The Royal Porthcawl Links Golf Break is the perfect package for the links golf enthusiast, your opportunity to play 3 of the finest links courses in South Wales: Royal Porthcawl, Southerndown and Pyle & Kenfig with all courses within 20 minutes drive of each other. This is the perfect golf break for your group of golfers that want to have minimum drive times to the courses.

The 3 courses are all quite different links, Royal Porthcawl Links is right on the coast at Rest Bay in Porthcawl where the sea is visible from every hole. Royal Porthcawl has hosted several Senior Opens and in 2021 will host the Ladies British Open. Tight fairways and immaculate approaches are a feature of the course along with a unique design, the course turning on itself all the time requiring all shot types to play the course well.

Southerndown Golf Club perched on the the cliffs of Ogmore by Sea overlooks the town of Porthcawl and the Merthyr Mawr dune complex. A fantastic setting for a quality links golf course. The common land has grazing sheep throughout the course which add to its charm. The wind plays a huge part in this layout with the prevailing south westerly making for some challenging drives – not least on the 18th which leads down to the club house – often straight back into the wind.

Pyle and Kenfig Links by contrast runs along the coast virtually adjoining Royal Porthcawl on its famous back nine layout. The course runs through the dunes of kenfig nature reserve, and features spectacular views across the Bristol Channel from the front nine. Of the three links courses the greens are magnificent and the envy of many local clubs.

South Wales Links Golf Break

2 Nights, 3 Rounds  

 South Wales Links Golf

Come and play South Wales Links Golf, pick any 3 of these 5 fantastic links golf courses:

Ashburnham, Machynys, Pennard, Pyle & Kenfig and Southerndown.

Our Favourite Hole at:

Ashburnham – Par 3 16th with the railway embankment behind the green, and the tee situated high above. Choosing the right club is always a task here, considering the wind and the elavation difference.

Machynys – 18th – Par 5 over water down back towards the clubhouse, 2 good shots can reward with a birdie but first you have to carry the water and then play a sound 2nd shot.

Pennard – 7th Par 4 – with Pennard Castle on your right and some spectacular views across 3 cliffs bay.

Pyle & Kenfig – 13th Hole – a dog leg par 4 easy some days – but treacherous dunes lie in wait for the poor tee shot making it easy to notch up a double or triple bogey.

Southerndown 5th – Par 3 across the valley and old quarry to a green dug into the bank.

*Include Royal Porthcawl for a Supplement*
