The Holywell at St Enodoc is a fun round with 9 par 3s and 9 par 4s. Many of the holes would do justice to any golf course and holes 14, 15 and 16 are its "Amen Corner".

Number 14 is a 345 yard uphill par 4 with a road diagonally crossing the fairway at its most inconvenient point where it also doglegs right which then leaves the player with a steep uphill second to an almost invisible green.

By comparison, the 15th at least you can see all of the very small upturned saucer Donald Ross style green some 176 yards downhill. This hole is completely at the mercy of the wind from whichever direction it may be blowing and there is every chance that a ball landing on the green will be shed off again.

At 109 yards the 16th is the shortest hole of all and to compensate it has a tiny green, the detail of which is hidden from view - you see the flag and nothing else. Anyone who stands on the 17th tee having parred the previous 3 holes can feel very pleased.

The Holywell course is maintained to a very high standard and while it may be less demanding on stamina, it still provides a real test of skill for all golfers.

To the left of the 12 hole is the "Holy Well" the history of which is somewhat clouded, one theory is that St Enodoc may have baptised his converts here at the site of a small settlement.
