Retallack Resort Pitch and Putt Golf Course

Three miles from Tremayne, this pitch and putt course sits within the Retallack Resort complex and makes for a proper family-friendly round. The holes are short enough that even teenagers who normally complain about golf might actually finish without sulking.

You're looking at nine holes designed to test your short game rather than exhaust you. The course won't challenge scratch golfers, but that's rather the point - it's about having a laugh with the kids or warming up rusty putting skills without committing to 18 holes elsewhere. Most families get round in about an hour, which is just right before attention spans wander.

The setting feels more relaxed than your typical municipal course. Being part of a resort, there's a decent clubhouse for drinks afterwards, and the whole place has that holiday vibe rather than stuffy golf club atmosphere.

From nearby parks like Watergate Bay Touring Park or Parkdean's White Acres, it's close enough for an afternoon diversion when the beach gets too busy or weather turns. The drive from Padstow Holiday Village takes about ten minutes through lovely countryside.

Worth checking their website for current prices and opening times before heading over. While you won't get your handicap down here, it's a cracking way to spend an hour or two with family who wouldn't normally touch a golf club.
