About
Isles of Scilly Golf Club, located on the north-west coastline of St. Mary's, is a picturesque golf and bowling club that offers a unique golfing experience on the Isles of Scilly. The club, which welcomes everyone, is known for its stunning views of inhabited islands, rocky outcrops, and the azure blue seas.
The golf course at Isles of Scilly Golf Club was designed by Horace Hutchinson and opened in 1904. It is a fusion of traditional links and gently sloping moorland with heather and gorse. The course features generous fairways and small greens, providing a challenging yet enjoyable game. With a length of 5942 yards and a par of 73, the course comprises 9 holes with 18 tees.
One of the standout holes is the short 4th hole, a 109-yard par 3 that requires a precise shot into a basin, with a gorse-surrounded tee dramatically perched above the cliffs. Over the years, many memorable shots have been played on this hole, including a number of hole-in-ones.
The course is meticulously maintained by a dedicated team of volunteer members who ensure it is in top condition year-round. Golfers can expect well-manicured fairways that invite the ball to sit up enticingly, while the relatively small greens make holding the ball a challenge. The natural beauty of the course, combined with its exposed nature, means that golf can be both enjoyable and a true test of skill, particularly when the wind blows.
The club also features a bowling green close to the clubhouse, which was constructed by enterprising members in 2010. This facility is open to everyone, including families, and all the necessary equipment is provided. It offers a fun alternative to golf and is a great way to spend time outdoors with friends and family.
Isles of Scilly Golf Club offers a range of membership options, including full membership, off-island membership, country membership, and junior membership. The club's fees are competitively priced, and membership includes insurance and VAT where applicable. The club also offers buggy and equipment hire for visitors, making it convenient for those who prefer not to bring their own equipment.
In addition to golfing and bowling, the club boasts a welcoming clubhouse bistro and bar where members and visitors can relax and enjoy refreshments. The bistro features a small shop selling a wide range of Isles of Scilly Golf Club merchandise, golf balls, tees, and detailed golf course yardage booklets.
