Golf in Cornwall: England’s Best Kept Secret W hen people conjure images of England’s most southwesterly county of Cornwall, they often think about the area’s rugged, cove- filled coastlines, its beautiful beaches and the many quaint seaside villages. The area is famous for foods such as, Cornish clotted cream, Cornish pasties and, of course, the freshly caught seafood. In addition to being one of Great Britain’s more popular vacation destinations, Cornwall is home to many first-class golf courses. West Cornwall Golf Club is the oldest course in the county and opened in 1889. Today, the Cornwall Golf Union boasts more than 30 golf courses that range, geographically, from Cape Cornwall Golf Club in the far western edge of Cornwall to the Bude & North Cornwall Golf Club in the northeast section of the county.
