The Point at Polzeath Overview | NCG Top 100s: GB&I Golf Resorts

Golf Overlooking the Bay

The golf course at The Point at Polzeath provides stunning views of the area, including across Camel Estuary, Polzeath Beach, Nicker Point and Padstow Bay. The layout plays in two loops, allowing golfers to play either nine or 18 holes, dependant on their choosing. The front nine plays at the southern side of the resort, and loops around the driving range facility and some of the apartments on site. After coming back to the clubhouse, you then set off for the northern section of the course, and the slightly tighter back nine.

It is a course that can see you start well, with a reachable par 5 for the longer hitters getting you on your way. The road cuts across the fairway, but if you can find the short grass, then the green is in sight. The two par 3s on the front side sandwich the other par 5, with both of the short holes requiring no more than a long iron to find the surface. The 6th is the long hole in between, with a green that is tucked into the trees at the boundary of the property.

Water comes into play on 14, in the form of a winding stream that works its way down the right side of the fairway. 16 is the shortest hole on the course, at just 110 yards from the tips. Just a flick of a wedge can find the centre of the putting surface, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you will make par, let alone birdie! 17 is a double dog-leg par 5, with the hole constantly moving from right to left, before you get to the closer, a medium-length par 4 which requires a drive over the top of a bunker situated in the middle of the fairway. Carry that, and birdieing the last is within reach.
