Overview
Featuring 31 well appointed and tastefully decorated rooms, Bowood Park provides guests with all they could need for a relaxing and enjoyable golf break. The on site restaurant is locally renowned and uses only the freshest local produce. With views overlooking the golf course and the many stunning sunsets the hotels prime position allows, guests can truly immerse themselves in the beautiful Cornish surroundings.
Course
The par 72 course runs to 6,692 yards for the men, 5,700 for the ladies and is set up in a way which should maximise enjoyment for all standards of golfer - you shouldn't have to spend your holiday looking for lost balls! The well-drained greens, built to USGA standards, means the course rarely closes in inclement weather, and in winter tees and greens are in full use - no temporaries. A ten bay covered driving range, large putting green and a chipping green complete the picture. A fleet of 20 electric buggies lay at your disposal.
With two nine-hole loops back to the clubhouse starts are possible from the first or the tenth, useful for those wanting an early nine hole game. The first nine starts at the upper end of the course and makes for an excellent warm-up to a full round, the benefit of which you will feel when you reach the 600 yard 7th! On the way you will pass some of the 26 lakes and ponds which adorn the course.
The second nine quickly descends past the old Lanteglos church into the valley of the river Allen which is lined by attractive bluebell woods and streams. The signature hole is the 385 yard 12th, the Azalea hole, a challenging par four with an island green reached by a covered wooden footbridge reminiscent of New England. A few holes later, you will be on the 18th tee, hopefully hitting your drive to the top of the slope which presents you with a commanding view of the clubhouse which awaits you with a welcoming and well deserved drink.
Accommodation
Bowood Park is a 31 bedroom 3 star hotel set in 230 acres of breathtaking parkland near Camelford in the north of the county. Somewhat secluded from the main road, the hotel soon emerges through a manicured driveway with its immaculately maintained golf course surrounding it. Close by is the rugged North Cornish coastline at Tintagel, Boscastle and the bays around Padstow and Newquay. You can also visit National Trust gardens, browse through pretty fishing villages such as Padstow or Port Isaac, sample watersports at Rock, cycle the Camel Trail or explore King Arthur’s Castle at Tintagel and the Eden Project at St Austell. All are within easy reach. The fine dining restaurant, winner of the RAC diners award, has panoramic views of the golf course and surrounding areas.
