The land on which the course was built was acquired by Dr. Pension Williams in the early 1920s and early excavations of the site identified a
holy well which allegedly dates from the third century which is located adjacent to the remains of
St Constantine's Chapel. The championship course was designed by
Harry Colt and opened for play in 1925. The club was subsequently acquired by
John C. Gammon together with another member in 1941 and subsequently acquired the whole of the club in 1955. The Gammon family have continued to oversee the management of the club since this date. In 2012 the club published a book detailing the history of the club titled 'Trevose Golf & Country Club – A Golfing Gem on the North Cornwall Coast' which included a foreword by
Peter Alliss. The championship course as regularly been ranked as one of the top links courses in England. ==Tournaments hosted==
