Readers of Today's Golfer have voted Cornwall golf destination St Mellion International Resort top in two major categories in their TG Travel Awards 2015. St Mellion triumphed in the Best Golf Course and Best Golf Hotel/Resort categories for the West of England.

The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at St Mellion (above) won the 'Best Golf Course in the West' category by an overwhelming majority, with 50% of all votes cast. The magazine said, "The Nicklaus Course is in many ways the ultimate test of parkland golf."
