8-bay floodlit driving range

Having played several of the more "exclusive" clubs in the Truro area, I remain a big fan of Killiow.
I think the main reason is that the round, which takes you around the old parkland estate grounds, is a real journey - none of that sense you get at some places that you're just zigzagging back and forth across a field.
The holes have real character without being too lanscaped or contrived, and there are lots of big old oak trees to get in your way. Being set in a steep valley, it's also much more sheltered from the wind and other elements than many places I've played.
The only criticism I'd have is some of the attention to detail - the greens aren't the best I've played, some of the bunkers have seashells in, etc. -but for me that's more than made up for by the character and challenge of the course, and the relaxed atmosphere in the clubhouse. They're a friendly bunch - not snooty like the local places that throw you off for the wrong coloured socks.
For me, just the right blend. I've tried the competition, and I'll be renewing my membership this year.
