TGG verdict: The Point is most valuable as an intelligent North Cornwall base rather than a one-off trophy round. It offers straightforward visitor access, enough practice infrastructure to prepare properly, useful on-site recovery facilities and an excellent position between St Enodoc, Rock, Polzeath and the wider north coast.
Why The Point fits the modern golf trip
The Point sits just above the Camel Estuary near Rock and Daymer Bay. The club describes the 18-hole course as a parkland layout with a coastal backdrop, measuring just under 6,300 yards from the back tees. That combination makes it a more relaxed proposition than the classic dune links nearby, but still sufficiently exposed for wind and changing conditions to matter.
Its real strength is flexibility. Visitors, members and societies are welcome, both 9- and 18-hole tee times can be booked, and there is no handicap-certificate requirement for normal visitor play. For a golfer building a multi-course trip, that makes The Point especially useful around harder-to-secure tee times elsewhere.
Course intelligence: how to use the round
- Use it as a rhythm round. If St Enodoc or Trevose is the headline booking, The Point can sit before or between them without making the trip feel over-scheduled.
- Check the wind before the first tee. The course is parkland in character but the coastal setting can change club selection and carry.
- Warm up properly. A covered four-bay range, outdoor tees and dedicated short-game areas make it easier to arrive prepared rather than using the first few holes as practice.
- Choose 9 or 18 to suit the itinerary. The availability of both formats is valuable on arrival and departure days.
- Do not rely on a cached green-fee number. The club uses seasonal and time-based pricing and advises golfers to check the current online booking system for the best availability and rate.
Visitor access and practical planning
The Point states that visitors are always welcome and that the course is open to all abilities without a handicap certificate, although normal golf etiquette is expected. Tee times can be booked online; resident rates, junior tee times, county-card rounds and bookings more than 14 days ahead are handled through the Golf Office.
Clubs, buggies and both electric and push trolleys are available to hire. During busier periods, pre-book equipment rather than assuming availability on arrival.
Practice before you play
The Point has more useful pre-round infrastructure than many small coastal courses: a four-bay covered driving range, additional outdoor tees, putting and short-game areas. For a North Cornwall swing, that makes it a sensible place to recalibrate yardages after travel or work on a lower ball flight before moving on to more exposed links golf.
Stay · Play · Recover
Stay
The Point’s accommodation business offers self-catering properties in and around Polzeath, Rock and Daymer Bay, including options close to the golf facilities. Staying locally can reduce the amount of driving required across a multi-round trip and keeps restaurants, beaches and non-golf time within the same area.
Play
The most natural companions are St Enodoc and Trevose Golf & Country Club. The Point itself notes St Enodoc is only a couple of miles away and Trevose around a 30-minute drive, giving North Cornwall one of the easiest three-course clusters in the region.
Recover
The Health Club gives The Point a genuine recovery role rather than a token “spa” label. Current facilities include a fully equipped gym, 18-metre indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and eucalyptus steam room, plus yoga, spin, TRX and circuit classes. For golfers, the useful approach is simple: light mobility, an easy swim and heat recovery after the round rather than another hard training session.
Build a North Cornwall Course Swing
- Arrival day: 9 holes at The Point or a range-and-short-game session.
- Day 1: St Enodoc Church Course.
- Day 2: The Point at Polzeath — full 18 holes, followed by Health Club recovery.
- Day 3: Trevose Championship Course.
- Optional extension: add a rest morning, local coastal walk or second easy round rather than forcing 36 holes into every day.
This is editorial trip planning, not a packaged holiday. Secure the hardest tee times first, then fit The Point around them.
Who The Point suits best
- Mixed-ability groups: no handicap certificate required for normal visitor play.
- Couples and families: golf sits alongside pool, gym, tennis, padel, dining and local beaches.
- Serious golf travellers: useful as the flexible connector between St Enodoc and Trevose.
- Short-break golfers: 9-hole availability makes arrival and departure days more productive.
