Trevose Championship: 2026 Access and Booking Update
Trevose is the holiday links done right, a Harry Colt design on the north Cornwall coast where firm turf, sea views and a family friendly resort sit alongside a course good enough to have hosted serious amateur and seniors championships. Here is where the Championship Course stands in 2026, how visitor access and booking work, and how to play it.
The news: a Harry Colt links that keeps its standing
The Championship Course at Trevose Golf and Country Club sits above Constantine Bay near Padstow on the north Cornwall coast, designed by the great architect Harry Colt and opened in 1925. More than a century on, it heads into 2026 as the anchor of one of the most popular golf and family resorts in the southwest of England, and as a course that still earns its place among the region's best.
Trevose has hosted significant competition over the years, including the Brabazon Trophy and, more recently, the European Legends Links Championship, which keeps its name in front of serious golfers. The combination of a Colt design, a stunning coastal setting and genuinely accessible green fees is rare, and it is the reason the resort is booked out summer after summer.
The course itself
The Championship Course plays as a par 71, running around 6,600 yards from the medal tees and stretching beyond 7,000 yards from the very back. It hugs the dunes and the sea on the front nine, where the views across Constantine Bay are at their best, before turning inland through firmer, more strategic ground on the way home.
It is a Colt course, which means the strategy is in the angles and the green sites rather than in brute length. The turf is firm and running through the summer, the wind off the Atlantic is a constant factor, and the holes ask the player to think about position rather than simply hitting hard. It is approachable enough to enjoy on holiday and good enough to reward the serious player.
How to play it in 2026
Trevose is a resort club that is open to visitors, and for 2026 access is straightforward. Booking is required and a handicap certificate is expected, and because Trevose is also a stay and play resort with apartments, bungalows and cottages on site, many visitors play as part of a multi night booking that includes accommodation and access across the resort's courses.
On cost, the Championship Course is among the most accessible of any course of its quality in England, with indicative 2026 peak green fees in the region of 100 to 115 pounds and lower shoulder season rates. Treat those as indicative for the season and confirm directly before booking. The summer months bring the firmest turf and the busiest tee sheet, so plan ahead.
Our take
Our take is that Trevose is the best argument in England for the golf holiday that works for everyone. The Championship Course is a genuine Colt links of real quality, the setting above Constantine Bay is hard to beat, and the green fee is a fraction of what a course of this pedigree would command elsewhere.
If you are planning a 2026 Cornwall trip, build it around a stay at the resort so you can play the Championship Course more than once and add the shorter courses for the rest of the group. Book ahead for the summer, carry your handicap details, travel for the firm coastal turf, and take the time to enjoy the front nine along the sea.
