Newquay Golf Club

The course and its history

Newquay Golf Club was formed in 1890 alongside Fistral Beach. A new lease in 1908 extended the grounds, and Harry Colt laid out the course. Top 100 Golf Courses says the 6,141-yard course played today is essentially Colt's layout. It is a par 69 that runs 6,141 yards from the blue tees, with shorter yellow, red and orange tees. Because it is built on dunes, the club says it stays in excellent condition all year. Well-placed pot bunkers guard the greens, which the club says are among the best in the county. The clubhouse, known as The Tower, was built in 1835 for the Molesworth family.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Visitors can book online. There are rates for adults, juniors and County Card holders, as well as multi-day deals. Twilight rates run from 4pm to 6pm, March to October, except on Fridays. Groups of 12 or more should call the office for society rates. Cameras at the car park read number plates, so register your vehicle with the club when you arrive.

Getting there

The club is on Tower Road, a short walk from Newquay town centre. Drivers should head for Mount Wise roundabout, then follow Higher Tower Road and Tower Road; the club is on the left.
