One of England’s oldest and most beguiling golf clubs, St Enodoc in north Cornwall ( www.st-enodoc.co.uk ) is celebrating its 125 th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the club will stage a Festival of Golf Week, comprising various tournaments and social functions, from June 28 th to July 5 th . The highlight of the week promises to be a Hickory Shaft Tournament with competitors carrying a set of fully-restored hickory clubs in replica leather and canvas bags over a composite course of club’s Church and Holywell courses. First laid out in 1890 by acclaimed golf course designer James Braid, St Enodoc’s Church Course is considered one of the premier championship links in England that has a golfing heritage to match. Its location on the high sand dunes of the north Cornwall coast overlooking the Camel Estuary, with Padstow to the west and the Atlantic ocean to the north, makes for ideal links golf and for some of the greatest sea and estuary views of any course in the world.
