St Mellion International Resort

About St Mellion International Resort Holiday Apartment

Following a comprehensive andpound;20 million redevelopmentthe St Mellion International Resort now features the recently opened brand new 4* hotel plus significant improvements to the Nicklaus Signature Course and the Kernow Course (formerly the Old Course).

St Mellion is arguably the premier golfing destination in the South-Westboasting two championship coursesand has welcomed the European Tour's elite on no less than six occasions for the Benson and Hedges International.

Nicklaus Course
Opened in 1988the Nicklaus Course at St Mellion was the Golden Bear's first project in the UKand to this day Jack rates it as one of his best creations. The andpound;2.5 million investment now complete was overseen by the Nicklaus design team.

From the championship tee markers the course measures 7 019 yards and is a thorough examinationbut there are tees to suit golfers of all abilities. The Nicklaus is typical of its designer's architectural ethoswith a premium being placed on finding the correct position from the elevated tees in order to attack the flags. Inaccuracy will be punished severely by the strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards around this South-Western gem.

Kernow Course
Formerly known as the Old CourseSt Mellion'sandnbsp;Kernow isandnbsp;often in the shadow of Jack Nicklaus' creation next doorbut it is a fine championship layout in its own right. Though not particularly long by modern standards - the Kernow measures 5 782 yards - there is no shortage of challenge and intrigue.

A major face-lift has seen the addition of new lakes andandnbsp;bunkersplus some totally rebuilt putting surfaces. Spectacular scenery surrounds the coursewhose highlights include the short 12^thwhere the green is guarded closely by waterand the memorable par-4 closing hole which demands two excellent strikes.
