Eden Project creators tee up to open ‘edible’ and green golf course

Team admit Gillyflower is not the first but hope it encourages a more sustainable approach to golfing

The views are spectacular, taking in a lovely Cornish river, a ruined castle and the rooftops of an ancient town while the golf is pleasantly challenging, with tight fairways and undulating greens.

But what makes Gillyflower golf course in Lostwithiel different is that every square metre of non-playing surface will be used to grow fruit and vegetables or encourage flora and fauna.
