Trethorne Golf Club

Trethorne Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course located in Cornwall near Launceston, measuring 6,375 yards from the championship tees with a par of 72. Set in spectacular rolling countryside with distant views of rural Cornwall, the course presents a significant challenge for single-figure golfers while remaining enjoyable for higher handicappers.

The layout features varied terrain with several distinctive characteristics. Notable holes include the par-3 8th, a water carry that demands precise club selection, and the par-5 6th, which offers a decent birdie opportunity despite an oak tree in the fairway. The par-5 14th is challenging with an uphill drive, while the par-4 17th plays significantly longer than its yardage due to sustained uphill slopes.

Recent significant investment has enhanced the course through tee refurbishment, drainage improvements around greens, bunker redevelopment, and modern greenkeeping equipment. The course strategically uses elevation changes, doglegs, and natural hazards including water, gorse, and out-of-bounds markers to create strategic interest. Multiple holes reward accurate positioning off the tee, while others feature sloped greens that influence approach shot strategy.
