Few courses in England occupy a more dramatic coastal position than Mullion, which sits on the Lizard Peninsula — the southernmost point of mainland Britain. The Lizard is a place apart: an ancient, wind-scoured headland of serpentine rock, rare wildflowers, and Atlantic skies that change by the hour. Golf here means playing in full exposure to whatever the sea decides to send, and the elements are as much a part of the test as any bunker or slope.
Mullion Golf Club is one of Cornwall's oldest clubs, with roots stretching back to the 1890s, reflecting the Victorian enthusiasm for establishing links and clifftop courses around Britain's rugged coastlines. The course plays to a par of 68, which suits a layout shaped by terrain that was never going to accommodate lengthy, conventional holes — the land dictates the design, and that honesty is a large part of the appeal.
For visitors touring Cornish golf, Mullion offers something the bigger-name venues cannot: genuine remoteness, a strong sense of golfing history, and views across Mount's Bay that reward even a difficult round.
