Now is the best time for you and your family to get golfing with these golf tips for beginners! Not only can you learn a new sport, but golf is always a great way to get fresh air and enjoy the stunning views Holywell Bay has to offer. Our golf courses are open to all ages and abilities with no dress code and clubs to hire. If you are an absolute beginner, then check out of top golf tips below.

1. Check your alignment
Most right-handed people will naturally aim right, however that doesn’t always been the golf ball will go that way. Take time to align not only your feet, but your knees, hips and shoulders, not to mention the club face.

2. Posture makes perfect
Be sure to bend at the hip, not the waist. Make yourself solid and balanced before attempting a swing.

3. Get to grips with the grip
Place your weaker hand (left for right-handed golfer) at the top of the club with the right underneath. Many beginners think that the stronger hand should be at the top controlling the swing.

4. Take a swing at it
Imagine you’re skimming a stone or throwing a baseball, starting the movement with the lower body, with the upper body following.

5. Practice makes perfect
With many things, the more swings you can practise, the better you will become. Perhaps start with Pitch and Putt courses before moving onto the Par 3 course.

The most important golf tip for beginners is to just have fun and soon enough your competitiveness will have you mastering shots to beat your family. Discover our golf courses online before visiting and check out our Facebook page for lots more images.

Following recent advice from the Government on the response to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, we have taken the very difficult decision to temporarily close Holywell Bay Golf.

We will be closed throughout April and do not know currently when we will be able to re-open, but will provide further updates as soon as we can.

Holywell Bay Golf has unveiled its all-new Mini-Golf Course and is inviting families and friends to enjoy the thrills and spills for a ‘hole’ lot of fun this summer.

The 16-hole course is packed with challenges meaning even the most experienced golfers will have a ball. Players need to negotiate their way around obstacles, conquer tricky shots and perfect their short game on the mini greens.

From putting over bridges, navigating around granite rocks and aiming through tunnels, this is a family-friendly course that is a feast of fun.

Water sports fans can also test their skills on the course which features a pond, waterfall and even a water fountain.

There’s a multiple hole challenge to up the ante and help friends and families uncover who is secretly the most competitive of the group.

With views stretching across the sand dunes leading down to Holywell Bay and out to iconic Gull Rocks, this is surely one of Cornwall’s most scenic Mini Golf courses.

Open all year round the course is the latest addition to Holywell Bay Golf and Trevornick Holiday Park Manager Adrian is hoping families will swing into action this summer.

“Our 18-hole par 3 course and the pitch and putt courses are hugely popular, but we wanted to offer families with little one’s something and possibly inspire a future generation of golfers to take up the sport.”

“The new Mini Golf course has been really fun to create and myself and the team had a great time when we trialled it for the first time,” he added.

The Mini Golf at Holywell Bay is open now and prices are £4 for children and £6 for adults plus there are tasty snack and drinks on offer at Woody’s Bar.

These are our favourites here at Woody’s:

Starters
Its is without a doubt got to be the garlic mushrooms coated in breadcrumbs served with a creamy garlic mayonnaise; These two were meant to be together. The perfect combination all year round, they are the best when you have been out playing golf all day! If you’re not feeling hungry enough for a main course, then these are the perfect snack! But watch out, they are seriously moreish!

Mains
It’s a classic but you really cant’ beat it – we love the char-grilled 12oz gammon served with chips, fried egg and pineapple – it even contains one of your five a day! Sourced locally and freshly prepared, our chef will go the extra mile to make sure that you will want to come back for this dish time and time again.

Desert
Not the easiest category to pick from, but we’ve settled on the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake – we probably don’t need to explain why!! This chocolaty rich cheesecake is like normal cheesecake, only better; we are not sure ifs it’s the cookie dough enhancement or the view whilst eating, it but either way it’s won us over.
