Mawgan Porth Golf Club

Unless you can book the first tee, I couldn’t possible endorse going to Mawgan Porth, formerly Melin Golf Course.

While the course is nice, though left to rot in winter, the pace of play has been an issue for the 5.5 years I’ve been attending.

As my my local course, and as a former member, it’s thoroughly disappointing that this has been refused to be attempted to be remedied. I received slopey shoulders the last time I asked if there was anything planned to speed up the pace of play. Again, disappointing as it’s under new ownership.

The previous owners refused to add it to the AGM list when I suggested it. I, and several friends, have not renewed memberships.

My last experience contained 49 minutes of wait time on the first 9 holes.

My previous 18 holes took over 5 hours to complete, waiting behind people smoking in buggies, driving in buggies but slowly waiting for their mate who was walking, following each others balls instead of finding their own, continuous searching for balls without waving groups through, and even walking back down the course.

The course was extremely well presented with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Greens were quick, fairways well maintained and rough challenging.

The course was closed when I got there.

A wasted journey.

I need my fees returning please

Better course than I expected, a really good challenge and would certainly like to go back and play. Lots and lots of rain recently but the course and greens in good shape and playable everywhere.

This is a really fun course to play. Short par 3 to start, which settles your nerves. My favourite hole had to be the 10th which is a par 5 dog leg left. Great chance to knock some shots off there.

Course has a few areas that need repairing, nothing that hinders play. But they do look a bit messy.

Challenging hillside course with very unforgiving rough expect to loose at few balls here.

The course was fun enough for under £25 but I wouldn’t pay more than that. It’s my third time playing here and the greens were better than before the summer when they were terrible. I do wish players would repair there pitch marks very lazy and disrespectful.

The course played well and greens were true the other let down besides the pitch marks were the tee boxes grass was way too long.

For these reasons Iv marked down but I would play again

Great course, fabulous views. Some challenging par 3’s.

I have played this course four times and never tire of the views. The course has a nice variety of holes and some tough par 3’s, especially when the wind blows. Easy to get to, good parking and friendly staff. The golf now green fee makes it very attractive.

The overall layout of course is good. The fairway grass was quite long and greens were slow. The reception from the booking inn was lovely and friendly. Overall good value.

Played Merlin on a beautiful sunny day, the four ball in front let us play through. The grounds team were courteous stopping their mowing when we’re taking our shots.

Would defo play again and great value for money but a lot of the course is very samey but some nice views of the countryside

Really enjoyed my round at Merlin. Friendly and welcoming staff on reception, who gave me some useful tips. Course was in great condition - a good challenge combined with excellent views of the beautiful countryside and coast line. Will definitely be returning - would recommend!

This golf club at one time must of been very good but unfortunately it looks like money is getting short, every thing is a bit tatty, when you arrive you are greeted by probably the worst putting green I’ve ever seen so when you get on the course you’re are not surprised when the greens are as bad, the only safe in grace was it only cost £17.00, this course has a lot of potential.

We will not be playing it again.
