St Just is a characterful base for a golf break in the far west of Cornwall, combining dramatic coastal golf with former mining landscapes, independent shops and some of Britain’s wildest Atlantic scenery. Recognised as Britain’s most westerly town, it sits close to Cape Cornwall and provides a quieter alternative to the busier resorts around St Ives and Newquay. Cornwall Airport Newquay is approximately 72 kilometres away by road, and travelling by car is recommended.

The main golfing attraction is Cape Cornwall Club, located just outside St Just. Its 18-hole course is a par 70 measuring 5,672 yards from the white tees, with shorter forward tees available for beginners and higher-handicap golfers. The layout crosses undulating ground divided by traditional Cornish hedges and stone walls, while the Atlantic Ocean, rocky coastline and Cape Cornwall headland create an unforgettable backdrop. On-site accommodation, dining and leisure facilities also make it a convenient choice for a stay-and-play break.

Golfers staying longer can travel to West Cornwall Golf Club at Lelant. Founded in 1889, it is Cornwall’s oldest existing golf club and provides a traditional links challenge shaped by firm fairways, uneven bounces, undulating greens and coastal conditions. Visitors and golf societies are welcomed.

Away from golf, the surrounding Tin Coast reveals St Just’s important mining history. The engine houses at Botallack form part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site, while nearby Geevor Tin Mine explores the lives and work of generations of Cornish miners.

Walkers can follow the South West Coast Path towards Land’s End or explore Cape Cornwall, Priest Cove and the surrounding cliffs. Sennen Cove, Porthcurno and the harbour villages around Mount’s Bay are also within reach. St Just is particularly appealing in late spring and early autumn, when golfers can combine coastal rounds with walking, heritage and relaxed evenings in a traditional Cornish town.
