Royal Porthcawl
Royal Porthcawl is by no means a course of fearsome length; it doesn’t have fancy lighthouse, high dunes or deep ditches. It doesn’t even have a tree. But it is never out of sight of the sea or blocked by the majestic view of Swansea Bay or out of reach of a wind that is particularly troublesome on the first three and last four holes.
The 18th is played directly towards the sea, the prevailing wind and the setting sun. When all those are in their glory, there are fewer finer finishes.

The National Course - Vale Resort
The National boasts some of the UK's finest scenery, a mixture of mature wooded areas, wide and narrow fairways and vast water and bunker features, all set in the spectacular countryside of Wales.
A course designed to be a challenging test for even the lowest of handicaps with the 2nd hole being the longest par 5 in Wales.

Southerndown
Bracken to the left of you, bracken to the right and a fairway rising up to the sky. The maestro Henry Cotton described the first here as one of the most difficult opening holes he’d encountered.
Need I say more……..the views are spectacular as well !!

Pyle & Kenfig
P&K possesses much higher dunes and deeper, disconcerting valleys in a layout that offers plenty of diversity.
The course is laid out in two loops of nine holes and although each half tests the golfer, the second nine poses more difficulties. As with all great courses ‘P & K’ finishes with three extremely testing holes. All over 400 yards, well bunkered and designed perfectly to challenge the very best of golfers
