The championship links at St Enodoc Golf Club in north Cornwall has been awarded 82nd position in Golf Digest magazine’s recently released ‘World’s 100 Greatest Courses’ rankings.
This is the first time that St Enodoc’s Church Course has featured in the influential US golf magazine’s rankings since 2014 – the year it was inaugurated – when it was listed at number 99, signifying a noteworthy rise of 17 places in eight years.
The biennial rankings are compiled by 350 panellists who reside not just in the USA but around the world, which brings ‘a truly international perspective to the list’ says Golf Digest.
Courses from 25 different countries made this year’s rankings, with designs from the UK and Ireland featuring prominently. Scotland leads the way with 17 entries, followed by 13 from England, including St Enodoc.
Founded in 890 and designed by the legendary James Braid, St Enodic’s Church Course is famous for its undulating fairways, firm greens as well as the breathtaking views of the north Atlantic Ocean and the Camel Estuary that can be seen from every hole.
