St Austell Golf Club

Just minutes from Cornwall's stunning south coast, St Austell Golf Club offers classic parkland golf with a friendly, members' club welcome. Influenced by the legendary James Braid, this 18-hole par-69 rewards smart positioning and tidy iron play rather than brute length.

Set in open countryside, the layout mixes tighter doglegs with more generous holes where you can open your shoulders. Elevated greens and subtle slopes mean approaches need a bit of thought, especially if the wind gets up. It's usually presented in very tidy condition, with quick greens in season and fairways that encourage you to hit driver when the hole allows. It's a fair test for mixed-ability groups and a great option if you want a strategic round that won't beat you up.

Off the course, the 10-bay floodlit Toptracer driving range is ideal for a warm-up, a post-round nearest-the-pin challenge or an evening session under the lights.

St Austell also works brilliantly as a mid-tour stop in Cornwall. You're within easy reach of Newquay, Perranporth, Trevose, St Enodoc and St Mellion Resort, so it's easy to build variety into the week. If you're stitching together a Cornwall itinerary, we can slot St Austell in with nearby favourites and line up tee times that keep travel simple.
