About

Formerly known as St. Mellion International Resort - Kernow Course.

St Mellion International is set in 450 acres of tranquil Cornish countryside, St Mellion really is a golfers paradise and the ideal venue for a relaxing break. Established in 1976 by Herman Bond, St Mellion is now recognised as a leading west country venue for business and pleasure. The championship golf courses have gained an international reputation and have played host to the Benson and Hedges International on six occasions. 1997 saw the opening of AERO at St Mellion and it's top flight leisure facilities have been heralded as the best of their kind in the SW of England. AERO includes such facilities as two pools, a steam room, sauna, spa-pool, a fully equipped state of the art fitness suite as well as a skin care and spa centre.

The Kernow Course at St Mellion was opened in 1976 when brothers Herman and Martin Bond unveiled a championship course and clubhouse. The course played host to several major events from as early as 1978, when the PGA Cup Match was played at St Mellion, resulting in victory for the Great Britain and Ireland team. Before completion of the Nicklaus course, the 'old' course hosted many big events including the B+H Open. Although somewhat overshadowed by the more famous Nicklaus course, the old is a very testing and interesting course in its own right. At just under 6000 yards, it has many holes which will test the very best of golfers.
