Kernow Resort Course

The Kernow Course at St Mellion delivers an enjoyable, scoreable round that’s ideal for mixed-handicap groups on a Cornwall golf break. Playing to a par 70 and measuring just over 5,300 yards from the back tees, it puts the emphasis on placement, smart angles and a tidy short game rather than brute length.

Fairways are generally more forgiving, but bunkers, natural swales and several water features keep you honest — particularly on the back nine where risk-reward decisions appear more frequently. Greens are typically spacious and receptive, making it a great second-round option for societies or anyone looking to play well and keep the pace moving. Friendly, varied and well presented, the Kernow is a very satisfying resort course.
