Upon arriving at Constantine Bay, one cannot help but turn their attention to a gnawing 27-hole golf club that unwittingly, has become the town’s main attraction. And why won’t they? This is after all a course built by none other than Harry Colt, who was instrumental in helping Bobby Jones with the creation of one familiar name, Augusta National.
But what Colt had was magical. Cornwall, along the England’s south-eastern coastline, provides a breath-taking view of linksland at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and is surrounded by seven glorious sandy beaches, all within a mile of the first tee. As with all true links the wind is always a major factor and means that no two days are ever the same at this magnificent course.
The location means that golf is available throughout the year and maintained to the highest possible standard for anyone who visits. This has led to Trevose being selected to host some major events in recent years including The Brabazon Trophy (2008), The McGregor Trophy (2012), and the English Men’s County Finals (2017).
The first hole at Trevose Golf and Country Club is long – 440 yards from the men’s tee - but the fairway is generous, as long as a right-handed hook or left-handed slice can be avoided (you can’t have everything). From a raised tee right in front of the clubhouse, golfers usually have a quiet audience of at least one or two souls to ensure that the opening strike is shrouded by healthy, sporting tension. In all of British golf, there can be little that is more satisfying than driving the ball down the middle from the first at Trevose.
