What they say. There can be no greater recommendation for any establishment than from it's customers, so the visitors book at St Kew provided a rich source of information. "Very good course with friendly members and staff"......"Marvellous greens and tees"......"The best nine hole course I have played on"......"We will be back on our next visit to Cornwall"......"A smashing course and the greens are exceptional" The comments speak for themselves. |
St Kew Golf Course is set in attractive flattish parkland and is proving popular with the seniors and
ladies among the 300 strong membership. It is a genuine pay and play course with
six bay driving range that has become an attraction to holiday visitors staying
in North Cornwall. St Kew Golf Course is ideal for golfers with families who
feel a duty to remain with their children during the main part of the day, yet
want to play early morning golf. The club also caters for golfers who want to
split their rounds. The cost is £10 for 9 holes and £15 for 18. So if someone plays
9in the morning and fancies another 9 in the evening they can return for the
second half later. St Kew is an undulating, easy to walk course set in beautiful countryside overlooking the
Camel Estuary. The
gentle slopes and good sand based greens constructed to USGA standards offer
a challenge to both experienced and novice golfers alike. The many new plantations
created at the construction stage are now well on their way to full maturity.
Skilful use was made of the existing hedges, ponds and ditches. The whole
course is well manicured and maintained. A patio, shrubbery and putting green
in front of the clubhouse, beside the first and ninth green, are further features.
The neat clubhouse features a pro's shop for Nick Rogers, a snack bar where
meals are available all day, a comfortable lounge area and good changing facilities.
Much attention has been paid to detail and the care that has clearly gone
in to the planning, design and maintenance makes St Kew Golf Course a perfect
place to play on a visit to the Duchy.

The eighteen holes feature ten par fours, ranging from 247 to 441 yards and
eight testing par threes. |

The Course.
The first hole is a straightforward par 4 with a gully to the left of a gently sloping fairway. The second is a pleasant par 3 followed by one of the feature holes measuring 306 yards with
ponds either side of the fairway. The fourth is a downhill par 3 where nearest the
pin awards are always made. A miss hit tee shot invariably sends the ball into
the large left bunker. The fifth has out of bounds to the right and an attractively faced pond to
the right of the green. Behind the green and in front of the medal tee for the sixth hole lurks the irrigation pond. Two bunkers guard the sixth while the seventh has three sand traps to catch the unwary. The eighth is a long par 4 but, when used as the 17th for a Medal,
the
distant tee makes the hole virtually a par 5 of approaching 450 yards. The
final hole works back to the clubhouse and patio close to St Kew Highway.
