Cornish Golfing Special
Featuring The Stunning Course At
LAUNCESTON GOLF CLUB Cornwall, Devon and Somerset are home to some of the finest golf courses in the UK, often set in the most picturesque locations. Golf was first played in the county of Cornwall in 1889 with the Cornwall Golf Union being founded two years later in 1901. The first golf club across the Cornish border, was Launceston Golf Club which is close to both the north and south coasts of the county. The county of Cornwall forms the most south westerly region of the UK and boasts some of the most enchanting coastal scenery in England. The early golf courses of the region were developed on the outskirts of the quaint fishing villages which are full of character.
Later golf courses were developed along the coast, using the amazing backdrop of the Cornish coast and golden sandy beaches to entice golfers from around the country. Many golf courses were developed on arable land, converting farm buildings to develop clubhouse facilities and gaining planning permission to transform the grassy fields of the Cornish countryside into the golf courses that can be enjoyed today. Add to the wonderful setting, some of the best and most scenic links courses in the country, packed full of character and charm - you have an opportunity for a golf holiday that will live long in the memory.
Some of the greatest golf course architects have had a hand in the design and development of Cornwall’s links golf courses including the legendary James Braid and Dr. Alister MacKenzie. Home to England’s most southerly-tip, Land’s End, Cornwall has a reputation for fine food and delicacies such as the world famous Cornish pasty. The region also has a reputation as a fantastic destination for golf breaks with the coastal towns and cities of Falmouth, St Ives, Newquay and St Austell all featuring breath-taking scenery and a littering of beautifully maintained, must-play golf courses.
One of England’s most beautiful counties, Cornwall is a wonderful place to visit whether playing golf or visiting with the family. Sites of historical importance, large green open spaces, the many festivals and cultural activities on offer all make Cornwall a haven for holiday-makers.
