"If you are lucky and visit us on the right afternoon, kestrels swoop whilst fleshy snacks dart between swaying grass and in the coves below, waves rush the shoreline with hypnotic flow. Royal Zennor’s unique terroir nestles peacefully in its Cornish lap. Our first nine holes skip out, hand in hand, with the ocean. The returning nine, side-step inland, playing hide and seek amongst the heathery mounds. I am not given to hubris and I promise you there is no more breath-taking course on earth.

Our members share a belief that golf’s secret lies in the club’s motto, “tava dres formya”, feelings over form. A credo that sensations rather than positions are the easiest path to golfing success.

Mo Penrose, our club professional, espouses this philosophy. In summer months, he takes proprioception-improving classes on the clubhouse lawn. In the colder months, he runs swing speed sessions on the patio, encouraging members to swing in furious synchrony. His lessons often start with the throwing of clubs, rather than the hitting of balls.

At other clubs, people often shy away from asking, “How’s the golf?” concerned the personal trauma such enquiries might elicit. At Royal Zennor though, we believe it takes a club to build a swing and here the wisdom of the crowd is available to all. If you come and join us, you will be most welcome at the world's most beautiful golfing challenge."
