Its curiously alluring contradiction of American target golf and rolling Cornish sward has guaranteed enduring fondness for St Mellion. Yet that hasn’t stopped owners Crown Golf, from recently ploughing £20m into the resort. But what hasn’t changed is the brilliantly boisterous nature of Jack’s first UK course.
