West Cornwall Golf Club

Cornwall

Course overview

Built around the sand dunes of Porthkidney, West Cornwall Golf Club offers panoramic views from almost every hole. The oldest course in the Duchy, the course runs 5,847 yards along the banks of the River Hayle and the cliff tops that overlook St Ives Bay.

Due to its location, the course can largely change depending on the wind, meaning you may never have the same experience twice, this coupled with the stunning location, makes this Cornwall links a must-visit!

Regularly ranking well inside Cornwall’s top 10 courses, West Cornwall is the definition that length does not always define the quality of a course. Over the years the course has produced some truly magnificent golfers, including “Long” Jim Barnes, a 4-time major winner!

This wonderful links is a firm favourite of the Cornwall golf tour and regularly paired with the likes of Perranporth, Mullion, Tehidy Park and Newquay to produce a simply unforgettable golf break!

The local area

West Cornwall Golf Club is situated on the outskirts of one of Cornwall's most beautiful towns, St Ives. This idyllic town is situated on the North coast, overlooking St Ives Bay and further out towards the Atlantic Ocean, and boasts beautiful beaches and a quaint harbour for summer evenings. If you feel the need to venture further, Penzance, Cornwall's most westerly major town, is just a short drive away. As is the portreath heritage coast, lying to the north of St Ives, is the perfect place to enjoy a daytime walk through Cornwall's natural beauty.

Managing a group can be a thankless task and changes to the group leading up to your break are an accepted element. We make changes as stress free as possible (just see our reviews for evidence of this!). Changes can be made up to 6 weeks prior to your break. Some changes are unavoidable so for legitimate reasons we will endeavour to make last minute changes after this period, but as we would have paid our venues at this point, this would be at the discretion of the venue(s) you are visiting.
