Career

The course is located close to town and offers players of all skill levels a rare opportunity to experience old-school links with plenty of blind shots and fast, undulating greens. The Bude golf course challenges the most experienced golfers, without intimidating beginners. It offers eighteen exceptionally challenging holes which, if played correctly, can prove to be some of the most rewarding. This course is widely regarded as one of the best in the West Country and it's easy to see why. Challenges come in all shapes, sizes and shapes, from cleverly placed bunkers to lots of blind tee shots. Tight positions, seaside winds, fast greens and uneven positions on undulating fairways increase the challenge of playing this fabulously demanding course.

History

Founded in 1891, the club was first called North Cornwall Golf Club. It was not originally open to all visitors; only certain people were allowed to play on the course (inhabitants of Bude, officers, local notables). Harry Vardon did, however, have the opportunity to play the North Cornwall Golf Club course, as an exception, during several visits to the club in the 1900s. it brought together course artisans who claimed the right to be able to play golf on the North Cornwall course freely. It was in 1949 that North Cornwall and Bude Town merged to form the club we know today.
