LOOE GOLF CLUB Welcome 05
OUR COURSE Looe Golf Club was established in 1935. The course was designed by the legendary six times Open champion, Harry Vardon. It is a heath and parkland course commanding panoramic views of the Cornish coast and countryside.
The 18-hole course measuring 5,940 yards is constructed around Bin Down which is a high point for the area and as a result has some truly spectacular views. It provides an excellent test of golf for all abilities from beginners to established golfers.
Visitors are always welcome at Looe and can be assured of a testing round of golf, with the wind playing a major role in whether you have a good round or not.
On completion of your round, retreat to the bar to enjoy a drink whilst you dissect your game with fellow golfers or take in a bar snack or meal prepared by our in house caterers.

LITTLE MAINSTONE
Built around the end of the 19th century, Little Mainstone is perfectly located at the water’s edge on the quayside at West Looe. It looks straight across the tidal harbour that separates the quieter West Looe from the bustling waterfront and sandy beach of East Looe. Under a hundred yards away is the seven arched bridge that joins the twin communities which have shared the fishing, trading and seafaring life for centuries. All bedrooms are attractively furnished and have en-suite shower, toilet and washbasin, together with central heating, colour TV, radio alarm and tea and coffee making facilities. All front rooms enjoy magnificent harbour views and all guests are served a generous full English breakfast in the very pretty dining room.
Little Mainstone is unique amongst Looe’s harbour side hotels and guesthouses in offering on-site parking. With plenty of quality restaurants within walking distance, fishing trips from the quay, numerous walks in the surrounding countryside and only a 5 minute drive from Looe Golf Club, it really is a venue that is hard to better.
CORNISH COLLECTION
Cornish Collection offers a selection of over 60 self-catering properties in and around the ancient fishing port of Looe. All the properties are star graded by Visit Britain and range from a cosy cottage for two through elegant waterfront apartments to large seafront homes sleeping twelve. Looe Golf Club is within two to five miles of the properties and there are many other fine courses in Cornwall within an hour’s drive. For non golfers excellent beaches are close at hand as are opportunities for riding, tennis, water-sports, sailing and boating.
