Championship golf along the south-coast cliffs
Carlyon Bay’s championship course is defined by its cliff-top position above the sea. The 18-hole layout brings the south Cornwall coastline into the round, making it an appealing choice when the view is part of the holiday. Its setting gives a different flavour to a tour otherwise built around the north-coast links. Take time to enjoy the surroundings while allowing for the coastal weather when you choose what to pack.
Combine the round with a resort-style stay
The hotel, spa and golf setting make Carlyon Bay worth considering for a party travelling with non-golfing guests. The separate nine-hole Approach Course offers another playing option alongside the Championship layout. Tell us whether you want a full golf itinerary, a shorter session or time for the rest of the resort. Any hotel offer, golf inclusion and use of leisure facilities must be checked for your dates and room booking.
Choose the golf for your group
Carlyon Bay has an 18-hole Championship course and a nine-hole Approach Course. These are different playing options, so specify the layout you want. The shorter course may be worth discussing for a mixed-experience party rather than assuming everyone wants the same round.
A golf and hotel break
The venue offers hotel stays alongside its golf facilities. Ask which rounds, meals and facilities are included in the actual offer for your dates. Confirm room sharing, single supplements and any non-golfer arrangements before comparing quotations.
Practice, tuition and hire
The venue advertises practice facilities, golf tuition and equipment hire. Request any lesson or hire needs early, including whether the group needs clubs or buggies. Availability and the price of each extra should be confirmed separately.
Plan around a south-coast base
Keep a Carlyon-led stay around St Austell Bay if that suits your wider plans. Falmouth is another south-coast course to consider on a separate day, with the road journey checked first. Include your arrival point and departure time so golf fits the full trip.
