Holywell at St. Enodoc Golf Club

The Holywell course at St. Enodoc Golf Club serves as the club's second eighteen, complementing the more famous Church Course on the same property overlooking the Camel Estuary in north Cornwall. Designed by James Braid and opened in the 1930s, Holywell occupies slightly higher ground inland from the dramatic duneland that defines its sister layout. The course takes its name from the nearby Holywell Bay and offers a contrasting experience to the Church Course's tumbling links terrain.

Braid's routing here moves across more parkland-influenced ground with less severe elevation change than the Church Course, though the layout still captures coastal views and benefits from the prevailing winds that shape play throughout the property. The design features characteristic Braid bunkering and strategic interest suited to members seeking regular play and visitors looking for a more forgiving complement to the championship test next door. Several holes play through gorse-lined corridors with the kind of heathland character common to Cornwall's inland golf terrain.

St. Enodoc's membership uses Holywell extensively for everyday golf, competitions, and as an introduction for newer players before tackling the Church Course's challenges. The course provides a genuine test of golf in its own right while maintaining accessibility for a range of abilities. Together with the Church Course, the two eighteens give St. Enodoc a depth of golf that distinguishes the club within Cornwall's coastal golfing landscape.
