St Mellion Estate - Set in 450 acres of picturesque Cornish countryside, St Mellion was previously voted the 'Best Golf Course' in the West of England and ranked second best four-star Golf Resort in the UK and Ireland. With its two immaculate 18-hole European Tour golf courses, the estate has become the flagship venue of Crown Golf.
Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1988, the Signature course is best remembered for hosting the Benson & Hedges International Open for six consecutive years and is now home to the Challenge Tour event 'The British Challenge'.
In addition to the first-class golfing, the St Mellion Estate offers an impressive range of leisure facilities that will appeal to families, couples and individuals seeking a retreat from everyday life. The fabulous Health Club has three swimming pools, sauna and steam room, superb gym and resistance suite, spin studio, fitness class suite and wellness spa.
The associated hotel features three restaurant areas, each offering a different dining experience - No18, the Nicklaus Bar and An Boesti Restaurant.

The beautiful countryside of the Tamar Valley is in close proximity, a World Heritage Site with a rich and diverse landscape. The City of Plymouth lies within commuting distance and boasts a wide range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities centred around the fascinating waterfront areas of The Barbican and Hoe.
