Isles of Scilly Golf & Bowling Club

Isles of Scilly Golf Club operates an 18-hole course of par 73 off the coast of Cornwall, accessible only by boat or helicopter. The remote location on these granite islands presents an unusual setting for golf in England, where exposure to Atlantic weather and salt spray shape both the course and the playing experience. The isolation means facilities are necessarily self-contained, and rounds tend to attract golfers seeking something genuinely different from mainland courses.

The club draws members and visiting golfers willing to make the journey from the Cornish mainland. Few English courses demand such logistical commitment to reach, which understandably limits its profile relative to better-known clubs. For those who do visit, the novelty of island golf combined with the marine environment provides a distinctive, if demanding, golfing opportunity.
