The creation of St. Mellion is the result of vision and tenacity. Home to a truly championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus with the brief to build the best course in Europe and, as Jack has said, it’s “potentially the world's greatest galleried golf course”. |
The resort, nestled deep in the idyllic Cornish countryside, is home to two wonderful courses -the famous Nicklaus Course and the Old Course, both well worth playing. It has been described as the Augusta of Cornwall and one of the few places in Britain where there is a distinct possibility of bumping into Jack himself.
The championship course has all the hallmarks of Jack Nicklaus that can be found at Mount Juliet in Ireland to Gleneagles in Scotland further enhanced by the natural beauty that is unmistakably Cornish. The Resort also contains a luxury hotel with state of the art leisure facilities.
From 1990 hosted the Benson & Hedges European Tour Event 6 times |

| Description |
The choice of courses in England is almost endless for the discerning golf visitor. There are mighty seaside links such as those of Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake,where the Amateur Championship was born and where Bobby Jones won the Open Championship in his historic Grand Slam year of 1930. There is plenty of historic interest in English golf, with the oldest existing course in England and Westward Ho in Devon. The club was formed there in 1864 and today sheep continue to grace the ancient links on this common land. |
