Golf in Cornwall & the South West

Clifftop links, coastal parkland and a region where golf, food, spa and the Atlantic Ocean combine in a way found nowhere else in England.

Coastal LinksScenic GolfGolf BreaksStay · Play · Recover

Cornwall and the South West offer a golf experience unlike anywhere else in England — courses perched on clifftops, fairways threading between ancient stone walls, and views across the Atlantic that make even a missed putt feel inconsequential. The region’s growing reputation for food, boutique hotels and destination spa retreats makes it a natural Golf & Spa Break destination, particularly for those travelling with partners who want more than golf from a trip away.
