Porthpean Golf Club Sold
Porthpean Golf Club, a proprietary club established in 1992, was put up for sale at the end of last year and now has a new owner.
The property, previously owned by Gary & Kathryn Tucker, was offered as a retirement sale and comprises an 18-hole, 5,253-yard, par 67 golf course with a clubhouse, which many will know has stunning views over St Austell Bay. The front nine plays though inland mature parkland/ woodland, with the back holes opening up to a coastal setting with those great views.
