Our Heritage — One Club, One Coastline, 100 Years in the Making

The Origins of a Legacy

Trevose Golf Club opened in 1925 with its Championship Course designed by the legendary Harry S. Colt. Set against the dramatic North Cornwall coastline, the course quickly drew attention for its pure links challenge and natural beauty. In 1941, member John C. Gammon acquired the club, laying the groundwork for one of the world’s few family-owned golf resorts. His passion for golf and hospitality would come to shape everything that followed.

Family, Foundations and Community

With John Gammon as sole owner from 1955, Trevose entered a golden era defined by family values and warm, coastal hospitality. More than just a golf course, it became a retreat for those seeking a relaxed, high-quality experience. Under John’s leadership, Trevose quietly built a loyal following, setting the tone for the generations to come.

Vision and Expansion

In the early 1960s, John’s son, Peter Gammon, began to steer Trevose into its next chapter. The introduction of the Headland and Short Courses opened the doors to players of all levels, while ongoing improvements modernised the facilities without compromising the original Colt layout. Trevose was becoming a true golf destination — expansive, inclusive, and thoughtfully evolving.

From Club to Coastal Resort

As Trevose’s reputation grew, so did its ambition. The resort expanded its accommodation and embraced a more modern guest experience. Careful enhancements preserved the Championship Course’s integrity while elevating its condition and play. National events like the Brabazon Trophy put Trevose on the map, and the club’s distinct blend of tradition and innovation began to define its identity.

The Future, Designed

As Trevose enters its second century, it’s evolving into more than a golf destination — it’s becoming a way of life. Under Nick Gammon’s leadership, a new era of wellness, sustainability, and lifestyle-led experiences is taking shape.

From eco-lodges and a wellness gym to modern dining and digital upgrades, everything is designed for the next generation of members and guests. Trevose is no longer just a place to play — it’s a place to belong, to breathe, and to return to. A sanctuary for modern living on the edge of the Atlantic.
