COURSES BRINGING YOU THE BEST PLACES TO PLAY EACH MONTH 106 Golf World May 2016
COURSES TOP 100 RANK 39 GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND TOP 100 SPOTLIGHT St Enodoc This Cornish links has enchanted Watson, Donald and Betjeman. Chris Bertram finds it easy to understand why. Ah! Seaweed smells from sandy caves And thyme and mist in whiffs, In-coming tide, Atlantic waves Slapping the sunny cliffs, Lark song and sea sounds in the air And splendour, splendour everywhere. Adegree in English Literature is not required in order to appreciate the closing stanza of Sir John Betjeman’s ‘Seaside Golf’. All that is necessary to enjoy the late Poet Laureate’s tribute to the 13th hole at St Enodoc is an affection for links golf. That he captures so eloquently the joy of playing on the linksland of St Enodoc is hardly surprising given his literary status and the fact he adored this seaside course of heroic holes. Betjeman was a Londoner, but later in life retreated to the Cornish village of Trebetherick that sits next to St Enodoc’s Church course. He is buried in the churchyard that sits between the 10th green and 13th fairway. It is not difficult to understand why Betjeman – who holidayed in the county LEFT: An aerial view from behind the new 16th green, with Brea Hill beyond. BELOW: The short 11th plays towards the estuary with the church spire to the left. as a child – set down roots in this corner of the Duchy, with the rugged, winding, north-east bank of the Camel estuary so appealing that it has become one of England’s ‘fashionable’ destinations. Indeed, the village of Rock that St Enodoc’s two courses (the Holywell was originally nine holes and after closing in WW2 became full size in 1982) sit next to has been hailed as ‘Britain’s St Tropez’ owing to its popularity with affluent holidaymakers including celebrities such as Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan. But don’t let that stop you visiting. Outside mid-summer you won’t be overrun with paparrazi or Jack Wills-clad schoolboys from Harrow. And once on the links you are more likely to encounter a world-class golfer; Tom Watson is an admirer, describing it as “a wonderful course with a lot of variety” while Luke Donald played there last year and called it “a gem of a links”. European Tour player Chris Wood, who hails from the south-west, regularly uses St Enodoc to hone his putting by virtue of its fast, undulating greens. These contemporary stars have followed Betjeman – as well as King George VI, two Prince of Wales, Edward VIII (a May 2016 Golf World 107
