What the club says: The rolling parkland of the Championship par 72 golf course nestling on the cliffs at Carlyon Bay is at once beautiful, dramatic and spectacular. Overlooking St. Austell Bay, the panoramic backdrop at Carlyon Bay is truly breathtaking and offers the most dramatic golfing challenge. Stretching along the coastline towards the port of Par, the course offers 6,500 yards of the most stimulating golf in Cornwall.

Good course
The course was in excellent condition and a great challenge with many different features. The only problem for me was the lack of distance markers and with a few blind holes and uphill greens, not knowing the distances is a big problem.Reviewer Rating

Lovely parkland course
Very well maintained, lush parkland course with some great views. One of my favourites in the area. Some slow play but most let faster players through. They provide a very good scorecard giving plenty of info and guidance on the course. Recommended.My only criticism wouls be they could do with more ball cleaners and possibly some bins.

Brilliant Course
Got to be honest this is certainly one of the best course i have played over the past 20yrs of playing off and on. The Views are amazing the course was in fantastic condition. The day we played was really strong winds which seem to improve my game. Great place to play.(Round played: May 2021 - Score: 104 Handicap: )

Scenic course bad members
Visited on a golfnow afternoon deal which was lot cheaper than advertise prices which are extortionate, got partnered with others however they had gone out meaning played solo.Lovely course with amazing views front 9 and then more based country way back. Managed a birdie and 99 having not played it before.
However pace of play was too fast members behind were all grouped or buggies so had to constantly let through, some quite rude and in accommodating as course newbie
One guy even cut over skipping the turn and was right behind me every hole tee to green but didn't want play through!
May go again but only on a cheap deal as not amazing and members need a better attitude

Gem on the South coast
Absolutely love this course. When you stand on the first tee with the sun shining and look out over the sea then its total perfection . Overall the course requires accurate driving and offers a good chance to imbeat your handicap. Only criticism is that it can get a little busy but if you choose your times well its not a problem on reality.Reviewer Rating

Well worth a visit
Most holes very good with great views over the bay. 14, 15 and 16 are parkland and not so interesting. We stayed at the hotel and 1 round per day was complimentary - excellent value!(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 97 Handicap: 20.3)
