TGG verdict: Trevose earns its place in a North Cornwall golf trip because it combines a serious Harry Colt championship course with unusually useful stay-on-site infrastructure. It is not simply a round to collect: it can be the logistical anchor around which St Enodoc, The Point and the rest of the north coast are planned.

Why Trevose matters

The Championship Course opened in 1925 and was designed by Harry Colt. The current course measures 6,948 yards and plays to par 72. Its two halves have different personalities: the opening nine makes the strongest use of the dunes and coastline, while the back nine moves farther inland before returning towards the clubhouse.

That variety is important. Trevose is often described simply as a coastal links, but the round asks for more than one type of shot. Wind, elevation change, firmer running ground and the transition inland all affect club selection. The best first-time strategy is to resist the urge to chase a score from the opening tee and instead learn how the course is moving that day.

Course intelligence: how to play Trevose

Check the wind before you leave the range. The exposed opening holes can change dramatically with direction and strength.
Use width intelligently. Some landing areas look generous, but the value lies in finding the side that opens the preferred angle into the green.
Do not confuse visibility with safety. A clear-looking line can still leave an awkward second shot if it finishes on the wrong side of the fairway.
Let the ground help. When conditions are firm, landing the ball short and using release can be more reliable than attacking every flag through the air.
Protect energy for the closing stretch. Trevose can be physically and mentally taxing in wind; a North Cornwall trip is better when the Championship Course is treated as the main round of the day rather than one half of an unnecessary 36-hole schedule.

2026 visitor access and green fees

Trevose welcomes visitors throughout the year, subject to the club diary, course availability and member-only starting times. Current published 2026 Championship Course fees vary by season and date rather than operating as one fixed annual price.

2026 period	Championship Course visitor fee
January–February	£75
March	£85
April	£100–£115
May–September	£140–£150
October	£120–£130
November–22 December	£75
23 December–2 January 2027	£95

These are the club’s published 2026 rates at the time of our check and are subject to change. Confirm the live rate and tee-time availability directly with Trevose before building accommodation or travel around a specific slot.

Practice and preparation

Trevose has a useful practice set-up for travelling golfers: an eight-bay covered Toptracer range, outdoor practice options, a short-game area, a nine-hole putting green, two further practice greens with bunkers and a practice net. The Performance Centre adds PGA coaching and launch-monitor work.

For a first Championship Course round, use the range for three things rather than trying to rebuild your swing: establish the day’s wind, find a reliable lower-flight tee shot and confirm wedge carry numbers. That preparation is more useful than chasing speed before an exposed round.

Headland and Short Course: useful trip tools

The Headland Course is a nine-hole layout created by Peter Alliss in 1993, playing at roughly 3,000 yards and par 35 per nine. The Short Course is also nine holes, par 29 and around 1,360 yards. Both operate on a roll-up, pay-and-play basis rather than requiring the same tee-time planning as the Championship Course.

That makes them valuable in a golf itinerary. Use them for arrival-day golf, family or mixed-ability play, a low-intensity evening round, or as a substitute for a second full 18 when recovery matters more than adding another scorecard.

Stay · Play · Recover

Stay

Trevose offers multiple on-site accommodation formats, including Fairway Lodges, Trehuel Apartments, Dormy Apartments, Fairway Cottage and bungalows. The strongest reason to stay on the property is logistical: early golf, practice, food and recovery can all be organised without another transfer.

Play

Trevose works naturally with St Enodoc and The Point at Polzeath. The contrast is stronger than simply choosing three courses close to one another: St Enodoc brings classic dune-and-estuary shotmaking, The Point offers flexible visitor golf and recovery infrastructure, while Trevose supplies the longer championship anchor and the easiest stay-on-site model.

Recover

The resort currently promotes a heated outdoor pool in season, spa treatments, tennis and padel alongside its broader leisure offer. The club has also been developing a new gym and fitness studio during summer 2026; because facility launch dates can move, confirm current access directly with the resort before making it part of a fixed itinerary.

For golf recovery, keep the plan simple: rehydrate, eat properly, use light mobility and easy pool work, and avoid turning the evening after a demanding links round into another hard training session.

Build the North Cornwall Course Swing

Arrival: Trevose Short Course, Headland Course or practice only.
Day 1: St Enodoc Church Course.
Day 2: The Point at Polzeath, followed by a lower-intensity recovery block.
Day 3: Trevose Championship Course.
Optional extension: add Perranporth only if the trip length and current tee-time availability justify another full round.

The correct order should be driven by the hardest tee time to secure. Book that first, then fit the more flexible rounds around it rather than starting with the hotel and forcing the golf to match.

Who Trevose suits best

Golf travellers: especially useful as the stay-on-site anchor in a multi-course North Cornwall trip.
Architecture-minded players: a chance to experience a Harry Colt routing in exposed coastal terrain.
Families and mixed groups: additional nine-hole golf, leisure and accommodation make the resort easier to use than a single-course members’ club.
Golf-and-recovery trips: the combination of Championship golf, shorter courses and on-site leisure creates flexibility without leaving the property after every round.
