Why it matters
St Enodoc sits on the Camel estuary in north Cornwall — a Tom Dunn 1907 layout reworked by James Braid in 1922 that runs through the largest dune stretch in southern England. The course is named for a medieval church half-buried by the dunes near the 10th hole, where poet John Betjeman is buried. The Church Course is the championship 18; the Holywell Course is a shorter 18 that is fine for a warm-up but not the reason you make the drive.
How to play it
Walking only and walkable. Five hours by car from London or 90 minutes from Exeter airport. Cornwall is best in May and September. Pair with Trevose (15 minutes) and Newquay (40 minutes) for a south-west three-course week. The Padstow food scene is half the trip.
