South Wales

The jewel in the crown is the famous Celtic Manor Resort and the three onsite courses found here. The 2010 course, a former host of the Ryder Cup is the standout course, however the Montgomerie and Roman Road are excellent tracks and would make a great three course package. The Vale Resort, located on the outskirts of Cardiff, features 2 cracking courses and is the perfect base for a short golf weekend. Finally Marriott St Pierre is located just across the Welsh boarder and comes highly regarded from every golfer that challenges the Mathern and the Old Course.

The main cities of Wales, both Swansea and Cardiff, can be easily reached from England and offer an incredible nightlife and a superb atmosphere for when you are not challenging some of Wales’ best golf courses. Here you will find an array of pubs and restaurants that are ready to take your order, as well as a sense of history and plenty no golfing activities.

The amount of championship standard courses positioned on the South coast is endless, with the majority featuring in Wales’ top 10. The rolling countryside and rugged coastline have inspired some beautiful course designs with panoramic views on every turn. Royal Porthcawl, the Number 1 course in Wales and former host of the British Seniors Open, is an incredible mix of links and heathland, which promises an unforgettable golfing experience.

Other courses which are worthy to note are the Nicklaus design of Machynys, the prestigious Ashburnham Golf offering one of the finest links layouts in the country, Pennard Golf Club, which offers spectacular views of Three Cliffs bay or perhaps Gower Golf Club set in the awe inspiring Gower Peninsula.

Whether you are on a break at a luxury golf resort or touring numerous courses, the South of Wales is the ideal golfing destination.
