AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
St Mellion offers 36 holes of championship-quality golf. Both the Nicklaus and the Kernow golf courses have recently been renovated to a fantastic standard, and provide an enjoyable and challenging round for all players.
St Mellion International Resort offer two 18 hole championship-standard golf courses.
The Kernow Course (St Mellion International Resort)
Opened in 1976, the Kernow golf course measures just under 6,000 yards, but don't let the lack of length deceive you. This championship-standard track has many holes that will test the best golfer, including the long par 4 third, which can only be reached with two good shots. The 12th is another cracking hole: an excellent par 3, it requires a carry over a picturesque lake.
18 Holes, Par 68, Yardage 5782. Parkland.

The Nicklaus Course (St Mellion International Resort)
Officially opened in 1988, this top layout was the first golf course to be designed by the Golden Bear in Europe. The classic Nicklaus traits of elevated tees, numerous water hazards and the need for good golf course strategy are very evident throughout the 7,019 yard layout. Renowned as one of the UK's best spectator golf courses, many of the manicured fairways are lined by banks and the beautifully conditioned greens have been constructed to a special American specification that produces excellent surfaces.
18 Holes, Par 72, Yardage 7019. Parkland with lakes.
