Launceston and Trethorn are just of the A30 and worth a trip. If you want one of the two try Launceston.

You could also do Cina Fleet instead of St Mellion.

Agree 100%

Just go somewhere that offers good golf and is in civilisation instead?!

Having played it several times, it depends for me what you want out of the day.

If you want to say you've played a Nicklaus true Championship course that has hosted the European Tour, yeah go for it. It'll be in great condition and anywhere within sight of your handicap will be a great achievement.

If you want to just enjoy a pleasant round of golf whilst on holiday, I would personally avoid it like the plague. Just my view but it's not somewhere I would play for fun, I don't want to be losing balls every time I hit it off line. It's a true tournament course, not really my idea of fun.

Haven't they redesigned the Nicklaus course since St Mellion last hosted a tour event? I thought they'd incorporated some holes from the Kernow course but I may be wrong.

As for Perranporth someone described it as a "marmite" course and I completely agree. I hate it with a passion, I wouldn't play it again if it was free.
