St Enodoc Golf Club

St Enodoc sits on Cornwall's dramatic northern coast and is home to one of the finest links courses in the South West. If you're looking at a Cornwall golf break, this is one that genuinely lives up to the hype, with pedigree dating back to 1888 and views across the Camel Estuary towards Padstow that make every round feel like something special.

You come here for the Church Course, plain and simple. It has staged plenty of notable amateur championships over the years and it still feels like a proper test every time you tee it up. The course takes its name from the 13th-century St Enodoc Church, half-buried in the dunes beside the 10th fairway, and the routing winds through big dunes, tight valleys and exposed plateaus where the wind decides the shot and your scorecard. The signature hole is the par-3 6th, known as Himalaya, where the tee shot is played blind over a massive dune to a green you can't see from the tee. It's a proper adrenaline shot, but you'll want a committed swing.

Alongside the Church Course, St Enodoc offers the Holywell Course, a shorter, more forgiving 18 holes that still delivers proper links character without the same severity. With two 18-hole options on site, it's an easy win for a weekend with mates, especially if you want a tougher morning round on the Church Course then something more relaxed at Holywell in the afternoon.
