Founded in 1889, West Cornwall Golf Club is the oldest existing course in the County. Situated overlooking St Ives Bay and Hayle Estuary, the views are superb. The railway track runs alongside the course and the links land gives perfect golfing all year round.

We pride ourselves on the welcome you receive at the Club and not only of our course but also the restaurant offerings and the relaxing bar for an after round drink. The pro Shop is fully stocked and offers one to one and group coaching.

We are proud to be the home of ‘Long’ Jim Barnes, 4-time major winner and in more recent times of Walker Cup players, Philip Rowe (1999) and Harry Hall (2019)
