St Enodoc Golf Club on the North Cornwall coast overlooks the Camel Estuary, with Padstow on the far side, and to the North out across the Atlantic. The location on the high sand dunes is ideal for golf combined with stunning sea views.

Golfing Church

St Enodoc's Church course is a James Braid design that enjoys a justified reputation as one of the West Country's finest links layouts. Though in many ways, St. Enodoc remains somewhat of a hidden gem, it has still developed a fine reputation as one of the most natural, romantically charming links in Great Britain. Though certain changes have been made over the years, it is a tribute to Braid's vision and skill that golfers still essentially experience the links as it was originally laid out

Over 100 years young

It is said that golf was first played on a part of the present course by a party of undergraduates in 1888. Their efforts were confined to the area round the church of St Enodoc and Daymer Bay. In 1889 a number of local gentlemen laid out a few holes amongst the massive dunes at Rock, and as their enthusiasm increased they formed in 1890 St. Enodoc Golf Club. In 1907 James Braid laid out a full 18 hole course and in 1937 the present clubhouse with new access road from Rock was opened in time for the English Ladies' Close Championship.

Over the years the club has hosted many top amateur events; including the English Ladies Amateur Championships in 1993 and 2002 and the English Counties Championship in 1989 and again in September 2005. 

Mountain to climb!

Here you will find a landscape of huge sandhills, one of which, called the 'Himalayas', was called by the great Bernard Darwin “the highest sandhill, to the best of my belief, I have ever seen on a golf course". The links is truly old-fashioned, with tiny, hidden pot bunkers, rolling and undulating fairways, blind shots, and the requisite firm and fast greens.
