The quaint little course at Cannington Golf Club was designed by Martin Hawtree, a leading modern golf course architect, and opened in 1993. It offers a true links experience in some fine surroundings. The discerning golfer may be put off, however, by the fact it offers only nine-holes and measures less than 3000 yards in total, to a par of 34. Underestimate at your peril, though, as if you don't take the time to play it, you will miss out on one of the finest pay-and-play courses around. At £9.50 per round, will you find better value anywhere? It has some challenging holes too, with some bewildering par-4s made even more tricky when the strong prevailing winds blow.
