Annual Ticket Holders

Perhaps you have passed the stage when you call yourself a beginner and you just wish to practise your skills amongst some other golf players. Our annual ticket holders meet up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9am for a friendly round and they would love you to join them. Doesn’t matter if you’re a hacker or a pro, everyone is welcome.

Becoming an annual ticket holder gives you the chance to play on two amazing courses our 18-hole par 3 and the 18-hole Pitch & Putt atop the spectacular Cornish coast. Ticket holders receive a wide range of discounts and special offers at Woody’s Bar and can take part in a variety of golf competitions and social events throughout the year.

Adding to the list of changes we would like to let you know that you can now pay for your membership via direct debit.

Our golf course is open all year round but we all know that our gorgeous Cornish wintery weather is not playing along. If that happens why not step inside our Woody’s bar and enjoy its cosy ambience with a fire place and carefully prepared selection of hot chocolates.

Contactless and cashless payments 

Please remember we have now become cashless here at Holywell Bay Golf but we have done it with the best interest of our customers in mind. It means faster and safer service, plus it’s easy to keep track of spending.

With Covid 19 still lingering, it also limits exposure for yourself and us. Help us to help keep you safe and enjoy more time spent on the golf course.

However, we want to assure our guests that if you have the exact amount in cash, we will not stop you from playing, it just means we cannot provide change.

We all hope that we are heading towards normality again with Covid restrictions being lifted slowly but nevertheless we want to assure you we were always trying to make our venue as safe as it can be. We even installed contactless golf ball extractors on Par 3 course J

Blue light and armed forces 20% discount

We want to recognise the fact that this past 2 years have been extremely difficult for our NHS staff and blue light services in general so we wanted to thank you by offering a bit of leisure in a discounted price. If you have a Blue Light Card or an Armed Forces ID bring it with you to claim a massive 20% discount per game on our Par 3 and Pitch & Putt golf courses.

Offer is only for guests who show a valid ID at the time of booking their games. And only valid for per game.

E-news and updates

If you wish to receive regular news about some promotional deals or just hear from us from time to time please sign up to our e-news on the website.

Otherwise we urge you to come along and experience the beautifully-kept links of Holywell Bay, which provides a very fair test of golf and affords spectacular views of the sea.

We hope to see you all soon!

Top Five Golfing Tips for Beginners

//  by 

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.

Mini Golf Course at Holywell Bay

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.

The ‘must have’ kit for any golfer!

//  by 

Here at Holywell Bay Golf we have a ‘no dress code’ policy so all you really need are a set of clubs (which are included in the price) and golf balls (available from the shop for a 50p deposit). However we’ve thought of a few essentials that are handy to have on the golf course, some of them might even make you play a better game!

  1. Spare golf balls – it might seem obvious but you will need more than you think!
  2. Umbrella – we do like to think of Cornwall being the sunshine county; however it quite often rains…or pours –a good umbrella will mean that you can stay on the course during all weather (and it can be used for shade during a heatwave).
  3. Pencils or pen for keeping your score – don’t rely on your friend’s memory they will make sure that you lose!
  4. A golf ball marker. Refer to point 1!
  5. A towel to clean the mud off your clubs – ok! It’s only a suggestion you might not need it.
  6. Drink and snacks –it’s a good 3-4 hours round our course and we wouldn’t you getting dehydrated or hungry -it might put you off your game!
  7. If you are new to the ‘game’ you might want to take a rule book.
  8. Sun cream and sunglasses – these can be used to disguise the disappointment in your eyes when you lose or the smugness when you win.

All that’s left now, is to book your round. Do it online here and you can save 10%.
