Mawgan Porth Golf Club

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.

I made a mistake when booking my tee time and the staff sorted it out without question. The course was in great condition and not too busy

Having played Merlin Golf Club previously, my wife and I were looking forward to it. The friendliness of the staff and facilities on arrival was second to none however once on the course it was a different matter. The fairways had not been cut and were full of daisies, the first cut of rough had so much mowed grass left on it that loosing balls was common. The green were awful with a lot of dry, bare patches. Listening to the locals once finished everybody was complaining. For an extra £2 (a couple) we should have played Newquay Golf Club. We drove home disappointed.

Nice open course with great views, the weather was perfect the fairways in great order, but hit your ball just off and it could easily be lost in amongst the daisies and dandelions.

Played merlin golf course as a good rate came up was pleasantly surprised with the course for the amount I paid. Course was in good condition struggled to find a few tee boxes as it was the first time playing at merlin. Apart from that I couldn’t find fault will be back again for sure.

The fairways are that long (more light rough) and full of daisies you lose your ball on a long straight shot. The greens are a disgrace, my ball bounced on some puts. Stood at reception for five minutes before the man behind the counter even acknowledged my presence. Groups playing in jeans and hoodies just about sums it up. Beautiful countryside however. I have been playing for twenty years and this is the worst excuse for a golf course I have ever seen and that includes playing some poor courses in mid winter.

Waited ages for a member of staff from kitchen to come to reception, l had to walk through to get someone! No greeting or advise given as no pro around at all, greens poor & fairways so over £50 spent with no value except being with my son.Paul

we took buggies are 1st time around this course would recommend as its a good walk but when you are unfamiliar with the layout this is a good way to feel better playing

the course was in great condition greens fairly fast great clubhouse bacon bap and a coffee before the game recommended

has a driving range and a small putting practice area

in all we would go back no problem extra nice lady in the shop very helpful and kind

First time played this course in over 20 years (back when it was only 9 holes). Playing with my son we both enjoyed the course and found the greens to be both challenging and in great condition for the time of year. Layout is good and not too hilly, unlike a few Cornish courses we’ve played recently. Nice to see some water hazards which again seem in somewhat short supply at other local courses. It needs time to mature, yes, but still gives a lot of enjoyment.

Played on Aug Bank Hol Monday with early tee time.

The layout of the course at times is confusing, fairways in good condition, but the tee boxes were the WORST I have ever encountered, even park pitch and putt were in better condition. It was impossible to Putt on the Greens as they had been HEAVILY dressed.

All in all it was very poor value for money, with the only redeeming features being the fairways and the views, I was seriously tempted to ask for a refund.

Not too difficult off the yellow tees, but the rough is quite thick so it's quite hard to get any distance if the ball is sat down. Nice views, good for a holiday round at a fair price.
