GO Golf in Plymouth

If you’re a keen golfer then make the most of your trip to Plymouth by heading to one of the top golf courses in and around the city.

Set in picturesque countryside one mile from Plympton, Elfordleigh Golf and Country Club [map] is an 18-hole woodland course. It has a separate practice area and visitors are welcome everyday. You can also enjoy meals in the Country Club bar.

Alternatively there's Staddon Heights Golf Club [map] in the Plymstock area of the city, which has a cliff top course overlooking Plymouth Sound. The 18-hole, 5,845 yard green is a par 70 course.

For those planning a family golfing day it maybe easier and more cost effective to opt for a pay as you play course, such as the one at Sparkwell Golf Club [map] in Plympton village centre. This 9-hole parkland course is a par 68 and has its own pitch and putt practice area. After you’ve played a round, you can sit back and relax in the restaurant and bar.

Finally, set in 450 acres of beautiful countryside but just a stone’s throw from central Plymouth, St Mellion Golf Club [map] is undoubtedly one the finest golf resorts in the West Country. Here you’ll find two 18-hole championship courses - the legendary Nicklaus Course, designed by the great man himself, offers a challenging day for the more experienced golfer, while the scenic Old Course offers a gentler alternative for those new to the game.
