A rugged, classic James Braid design links that demands precise distance judgement and control with spectacular views over Perranporth beach. A profusion of blind shots can make life difficult for first-timers despite marker posts and boards perched on the dunes. Beautiful fairways, superb, big, slick greens, deep bunkers and often wind to add to the difficulty. But a major challenge with a succession of fine holes over the 6,286-yards, par 72, with driveable par fours through narrow dunes, sandhills and different elevations. Beware of the final hole of 278-yards. A powerful drive will go through the elevated green that still demands a tricky pitch.
