Orignally designed by legendary golfer, James Braid, in the 1920's, Budock Vean Hotel's challenging golf course is set in mature parkland and is playable throughout the year.

James Braid was born in 1870 in Earlsferry, Fife, Scotland. He won the Open Championship five times in 1901, 1905, 1906, 1908 and 1910. Braid also won the British Professional Match Play four times and the French Open once. He retired from competitive golf in 1912, and his great passion after his retirement was course design.
