A very interesting place
Reviewed November 2, 2022
For us as HCP 30.9 & 35 it was the first time that we played such a links course.
Very challenging because the lanes are very close together and sometimes you can't tell which lane you are on.
Furthermore, the partial blind shots on the tracks are another challenge.
It's interesting if you don't hit hole 8 (blindshot) correctly, you can play through the adjacent graveyard.
An additional highlight of this place is the train, which drives past the place every 15 minutes and can wave to the passengers on the train at tee 11.
All in all a very nice place.

Grandiose view
Reviewed June 22, 2019
I (Hcp 11,5) played the course with my wife (Hcp 15,5).
Greenfee 40 pounds, e-trolley 10 pounds. The condition of the fairways was good, the greens very good (good track and not too fast) but just a typical left course with z. Tl. Higher rough. We bought a Birdie Book for safety, which was worth it because the descriptions of the tracks were quite simple. In addition, some tracks had to be played blind. A nice challenge.
Outstanding is the location of the place overlooking the water, just fantastic (especially in the sun), especially interesting the church and the cemetery, both sometimes only meters away. Lovely also the train, which drives like the Hogwart Express on the edge of the place.
The big downside are the tracks that are parallel or even intersect, or where the greens are in possible tee-offs. This increasingly clouded the fun and the concentration on their own game has increasingly suffered.
In summary, it was a great day of golf in an environment and topography that you do not find every day.
And Remember: the place is the oldest in Cornwall: from 1895!!

Railways too close together, very confusing
Reviewed June 12, 2019
As already described, it does not make much fun to play here, even if the view is nice at one or the other fairway.
There are more beautiful golf courses in Cornwall.

Beautiful views...
Reviewed March 12, 2018
But unfortunately, the tracks are really dangerous close together. That does not really fun despite great views and great weather, unfortunately...

Frustrating
Reviewed June 17, 2016
The location of the golf course is undisputed beautiful and imposing, if you could enjoy it because accordingly. Unfortunately, hanging and unrepentant fairways turbid strongly the golfing pleasure. The balls are usually very remote from the place where they are believed often drifted over several fairways away. The risk of being caught by ricochets, is great; the tracks run very close together.
All in all a rather FRIS trier forming as an edifying experience.

Beautiful, dangerous - beautiful dangerous
Reviewed June 1, 2014
A typical links course, which does have its appeal. In addition to pure playing pleasure the beautiful views of St Ives etc. are worth mentioning. On the other hand, the holes are laid out very confusing and sometimes quite dangerous because the same cross several lanes. Practically on every hole you need to take or endanger their own, not quite toe the party line beats other golfers or walkers beware of ricochets. The 18 holes were created on something very small space. We were fortunate that we were able to play with a member, so we had a welcome guide here. The club house looks from the outside not so attractive, is from the inside but it was okay. The pro shop is equipped excellent!

Beautiful location - unique golfing experience
Reviewed July 30, 2012
This place deserves 5 stars. Over 100 years old and still in top form, and in a fantastic location. Typical links course, very challenging with the wind. Since crossing fairways and public ways must be focused and played with caution. Investing in a birdie-book paid for itself and is recommended. Of every hole fantastic views of the bay of St Ives and to St. Ives. The price-performance ratio is great, 37 pounds during the week or 121 pounds for a 5-day ticket! The club house is simple, but the staff are friendly, attentive and the food just right after a strenuous 18 holes. Certainly one of the most beautiful places in Cornwall. (Played in July 2012)

A great links course
Reviewed September 19, 2011
A true links course that has it all. With westerly winds, the tracks are playing much longer than it seems. Course length is approximately 5900 yds (white) is not very long, but very hilly, undulating and often playing against the wind. Hole 1, Par 3 goes directly to on an old, well-preserved church. Often the dunes and beaches, partly to see to St. Ives. A great view can be enjoyed from the bay of Green 9 Lelant and Hayle. The most beautiful green is the 16 and the 17 reduction with a view over the entire golf course, Lelant and the coast, weather just great to look at.
The club house offers good food and is typically British established. It is placed on proper clothing value. Greenfee (Sept. 2011) 42.00 ₤
