What the experts say..........
The newly designed Kernow course opened in June 2010 and now once more merits a place in the upper tier of European 36-hole golf resorts. With 9 brand new holes, and nine of the best from the original European tour hosting Old Course. This comprehensive par-70 course is now a wonderful compliment to the mighty Nicklaus Signature Course which also winds around St Mellion's spectacular wooded valleys.
With stunning views and eight brand new USGA-spec greens, the Kernow Course has been created to give golfers a highly enjoyable experience. It is longer than the Resort’s original Old Course with many new tees and trees to provide a fresh golfing challenge which while more benign than the Nicklaus still has teeth of its own.
Standout holes include the new 1st, a tricky par-5, which demands an accurate first tee shot of the day. The new 6th is also the hardest on the course and features an unusual approach to the green over a traditional Cornish hedge. There is a brand new sequence of holes to start the back nine, where the 10th, 11th and 12th, while relatively short, all ask golfers to make a series of exciting risk-and-reward decisions. But not all is brand new - the picturesque all-or-nothing par-3 14th hole, an old favourite featuring a drop shot across a lake which still adds its charm to the latter part to the round.
Comments from Today's Golfer 2010 - Kernow Course voted 4th in 2nd best courses pole ahead of Celtic Manor, Forest of Arden and The Belfry.
