A bit of History....
In 1972, Martin & Herman Bond had the idea to develop one of their farming fields into a golf course. They managed to persuade one of the leading designers of the time, J Hamilton-Stutt to design what is known today as the Kernow Course. It opened in 1976 to considerable acclaim and within two years had already become a fixture on the European Tour hosting the Benson & Hedges International Open and the Tournament Players’ Championship. After some critical remarks from Senor Ballesteros, the Bond brothers decided to create another golf course, even more challenging than the Kernow. After compiling a list of designers they decided to pursue the service of Mr Jack Nicklaus. After three years of countless trips to the States, Jack Nicklaus agreed to design this new course.
