Golf Courses at St Mellion Estate

St Mellion is arguably the premier golfing destination in the South-West, boasting two championship courses, and has welcomed the European Tour's elite on no less than six occasions for the Benson and Hedges International.

Nicklaus Course

Opened in 1987, the Nicklaus Course at St Mellion was the Golden Bear's first project in the UK, and to this day Jack rates it as one of his best creations. The £2.5 million investment now complete was overseen by the Nicklaus design team.

From the championship tee markers the course measures 7,019 yards and is a thorough examination, but there are tees to suit golfers of all abilities. The Nicklaus is typical of its designer's architectural ethos, with a premium being placed on finding the correct position from the elevated tees in order to attack the flags. Inaccuracy will be punished severely by the strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards around this South-Western gem.

Did you know?  Jack Nicklaus speaks highly of his design, going as far as to say St Mellion is 'potentially the finest golf course in Europe'.

Kernow Course

Formerly known as the Old Course, St Mellion's Kernow is often in the shadow of Jack Nicklaus' creation next door, but it is a fine championship layout in its own right. Though not particularly long by modern standards - the Kernow measures 5,782 yards - there is no shortage of challenge and intrigue.

A major face-lift has seen the addition of new lakes and bunkers, plus some totally rebuilt putting surfaces. Spectacular scenery surrounds the course, whose highlights include the short 12th, where the green is guarded closely by water, and the memorable par-4 closing hole which demands two excellent strikes.

Accommodation at St Mellion Estate

The St Mellion International Resort's 4* hotel is the star of the £20 million project, and is situated conveniently next to the clubhouse, and provides extremely comfortable hospitality for a golf break. The 80 spacious air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms are decorated in a fine contemporary manner, and are fitted with excellent modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.

For large groups and families, St Mellion also has the Fairway Lodges, which range from one to five bedrooms, and are surrounded by the resort's golf courses. The lodges are within easy reach of the clubhouse, and guests can eat at the Brasserie if the exertion of cooking is too much after a day on the course. Every house is spacious, and the expansive living area provides the warmth and style that are perfect for a sociable golf break.

Food & Drink

Overlooking the Nicklaus Course's 18th green, St Mellion's An Boesti Restaurant creates innovative cuisine using the best locally sourced West Country produce. The Bewdern Bar & Brasserie is a warm and informal choice for a meal, snack or drink throughout the day. The Nicklaus Golfer's Bar is the perfect 19th hole, featuring a wide-screen TV and a barbeque terrace.

What a dump!! The room was absolutely filthy - the shower didn't work without scalding ourselves, twin beds not a double, the bathroom was disgraceful. The food (which was part of the "deal") was atrocious. We paid for 2 nights (left after one), paid for two breakfasts (didn't have any), paid for 2 evening meals (had one and then only two courses having sent back the first two courses), only played the Kernow course and didn't play the Nicklaus at all. We checked in at 1.30 on Tuesday and left at 6.30 the following morning. What an absolute rip-off and YGT need to take a good look at yourselves for advertising this disgraceful "resort" as a go to golfing experience. We will be seeking a refund.

I was shocked at this amount and I queried the bill at reception. After about 20 minutes waiting, the lady came back and the bill was revised to £1100. No explanation nor an apology was given what happened. As I was about to tee off, I could not wait for a reason and had to leave. Would appreciate an reason as if I did not query the bill, I would have charged my group a lot of money for no reason.

Hotel is tired, particularly the bathroom, which was tired, grout missing on floor tiles, and being a wetroom, this means the tiles are lifting off the floor, and the wooden bathroom door and door frame mouldy and rotting. Uncomfortable Small Single Bed in Twin rooms (e.g. Celtic Manor or Belfry offer oversized single or double beds). Bar undermanned (possible staffing issues?) so often had to wait to be served. Staff were polite and friendly, however, a couple had mentioned they didn’t enjoy working at St Mellion and were looking for (or had obtained) alternative employment - which to me, reflects the poor standard of St Mellion and the Management team. Pool and Sauna was open, but steam room, hot tub and spa were closed (defective???). Breakfast was average to poor (cheap quality sausages and bacon), lots of flies around the cereal, pastries and croissants area (no obvious blue zappy bug lights). Evening meals were to a good (bot great) standard but the menu was basic with 4 choices of starter/main/desert, but only 1 of these which was suitable for Vegetarians (not that I am, i’m just merely sharing my observation). Appreciate that Cornwall is a pain to get to (4-5hrs from London) but with so many alternate venues in the UK, there was nothing ‘special’ to warrant a return to the resort.

One group decided enough was enough & decided to go to local cafe. Bar staff on the evening had no idea, painfully slow. Pre booked electric trollies & received email confirming this, got there & no trollies booked for us. So our guys had to have a push trollies or buggy. Both golf courses however are just fantastic no complaints there. Courses 9/10 Service 2/10 Staff in isolation is not what anyone wants to hear. It just took the shine of a great trip.

We returned to St Mellion after previous tour 4 yrs ago. The golf and pro shop staff were very obliging and helpful. The courses were both in pretty good condition and as tough as ever! The actual hotel unfortunately was in our opinion below par and not a 4 star establishment. Uncomfortable beds that make premier Inns positively ultra deluxe. A la crate restaurant with shortages of wine on both nights and a disappointing menu taboot. We discussed with the management and a price adjustment was agreed. We will not be placing review on trip advisor as that is not our style. Like so many of my school reports read, Tries hard but so much potential left wanting Mr Stewart Barnett

Good resort hotel and able to take a booking where all the group wanted single rooms. Food excellent on both evenings served by attentive staff. Hotel needs better signage as it is so easy to get confused/lost around the complex.

Could not have asked for a better place to go. The hotel was immaculate, the staff friendly and helpful, the food delicious and the room (top floor overlooking the golf course) great. What more could you want. Just wish I had taken the swimsuit to enjoy the spa.

I would like to thank everyone at yourgolftravel.com for helping me organize our trip to St Mellion.

The Hotel was stunning and all the staff were very helpful indeed. The pro in the golf shop even gave us a tour of the place and gave us good advice on how you tackle the golf courses.

All twelve of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would love to return back one day to take on the Nicklaus course once more.

We would certainly recommend St Mellion to other golfers and would do so for all different size groups & societies.

We recently returned from our second visit to the St Mellion resort. This complex is a great place to visit whether you play golf or not, as there is plenty to do and see. The Kernow course is a lovely parkland course set in rolling countryside with great views. The quality of the fairways and greens is excellent and the course marshals ensure that the pace of play is never too slow. 

The Hotel is of a very high standard too, and prices are very reasonable compared to other resorts that I have stayed in. The service was excellent with friendly and speedy members of staff who never kept you waiting for food or drinks. The quality of food and variety meant that there was a choice for everyone, including veggie options. Unlike a few other resorts that we have visited there was not a separate menu for guests visiting on a golf holiday and very few supplements to pay.

I would certainly recommend a golf break at St Mellion and will be going back for a third visit hopefully later in the year.  10/10

St Mellion is a resort which we have wanted to try out for a few years. Now having now spent a weekend there, playing both courses during our stay, we were not disappointed. What a great venue!

It's well sign posted, so easy to find, the rooms are very clean and extremely comfortable, the staff at the venue are very friendly and helpful and the golf courses themselves are very well maintained and a good challenge to all levels of golfer. I would recommend buggies though as it is a very hilly course.

Food and drink is of a very good standard and at a reasonable price too.

Yourgolftravel sorted out the weekend for us and did a great job. We will be back. 10/10

I organised for 2 societies to go to St Mellion (32 people altogether) to play against each other on both the Kernow and Nicklaus courses. Overall the courses were in good condition although the tees on the Nicklaus were looking a bit tired.

The rooms were good and the food was good too and I didn't have any complaints from the lads. Unfortunately the cost of drinks in the bar was a bit steep, but after a few tend not to worry about it!

Members of staff in hotel and pro shop were friendly and helpful and all things considered, it's an ideal place for a weekend golf break.

Thanks to Your Golf Travel who managed to quickly get it all booked up. Overall everything ran smoothly and would recommend you to mates.

Julie and I really enjoyed our stay at St Mellion, where all the staff in the hotel and golf course were helpful and very friendly. The food was excellent too, with plenty of choice from the menu. The room was clean and comfortable and the leisure facilities were excellent.

The golf courses were also in excellent condition, especially the greens. The Nicklaus Course is superb and some of the holes are truly stunning. It is a stern test of golf and I would play it totally differently when I go back. It is more of plotting your way round type of course and at times frustrated me, but that was from not knowing the course. It is a tough walk, but I did not see the benefit of a buggy as they have to stick to the cart paths on the Nicklaus course.   

We were lucky to have fantastic weather but I would love to go back as the whole experience was superb.
