Key Information

Championship Golf in Cornwall

St Mellion Estate sits just over the Devon–Cornwall border, making it one of the most accessible golf resorts in the South West. It’s best known for the Nicklaus-designed Kernow Course, a championship layout that’s hosted European Tour events and still feels every bit the serious test. Expect rolling fairways, raised greens, plenty of water, and holes that demand accuracy rather than brute force.

Alongside it is the Valley Course, shorter and more forgiving, ideal for a warm-up round or a more relaxed game. Together, they offer a good balance for mixed-ability groups. Accommodation is on site in a modern hotel with views across the estate. Rooms are comfortable rather than flashy, and everything you need is under one roof. Dining is straightforward and reliable, with options ranging from casual meals to sit-down dinners after golf.

Away from the course, you’re well placed for exploring Cornwall or popping into Plymouth, which is around 20 minutes away. That makes St Mellion a good base for golf-focused breaks that still leave room for evenings out, coastal trips, or a slower day off the course.

Key Information

Golf at St Mellion feels organised and professional without being stuffy. Course conditions are generally strong, especially on the Kernow Course, where greens and bunkering are taken seriously. It’s a challenging layout best suited to confident mid-to-low handicappers, though higher handicaps can still enjoy it with sensible tee choices.

Service across the resort is efficient and golfer-focused, with good practice facilities and easy access between hotel, clubhouse, and first tee. Having two courses on site adds flexibility, particularly for longer stays. The estate has hosted events on the European Tour, which shows in the course design and overall setup. It feels like a purpose-built golf resort rather than a hotel with a course attached.

This year it’s was time to try Portugal. What a fantastic trip we had, it was seamless from start to finish. A great hotel, lovely food and the service was second to none. The courses were amazing. All in all another fantastic golf tour. Now we need to decide on the venue for next year with the added bonus of knowing Phil will sort us out wherever we choose.

Very prompt response to our initial enquiry about our golf holiday. Came back later on the same day with a range of options. Lots of information, which made it so easy for us to make a group decision about all aspects of our holiday. Phone calls returned and polite, sociable and courteous staff.

Golf Travel Centre never disappoints...

Highly recommend Golf Travel Centre, this is going to be our third trip with them and it’s always so easy and stress free, I always book through Daniel who is always on hand to answer our group questions and is quick to reply. If you’re thinking of booking a golf trip give them a try.

Second year booking a trip

Second year booking a trip with with Dan at Golf Travel Centre. Really straightforward and happy with the price. We also had a couple of last minute changes on our first trip due to a flight issue and Dan sorted the transfers and managed to get the times amended at the last minute so overall a great service.

Why Play at St Mellion Estate?

For many golfers, the draw here is the quality of the golf combined with how easy the whole stay feels. The Kernow Course carries genuine championship pedigree and still delivers that tour level challenge, while the Valley Course keeps things relaxed and enjoyable. You can play serious golf in the morning, unwind in the afternoon, and be back in your room minutes later. The estate layout keeps everything close, which is ideal for longer golf breaks or group trips. Add in its handy location near Cornwall and Plymouth, and it’s easy to see why golfers return.
