GOLF
St Mellion is renowned as one of England’s finest golf venues, boasting two championship courses which ensures it is a regular in the top UK course rankings.

SIGNATURE COURSE
Opened in 1988, the Jack Nicklaus design 'Signature' course was the Golden Bear's first project in the UK - the course opened to rave reviews with Nicklaus himself being quoted “I knew it was going to be good, but not this good..... it’s everything I hoped for and more”
The course measures 7,019 yds from the championship tees and provides a thorough examination, but there are tees to suit golfers of all abilities. The course blends into the landscape and the design places a premium on finding the correct position from the elevated tees in order to attack the flags. Inaccuracy will be punished severely by the strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards or the rough. The Signature course can boast hosting various prestigious events including the B & H International Open, English Amateur Championship, English Seniors Open & PGA European Tour's English Open and was the scene of some classic battles between the great golfers of the ‘80s & ‘90s. Past winners of St Mellion tournaments include Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle, Bernhard Langer & Jose Maria Olazabal.

KERNOW COURSE
Opened in 1976 and formerly known as the Old Course, the Kernow offers a fine championship layout in its own right which hosted various prestigious events prior to the arrival of the Signature course, including the B&H International Open & the Tournament Players Championship.
Although it is not particularly long by modern standards measuring 5,782 yards, there is no shortage of challenge and intrigue following a major face-lift in 2008 which saw the addition of new lakes and bunkers, plus some totally rebuilt putting surfaces.
This has seen the Kernow develop into a very popular golf course with members & visitors alike - the relatively wide fairways & large greens means the course provides a perfect foil for the Nicklaus Course which has gained a popular following. In a recent survey it was included in the Top 5 "2nd Courses" in the UK’s best 36-hole golf courses.

LEISURE
The two leisure passes provide 2 adult & 2 child (up to 12 years old) memberships which offer free access to the following facilities....

• 25 metre competition pool with lane ropes + large leisure pool + baby pool (32 deg C) for the under 5's
• Spa pool (jacuzzi) & sauna (both newly refurbished Dec 2021) plus steam room
• Gym (refurbished 2020) complete with state-of-the-art matrix cardiovascular & resistance machines including treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, steppers, upright and reclining bikes - all fitness machines are equipped with Virtual Active video-based cardio workout programmes and iPod connection points. There is also a functional fitness zone with TRX, Kettlebells and BOSU balance balls.
• Range of classes including zumba, spin etc (can be booked up to 7 days in advance)
• Outdoor tennis courts
• Elemis Spa - spa treatment rooms with an extensive choice of health and beauty treatments from the in-house spa team (additional charges apply)

Note - age restrictions apply to some facilities - please check with St Mellion prior to booking.

Had a wonderful stay at this Oakridge property. Fabulous location and facilities for the St Mellion Golf courses. Simon's communication was second to none and he gave a wealth of local information.

full of promise and optimism
this property was last sold in 2009 and is now beginning to show its age. the rooms are small, the bathrooms smaller. the kitchen serves a purpose, SKY and wifi are the height of technical modernity. the location is good if you want to get away from it all, but in the back end of beyond if you want more. a tree lined approach betrays the reality and is not for the faint hearted. availability of the hotel and estate facilities is useful, however, it is a drive away (7-10mins) and parking is limiited at the hotel. overall very disappointing, the price maybe cheap for 6, still low on the value for money scale.

Short stay
The property was ideal for golf at the St Mellion golf club a few minutes away. Although the property was spacious it was in need of a bit of TLC both inside and outside, paintwork is flaking and scuffed everywhere and all rooms needed a thorough clean . The bathrooms in particular in need of updating. Regardless of the above we enjoyed our stay

Above and Beyond
Our total experience at this VRBO property was above and beyond our expectations. The tranquil setting, the lovely condo and the access to St. Mellion’s golf, leisure facilities and excellent restaurants made our Cornwall experience truly fabulous. Simon Parker provided us with excellent suggestions for our stay. He was quick to respond if we had a need or question. We hope to return again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Simon Parker

Host profile image
Although we love to visit Oakridge as often as we can, unfortunately, due to work & family commitments this does not happen nearly as often as we would like.
12 Oakridge is not a cosy second home benefit for us and we are therefore pleased to offer our guests the opportunity to enjoy everything that the property and location has to offer.
Our guest's reviews and Visitor Book comments consistently indicate that people not only appreciate the accommodation and the superb golf & leisure facilities that St Mellion has to offer, but also consider that 12 Oakridge provides an ideal base from which to explore the numerous and varied local attractions.

We do hope that you enjoy your stay.

Kind Regards
The Parker Family

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a holiday property in Devon or Cornwall as a long-term investment which we could occasionally use as family getaway. We stumbled across the Oakridge estate almost by mistake and immediately fell in love with the tranquil location and the lodges with their 'up-side down' living and views out over the St Mellion golf courses and immediate countryside.

Our love of Oakridge is helped by the fact that a number of family members are keen golfers & were enticed by the superb golf on offer at St Mellion International Resort with the Jack Nicklaus designed 'Signature' course and the 'Kernow' course providing
varied, challenging & rewarding (at least some of the time!) golf in a superb setting.

The 13th hole of the 'Signature' course is just a short walk away across the bridge outside the lodge with the clubhouse and leisure club a short stroll away via the golf course buggy paths.

What makes this property unique

We provide two golf and two leisure passes to St Mellion which permit people to play golf on either the 'Signature' course or the 'Kernow' course whilst people enjoy the leisure facilities which include a 25m pool, leisure pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym, tennis courts, etc. These passes are complimentary for our guests and are included in the rental price and we hope that people appreciate the facilities and make good use of them during their stay.

BARS & RESTAURANTS
St Mellion incorporates a number of restaurants......
The An Boesti is a 2 AA-Rosette restaurant and serves fresh, local ingredients in a modern decor. There is also an adjoining bar to enjoy some pre or after dinner drinks.
The No.18 Bistro is a less formal offering providing all-day dining in a relaxed atmosphere, serving freshly ground coffee, afternoon tea, homemade desserts and a selection of healthy options.
The Nicklaus Bar overlooks the 18th green of the championship golf course. It’s the perfect spot to get together after a day of golfing at St Mellion. There is a wide selection of hot and cold food available along with light snacks.

In addition to the golf and leisure facilities, 12 Oakridge provides a superb base from which to explore the beautiful countryside with so much to see and do within just a short drive - there is far too much to list but just a few family favourites are Whitsand Bay, Mt Edgcumbe Country Park, Cotehele House & Quay and Antony House.
