The nearest championship links-style course to the Celtic Manor Ryder Cup venue. Unique! A links-style course set on a limestone heath with stunning panoramic views of South Wales.
No trees or water hazards here – just gorse, bracken ( - and sheep!) with the occasional breath of a sea breeze. A challenge for any golfer – that’s why so many of the best amateurs take part every April in the famous 72-hole championship event, the Duncan Putter.
Peter Alliss referred to Southerndown as “One of the finest tests of golf in Wales”. From the first hole, which Henry Cotton famously described as “one of the most difficult opening holes in golf”, to the 18th signature hole with its memorable split-level fairways, Southerndown will provide the serious golfer with an unforgettable experience. A course for the connoisseur!

Established in 1905, Llanishen Golf Club is a parkland course situated on the hillside in north Cardiff with panoramic views of the city, the Bristol Channel and Somerset coast line.
The course is not long, with a pleasant variety on left to right and right to left shaped holes combined with small target areas from tee to fairway and fairway to green, it does present a challenge to all handicap players. Following an extensive 3 year drainage project, all 18 Greens have been drained and will provide a much drier golfing experience in wet conditions.
The clubhouse was rebuilt in 1995 and offers all the usual facilities including a club bar, lounge bar, restaurant with magnificent views, fully stocked professional shop and a full sized snooker table.
A warm welcome is assured to all visiting groups and societies.

A modern links championship golf course, Machynys Peninsula has been designed to challenge the best players in championship conditions - and yet still be enjoyable for the higher handicapper, by utilising up to five tees per hole.
The shaping of the £3.5m course layout has included the creation of 25 acres of new lakes - salt and fresh water - 12 miles of irrigation pipes and six miles of drainage pipes, to ensure the course is in top condition all year round.
Gary Nicklaus - who has been overseeing the project design on behalf of his father, the legendary Jack Nicklaus - has identified some of his favourite and most challenging holes as the 4th, 5th, 16th, and 18th. Naming the fourth, "the most unique, a short-ish par 4 but a very challenging and a difficult one nonetheless."
He goes onto say: "The 16th, a par 4 that is played across the lake from right behind the clubhouse is probably one of the most beautiful holes on the course. The view from the green of the whole bay is spectacular, whether the tide is in or out."
