markers the course measures 7,019 yards and is a thorough examination, but there are tees to suit golfers of all abilities. The Nicklaus is typical of its designer's architectural ethos, with a premium being placed on finding the correct position from the elevated tees in order to attack the flags. Inaccuracy will be punished severely by the strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards around this South-Western gem.
Kernow Course
Formerly known as the Old Course, St Mellion's Kernow is often in the shadow of Jack Nicklaus' creation next door, but it is a fine championship layout in its own right. Though not particularly long by modern standards - the Kernow measures 5,782 yards - there is no shortage of challenge and intrigue.
A major face-lift has seen the addition of new lakes and bunkers, plus some totally rebuilt putting surfaces. Spectacular scenery surrounds the course, whose highlights include the short 12th, where the green is guarded closely by water, and the memorable par-4 closing hole which demands two excellent strikes.
St Mellion has hosted the English Seniors Open for the previous two years, and will be the host of the PGA European Tour's English Open in 2011.

The St Mellion International Resort's new 4* hotel is the star of the £20 million project, and is situated conveniently next to the clubhouse, and provides extremely comfortable hospitality for a golf break. The 80 spacious air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms are decorated in a fine contemporary manner, and are fitted with excellent modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.
For large groups and families, St Mellion also has the Fairway Lodges, which range from one to five bedrooms, and are surrounded by the resort's golf courses. The lodges are within easy reach of the clubhouse, and guests can eat at the Brasserie if the exertion of cooking is too much after a day on the course. Every house is spacious, and the expansive living area provides the warmth and style that are perfect for a sociable golf break.
The Leisure Club includes a 25-metre swimming pool, leisure pool, sauna, steam room and spa pool, while racquet sport enthusiasts can also use the tennis and squash courts. St Mellion's health spa and beauty salon has fully trained staff to guarantee total relaxation, with signature treatments including facials, manicures, pedicures and massages.
Overlooking the Nicklaus Course's 18th green, St Mellion's An Boesti Restaurant creates innovative cuisine using the best locally sourced West Country produce.
The Bewdern Bar & Brasserie is a warm and informal choice for a meal, snack or drink throughout the day.
The Nicklaus Golfer's Bar is the perfect 19th hole, featuring a wide-screen TV and a barbeque terrace.
