Frequently Asked Questions
When's the best time of year to play Looe Golf Club, and what should I expect from the weather?
We recommend aiming for late spring through early autumn for the most reliable weather and best course conditions. You'll find the fairways firm and greens true, though a classic Cornish shower is always a possibility, even in July. Pack layers; the coastal breeze can make it feel cooler than you'd expect on the more exposed holes.
What's the signature challenge or unique feature at Looe Golf Club that I should prepare for?
Looe truly stands out with its dramatic elevation changes and the stunning panoramic views across the Looe Valley and out to the sea. You'll need to master your club selection for uphill and downhill lies, especially on holes like the par-3 4th, which demands precision over a valley. Don't underestimate the impact of the wind on those higher, more exposed sections of the course.
What are the typical green fees at Looe Golf Club, and do you consider it good value for money?
Green fees at Looe are generally quite reasonable, especially when you consider the quality of the course and the memorable views. You're typically looking at around £35-£50 for a round, depending on the season and day of the week. We think it offers excellent value for a challenging round in a beautiful Cornish setting.
After a round at Looe, what's the clubhouse experience like, and are there any local recommendations for food or drink?
The clubhouse at Looe is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for a post-round pint and a bite to eat. We always enjoy the views from the balcony overlooking the 18th green, which is a great spot to relive your best shots. For something beyond the club, head down to Looe harbour for fresh seafood; The Old Sail Loft is a local favourite for its charm and excellent catches.
What's your top practical tip for someone playing Looe Golf Club for the first time?
Our biggest piece of advice is to walk it if you can, but don't be afraid to take a buggy if you're not used to hilly courses- it's a proper workout. Pay close attention to the local knowledge from the pro shop about blind shots and where to aim on some of the more undulating fairways. You'll save yourself a few strokes by trusting their guidance.
