St Mellion 2 Days 2025

A Memorable 2 Days of Golf at St Mellion

What a spectacular couple of days we had at the St Mellion Golf Club, with two action-packed rounds that showcased some of the best golf talent and camaraderie in the game. Nestled in the beautiful Cornish countryside, St Mellion's famed **Nicklaus Signature Course** offered a perfect backdrop for our event.

Day 1: A Warm Welcome to St Mellion

From the moment players drove through the stunning St Mellion Estate and approached the hotel, excitement was in the air. The course itself was in impeccable condition, earning rave reviews from all who played. The Nicklaus Signature Course, which opened in 1988, is regarded as one of the finest golf courses in Europe, and it certainly lived up to its reputation. Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, this course combines breathtaking views with challenging play, making it a true test of skill for golfers of all levels.

Weather conditions for Day 1 were ideal—hot with hardly any wind. The expected round time was 5 hours, but groups were coming in at around 5.15 hours showing just how well-paced the play was. The sunny skies and dry conditions made for perfect golf weather, allowing players to fully enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
