St Enodoc Golf Club

Let’s begin with one of the top golf clubs in the UK, St Enodoc. Located just 8 miles from The Old House, play the championship links course, Church Course, or Holywell Course.

The Church Course provides 36 holes and stunning panoramas across the Camel Estuary, a striking backdrop for any game. With its challenging undulations, you’ll be pleasantly challenged during play.

The easier, Holywell Course, is a good option for beginner players. Still, you’ll be treated to postcard-worthy views!

Situated 7 miles away from The Olde House, near the village of Camelford, you’ll find Bowood Park. This course is set within 230 acres of parkland, right on the edge of Bodmin Moor. For history fans, this spot has plenty of intriguing stories to tell, and was once owned by the Black Prince in the 13th Century.

With 18 holes across a very well-kept course, you’ll also find amazing on-site facilities such as a driving range, putting green, pro shop, and welcoming clubhouse.
