Ashburnham is one of the finest and oldest golf courses in Wales, founded in 1894, with fine views over Carmarthen Bay.  A number of important events have been hosted here, including the PGA Championship. The first two and the last two holes are somewhat out of character with the rest, having an inland feel. But the holes in between are the real thing – undiluted linksland.  By the time you reach the 3rd hole, you’re running parallel to the sea and often into the teeth of the prevailing wind. This historic links is an absolute delight and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Despite being the highest ranked course in Wales, Royal Porthcawl remains relatively unknown.The course has a magnificent setting sloping down to the seashore. The absence of sand hills usually found on links courses enables the golfer to see the sea from every hole and to enjoy memorable views south to Somerset and Exmoor, and northwest across Swansea Bay to the Gower Peninsula. With holes facing into every point of the compass, the player is always tested by the wind and will probably need every club in the bag.

Originally designed by Willie Fernie in 1905 Southerndown takes full advantage of its natural features. Undulating fairways and tight lies give the course a downland/links character.  Bracken and gorse punish wayward shots and on windy days golfers need to negotiate the hazards with care. There are many longer courses, but few with a finer set of par-threes.  Equally memorable are the closing holes, usually played into the wind.  The 18th in particular with its intimidating gorse and renowned split-level fairway will live long in the memory.
