The original golf club was opened in 1980, with a hotel development and clubhouse extension recently built. The hotel and golf club is located within the establishment of Lanhydrock House, one of Cornwall's most popular attractions, with a family history dating back over centuries.

The Golf Club
Lanhydrock Golf Club, as it was originally known, was owned and built by Jente Mandhavi in 1980. It would be the first golf club to serve the Bodmin area since World War 2, where a previous course had existed but was torn up for farm land. In later years, the club fell into financial troubles, and was eventually owned by administators. The club was later bought by the Bond family, a well known wealthy family which owned much farmland and other golf clubs in the county, including Looe, and the world famous St Mellion International, which it most famous for it's Jack Nicklaus designed course. The club is still currently owned by the Bond family, in particular, Graham and Clare Bond. The club now has upwards of 150 members, which boasts a Cornwall Bowl and Frank Wills team.

Richard O' Hanlon is the current resident golf professional, who also competes in the South West region, and won the South West Order of Merit in 2008.

In 2006, work began to build a 3 Star hotel ajoined to the golf club, which today caters for thousands of golf tourists every year. The clubhouse was also extended, with a new lobby area, golf shop, refurbished members,conference room and changing rooms, and a Bistro extension which caters mainly for hotel guests.
