Best Golf Courses in Wales

Being surrounded on every side by 3 powerhouses of golf in Scotland, Ireland and England, Wales is often overlooked as a golfing destination, a travesty, considering the truly world-class golf that is on offer there. Wales has played host to a number of international tournaments, including the Ryder Cup in 2010 at Celtic Manor and Royal Porthcawl which has hosted the Senior Open Championship.

Wales, with miles of charming coastline and acres of untouched countryside, is full of hidden gems that make for some epic golf, a real rising star in the golfing world.

Occupying the same stretch of glorious coastline as the best course in Wales, Royal Porthcawl, means expectations are sky high for Pyle & Kenfig, the course rises to that challenge.

'P & K', as the locals call refer to it, has a wonderful variety of views, including that of the Gower Peninsula and the Welsh Mountains. The track is a true links, rare in Wales, and rolls across the natural hillocks and valleys beautifully.

"The winds here can be very strong, the back 9 is incredible with massive sand dunes and amazing views."

The Wales National is superbly conditioned, thanks in part to its USGA specification greens, with its collection of water hazards and acres of sand trouble is never too far away.

Measuring 7,400+ yards from the back tees it is challenging, yes, but the Wales National is a wonderful treat that every golfer will enjoy.

"Some fairways are really wide, some are like bowling alleys, so there’s a great variety of tee shots to consider & with a tonne of water in play, particularly around the signature stretch of holes from the 13th onwards, the course really keeps you on your toes from start to finish!"
