Sea Acres 9 hole course

The 9-hole course at Sea Acres sits just outside Helston and is run by Park Dean Resorts, which means it's accessible whether you're staying at one of their parks or just passing through Cornwall. It's a proper little seaside layout - nothing fancy, but the sea views make it feel less municipal than most club courses inland.

You're looking at a quick round here rather than an epic day out. Nine holes plays to around 2,500 yards depending on tees, so allow two hours if you're not rushing. The course itself is straightforward enough for beginners and families wanting a gentle introduction to golf, though it won't stretch experienced players. Greens are kept in decent nick, and the routing takes you through typical Cornish terrain - a bit windier than you'd expect inland.

This works brilliantly if you're based at Henry's Camp Site nearby - it's literally down the road at 2.8 miles, which makes popping over for a round dead easy. The Secret Garden Glamping site is a bit further at 4 miles but still very manageable. Neither requires a full day commitment, so it slots nicely into a park holiday without scuppering other plans.

Cost and exact opening hours aren't advertised online, so ring ahead before you go. Worth doing if you're a keen golfer with a couple of hours to spare and accommodation nearby, but it's not the sort of place you'd drive an hour out of your way for.
