TAGGS WEA26
St Mellion Estate, Cornwall
In 2026 the group will be heading to Cornwall for the annual Weekend Away. After a successful trip to the Belfry in September the group has gone for a 1-stop site where we can stay & play golf on site. The decision is to go to St Mellion Estate in Cornwall from Friday 4th to Monday 7th September. We will be following the tried & tested Ryder Cup format to fight for the Team Ryder Cup, which Graham Rose will try to defend versus the 2026 Captain, Duncan Yellen

The hotel has No 18 Brasserie for light bites, Pizzas and has good old pub grub available, Nicklaus bar which overlooks the 18th on the Nicklaus course where you have a choice of drink and snacks. Then they have An Boesti for a more stylish dining experience.
Kernow Course
​
Opened in 1976 The Old Course, as it was then called, quickly became a must play course and by 1979 was included amongst the elite by its inclusion on the European Tour with the hosting of the Benson & Hedges International Open. This was followed by two further tournaments as it played host to theTournament Players Championship, which included a win for Bernhard Langer in 1983. Entirely renovated as part of St. Mellion’s extensive 2008 redevelopment, the Kernow Course has developed into a very popular golf course
with Members & Visitors alike and a perfect foil for the world class Nicklaus Course. With its wide fairways and big greens the course has gained a popular following and in a recent survey was included in the Top 5 "2nd Courses" in the UK’s best 36-hole golf courses.
​
Nicklaus Signature Course
The Nicklaus Signature Course opened for play in 1988 and is amongst the finest golf courses in Europe and certainly one of the most famous. The course was also the first European golf course personally designed by Jack Nicklaus. It opened to rave reviews with Nicklaus himself being quoted "I knew it was going to be good but not this good". It was certainly good enough to host the B & H International Open for a number of years with Olazabal, Langer and Ballesteros amongst the winners.
St Mellion was delighted to welcome back European Tour Golf in 2022, hosting The British Challenge presented by Modest! Golf Management.
