There are challenges and enjoyment for every golfer as each of the three courses blend effortlessly into the natural and unique landscape. The experience of playing here is certainly enhanced by the North Cornish coastline with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, wide sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs.

The "Championship Course" was originally laid out by the internationally renowned Harry Colt and is a true test of golfing skill. With its Links origins a different course is guaranteed everyday, punishing bad shots but rewarding the good. With traditionally quick greens all year round, quality golf is available twelve months of the year.

The "Headland Course" is the ideal alternative if the Championship Course is busy or you would like a quiet nine holes on your own. Opened in 1995 by Peter Alliss with a par of 35, this course is a good test with a challenging layout and fast greens.

The "Short Course" was built in 1965 and is available for beginners, juniors or those wanting to refine their short game. A beautifully laid out course runs around streams, over hills and detours past the ruins of the 5th century Roman Church and the 2nd century St. Constantine's Well, which was still in use until 1568

From London the quickest route is M4 to Bristol, M5 to Exeter, and then as follows. (From other destinations in the U.K. make for Exeter by whichever motorway is convenient.)

Take the M5 to Exeter. Turn onto the A30 and head west on the dual carriageway. Approximately five miles after passing Bodmin take a right turn signposted to RAF St Mawgan. After three miles take a roundabout exit to Wadebridge (A39). At the next roundabout follow the sign to Padstow (B3274). After three miles take a left turn to St Merryn (you can smell the salt in the air by now). In the village turn left at the crossroads and then six hundred yards later where you see the sign for Trevose Golf and Country Club turn right.
