Cornwall: In the footsteps of giants (Part 2)

Continuing his search for the hidden gems created by the designers of the Golden Age, Charles McLaughlin heads for deepest Cornwall

St Enodoc Clubhouse

This is a taxing walking course, with the opening stretch among the toughest in the area. Strong golfers will love it, us mere mortals need to grind through the first four holes then enjoy what is a magnificent test of golf. Bring plenty of balls, and allow enough time to sample the fare in the large and well maintained clubhouse.

For those wanting to spend more time in Cornwall, there are numerous tracks around worth visiting with the James Braid links at Perranporth a must-see. Also, track down the delicious Padstow Windjammer - another fantastic local beer.

Hugging the coastline, we headed north-east back into north Devon and back a century or two… When talking about the “footsteps of giants” none come bigger than those of Old Tom Morris and he designed our next port of call.
