Trevose Golf Club

The Short Course at Trevose Golf Club occupies a compact parcel of links land on Cornwall's north coast, near the town of Padstow. Trevose itself sits on a dramatic headland overlooking Constantine Bay, and the Short Course shares this windswept, coastal setting with the club's Championship Course. The terrain features the rolling dunes, native grasses, and firm turf characteristic of true links golf, though on a smaller scale suited to its nine-hole layout. Designed primarily as a practice facility and an introduction to links golf, the Short Course plays to approximately 1,400 yards and consists of par threes ranging from short pitch shots to longer iron tests. The holes follow natural contours through the dunes, requiring players to navigate undulating greens, pot bunkers, and the ever-present coastal wind. The course serves multiple purposes: it allows members to sharpen their short game, provides beginners with a less intimidating entry point to the sport, and offers visitors a quick round with genuine links character. Trevose Golf Club has a long history as a family-friendly destination, and the Short Course reflects this ethos. It sees regular use by junior golfers, holiday visitors, and members looking for an evening nine holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural movement and ocean views, delivering an authentic taste of Cornish links golf in a format that can be completed in well under two hours.
