Perranporth Golf

Played this course several times before and today was windy which made it challenging. Teamed up with a member on the 4th tee. The course was in ok condition but the worst I have seen it, clear they had recently done a lot of work to it and spiked everywhere, tees, fairways and greens. Greens were remarkably slower than previous rounds. Also noticed green fees have increased.

Good golf though and a challenge for all with many blind shots, friendly pro and member. Would play again.

This is true links golf

Greet links course , have to say play it twice so you get to know the blind shots in . The course is immaculate, well done to the green staff . Proper challenging links golf course and the back drop views simply stunning. As a links course I can’t see there is anything better within a 100 miles it’s really is that good . Clubhouse just had revamp and looks great.

A true links test that does not disappoint

Drains very well as 4 hour downpour which stoped 20 mins before my tee time but not a trace of the water. Greens not cut that day but still quick enough to challenge lag putting. Preferred lies on damaged fairways due June drought but not a problem. Occasionally tricky to pick out the line off of tee box but aiming marker posts were accurate. Expected - and received - the links effect bounces and rolls but never unfair. A 20 mph wind made this a good links test. Overall, good experience and will definitely play again. 83 gross / 7 handicap.

Lovely views,

The views were amazing, the course was in great condition. The greens were a bit slow! I would recommend playing with someone who has played it before as there are at least 12 blind holes! Signage between greens and tees were not very helpful. Came away a bit disappointed, £75 for non members is too expensive for an average links course.

Hit it straight!

This was the first time I had played the course on a warm, sunny May Day. This course is full of blind shots, with plenty off of the tee. Even hitting the fairway, there are lots of slopes and hills so your ball can easily roll away. Greens are light lightning and often sloped so plenty of challenging puts. I was +1 through six and ended up +14, playing off 10. I wouldn’t recommend playing this with higher handicappers as you’ll spend a huge amount of time looking for balls in the rough. The slope index was surprising as I would have thought it would be higher.

Staff were very friendly, as were other players on the course. Speed of play was good too.

Perranporth March 2023

Really stunning course and very tricky for a high handicap golfer however very enjoyable. Loads of blind shots and can spend a while looking for your ball. When I booked and played we were told after we turned uo that we would be playing off fairway matts but still oaying the full price . Would have been nice to know this before booking as had travelled 2 hours to play

Stunning coastal views

Fantastic course with incredible views throughout. Course was in excellent condition with real character throughout. There’s a lot of blind shots - felt like every hole on the back 9 had at least one - so tricky to play first time. This did get a little a little tiresome by the end but the overall quality of the views, layout and green complexes made up for it imo. Well worth playing if you’re in the area.

Back to Perranporth

Again another fun enjoyable round at Perranporth. Cool and blowy as but stayed dry. Did have to use fairway mats for the first time. A few ropey shots on them to begin but then got used to them. As a result shame still full green fee but course still busy so there was still the demand. Changing rooms were great but did not use clubhouse as had the dog which was shame as they had my favourite pint on tap.

Hateful

I don't think in 60 years of playing golf, both at an amateur and a professional level, have I enjoyed a course less. I'm sure I played it in 1970 as a 19-year-old assistant professional (scratch) but I don't remember it being such an impossible layout. Almost every hole is blind - yes even the short holes - and even second/third shots can be blind. After hitting a straight drive over the marker post, one would logically expect to find one's ball in the fairway...oh no, the fairways tilt in all directions. So that straight shot will be off in the rough somewhere - IF you manage to find it !!
I gave up and walked in after 9 holes.

Study the course, or take a lot of balls with you !

Played in mixed weather. Somewhat warmer than normal, then the sea mist arrived with drizzle and we played blind. The course undulates and is littered with marker posts to show the line as many courses do. But as always, the marker posts are for the mens tees and do not align from the ladies tees. Some great shots were lost because of this.
And we were lost a few times. We were saved the embarrassment of playing in the wrong direction by a following group who also told us it wasn't unusual! Hole numbers on the marker posts wouldn't be a bad idea to help visitors.
The greens were pretty good given the current drought conditions in the UK and as a two ball we were let through quickly and in a friendly manner by locals and visitors alike. Overall, a great challenge and one that we will take on again.

Fast Running Links

Perranporth Golf Club provided a challenge on a warm Summer’s day. The dry weather has created a fast running links course that is tricky to negotiate. Local knowledge is essential as there are a large number of blind tee and second shots. I was fortunate to join up with three locals without whom I would have struggled to find my way around some of the blind holes. The golf course is a hard walk with a lot of up and downhill but the views of the North Cornish Coast are magnificent. A battery powered trolley offered by the Pro shop is highly recommended for those who are not used to the hilly terrain. After a long walk on a warm Summer’s day, the welcoming beer on the clubhouse terrace was most enjoyable.

Looks like your on the moon

2nd taste of links golf and it didn’t disappoint! Unlike any golf course I’d played before, standing on Ali t of the tees, your tee shots blind but bar one marker pole they all point you in the right direction! Definitely play again and if your down in Cornwall I’d say it’s a must play for all golfers!
