Absolute pleasure to play here

Despite a few heavy, shortlived showers it was an absolute pleasure to play here. The course, apart from one hole near the finish that might be due for reconstruction was in superb condition, far better than several other courses I've played in the last month or two. It also has some glorious views of St Austell Bay. Can't believe I've taken so long to decide to play here. Will have it very close to the top of my list for a round whenever I'm back in Cornwall.

A lovely afternoon at Porthpean

I booked through golf now and had a lovely welcome from all I met at the club, the course was in super condition and even given the work that is on going to the back 9 it’s a good test. I can’t wait to see it when the new par 5 is finished . A super course great value for money very friendly people and a good test of golf I will gladly recommend it to anyone . Thank you I look forward to returning

Lovely course and staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Sadly the only disappointment was the changes currently to the couple of holes before 18th.

These holes are being reconstructed and temporary as well.

Map please

Really could have done with better directions between holes, we couldn't actually find the 16th as there were no signs after the 15th green and no map on the scorecard. Excellent location though and the first 9 were really well maintained and ajoy to play. Also congratulations to all staff they went beyond the call with everything, thank you.

Best Value for Money Course I’ve Played

Great course. First 9 a lovely parkland style course, with back 9 a bit more tricky as backs right up to the cliffs / coast. Some holes under repair / reconstruction which made it even more difficult, and was very up and down terrain on the back 9. Great course overall with lovely staff. Hand down the best value for money course i’ve played, and stunning views. Would definitely recommend for when down in Cornwall.

SLOW SLOW SLOW

Desperately need a marshal....2 hours 40 mins for a front 9 on a very short course. Waiting 10 plus minutes on each tee...members playing behind us getting frustrated at the 12 players ahead of us.....spoke with the club house, and apparently this hasn't happened before, but no intention of asking the 3 4 balls to speed up. Left after 9 holes.

Lovely course

Great value for money, a good mix of challenging long holes and short, particularly along the back 9. Lovely views and very peaceful. Fairways play well, greens slightly heavy but likely due to rain over last few days before playing. Great staff too

Great value

Nice course with some great views. Some work underway on a couple holes towards end of back 9, so if a first timer be sure to check where you going as tracking apps and my England Golf app didn’t quite synch on a hole near the end of the back 9. That aside; a terrific course with friendly staff and for the time of the year decent greens. Good value for under 20!

Great value interesting course

Played in Spring on a lovely clear day - not a course i had played before despite local and frankly for the cost wasn't expecting much but it was actually a greta little course and a ridiculously cheap £13 for 18holes- stadd and members were very friendly as were greenkeepers etc- course clealry having a load of money being spent on it- course of 2 halves- 1st half is in the woods- some tight holes then back nine is out on the coast- amazing views- only thing to point out is course is hilly so would be a tiring carry - could see why lots of memebers were on buggies- pace of play was ok - we caught up as a 2 ball with a ladies competition which was pretty slow but the scenery was stunning and we not in a rush so no big deal - will defo play here again

Lovely course.

Despite the weather being awful, the course was in very good condition. A few temporary greens (totally understandable) were in play.

Lovely course set within parkland and coastal scenery.

The welcome and friendliness of the staff was perhaps the best we’ve ever experienced. The food was great, making the whole experience one to remember

Definitely return
