Conditions of Play
Golf at St. Mellion...quite simply, as good as it gets
Standard Of Golf
We do not require handicap certificates but both golf courses are at a championship standard, so every golfer needs to be at a competent level and understand the etiquette to the golf courses and other players around them.
Tee Times
The Nicklaus tee times are every 10 minutes while the Kernow course is every 9 minutes, every golfer is expected to turn up to the first tee 10 minutes prior to their tee time.
Pace Of Play
Both golf courses have their own pace of play guidance, which for the Nicklaus Course is 4 & 3/4 hours & for the Kernow Course 4-hours. There will be Course Marshalls patrolling both courses, to ensure a reasonable pace of play is maintained.
Pairing Up Policy
To ensure we are keeping with pace of play and catering for the business St Mellion holds the right to pair golfers together. St Mellion do hold a fourball policy.

Buggies
Buggies on the Nicklaus course must always keep to cart paths. Buggies on the Kernow course are allowed on the fairways but are weather dependant. We have recently added a brand-new fleet of 60 buggies that include a state-of-the-art GPS system. Buggies are only allowed to be operated by people over the age of 18 years old.
