St Enodoc, Wadebridge
St Enodoc has one of the finest links golf courses in the South West of England with everything you would expect from a James Braid design; undulating fairways, firm greens, some blind shots and all with the added bonus of some of the greatest sea and estuary views on any course in the World. No two holes are the same; it may not be long by today’s standards but it is tight and so requires courage and accuracy to cope with some of the problems posed. In 2014 it hosted the English Women’s Amateur Championship to rave reviews from both the players and the officials of England Golf. Definitely worth a shot!
