Trevose Golf & Country Club sits on Cornwall's north coast, right above Constantine Bay, and I'll be honest, the views can be as distracting as they are inspiring. It's one of the South West's best all-round golf bases, with 36 holes on site, proper links conditions and enough off-course kit to keep everyone happy between rounds.
The main draw is the Championship Course, a firm, windswept links that runs out towards Trevose Head and back. If the breeze is up (and it often is), you'll need to keep the ball down, pick sensible lines and accept that par is a very good score on a few holes. The two nine-hole loops give you options for a shorter hit, a warm-up round or a second game on the same day without repeating yourself.
What I like about Trevose is how easy it is for travelling golfers. It feels like a real club rather than a members-only fortress, so groups can just get on with the important stuff: good golf, a decent post-round pint and a comfortable bed within a few minutes' walk. And if you fancy a change of scene, Padstow is only three miles away, home to Rick Stein's collection of restaurants, brasseries and cafés.
Who is this for? Golfers who want authentic Cornwall links golf with on-site accommodation and plenty to do off the course.
Who is it best for? Societies and groups planning multi-round weekends, couples who like a golf-first break with leisure options and anyone after a top links test without the stuffy vibe.
