Bowood Park Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Bowood Park Golf Course?

We always recommend visiting Bowood Park in late spring or early autumn. You'll find the course in prime condition, the weather is generally pleasant, and you avoid the peak summer crowds that can slow down play. Winter can be a bit wet, making some of those lovely fairways less forgiving.

What's the standout feature or challenge at Bowood Park?

Bowood Park truly shines with its mature parkland setting and those surprisingly tricky elevation changes. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it demands a precise shot over a valley to a well-guarded green, and it's a real card-wrecker if you're not careful. The course rewards thoughtful shot-making over brute force.

Is Bowood Park a good value for your green fee?

Absolutely, we think Bowood Park offers excellent value, especially compared to some of the pricier links courses in the region. You're getting a beautifully maintained course with a challenging layout for a very reasonable cost. It's a solid choice if you're looking for quality golf without breaking the bank.

What can we expect from the clubhouse and facilities after a round at Bowood Park?

The clubhouse at Bowood Park is welcoming and unpretentious - exactly what you want after a good walk. You'll find a comfortable bar and restaurant serving up hearty, classic pub fare that hits the spot. It's a great place to relax, recount your birdies (and bogeys), and enjoy the views over the 18th.

How easy is it to get to Bowood Park, and what else is nearby?

Bowood Park is conveniently located near the A39 in North Cornwall, making it quite accessible by car from across the South West. While it feels wonderfully secluded, you're only a short drive from charming coastal towns like Padstow and Port Isaac, perfect for exploring after your round. We suggest making a day of it and enjoying the local scenery.
