ABERDOVEY:

The course strategy asks for a variety of shots and infinite creativity. The hazards are numerous, deceptive and sometimes hidden. Like any great links course what you see is often not what you get, but it's never penal. No-matter their skill, each golfer will find their own 'line of charm' for the course. As with the great Scottish links, quirky features abound throughout the course e.g blind-shots, wooden railway sleepers, the railway itself that skirts the inland portion of the course.

The coastal setting with its ever changing tides and winds ensures that conditions alter on a frequent basis. Club selection is therefore all the more important. You will need every club in the bag - and probably more than one way to play them. Each of four par-3s all face a different direction. You first encounter one of the three par-5s well into the round at the 7th whilst the returning holes enjoy a tempting prospect of two in three holes at the 13th and 15th. There are 9 par-4s that can play over 400 yards but the timely interventions of the short 8th and 16th can set one's score. But it's best not to think of Aberdovey as one big challenge but 71 different adventures which you will undoubtedly want to take again.

NEFYN:

The Old Course

The Old Course opens with three par fours and a par five which run along the coastline before turning inland and a series of six holes which provide the golfer with the spectacular backdrop of the surrounding mountains. The remaining eight holes are played on The Point, a narrow peninsula with the sea on one side and sandy beaches on the other. Every hole calls for accurate shot making and in a few cases, some spectacular carries across coves and inlets. The New Course

Alternatively, after 10 holes of The Old Course, the golfer can continue on The New, with an opening par three which, depending on the wind, can be a wood or a medium iron. Thereafter, a series of longish par fours and a par five around a coastal inlet brings the golfer back to the 18th tee with its panoramic view of the entire course.

ROYAL ST DAVIDS:

Royal St. David's Golf Club with its famous championship links course has occupied the dune land between Harlech Castle and the sea Since its foundation in 1894. Apart from the quality of the holes and the severity of the test, the views of the Snowdon Mountains, the magnificent Castle and, at last, from the 16th tee, the Lleyn Peninsular across Tremadog Bay, make Harlech one of the finest situations of any course in Britain. "Royal St. David's is an exemplar site in respect of best practice. Turf on all playing surfaces is dominated by finer bent and fescue turf types and the benefits they convey are very apparent at this time. Putting surfaces are firm, smooth and incredibly fast for late March. The current management program and the results it is bringing with it is the perfect demonstration that greenkeeping is a study of infertility and that the best possible year round results are produced by promoting the finer grasses within a supportive and consistent club framework".

PENNARD:

Located 8 miles west of Swansea in the Gower Peninsula, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Golf has been played there since 1896, although the course owes most of its appeal today first to James Braid and then to C.K. Cotton.

The holes are routed over classically undulating and tumbling linksland, full of hummocks, hillocks and hollows and pocked with dunes large and small; in sum, exactly what we might hope to find beside the shore.

Yet this exceptional terrain is not beside the shore - It is two hundred feet above it. No wonder Pennard has been called "the links in the sky."

SOUTHERNDOWN:

Southerndown is unique. Nature has crafted an unusual ‘limestone-heath’ on which we play our golf. The massive limestone outcrop, which rises over 70 metres from the sea and gives us such superb views, accounts for the course’s free drainage; the overlying soil supports acid-loving heathland vegetation such as heather, bracken and gorse; and the westerly winds have deposited centuries of sand to give the front eight holes a springy, links-style character.

ROYAL PORTHCAWL:

Ranked in most peoples top 10 courses, Royal Porthcawl GC will provide even the most established player with lasting memories... some for the right reason and some not! The first 3 holes are contoured against Rest Bay and are open to the prevailing westerly winds. Although there is some respite on the par 5's you will come away from "The Royal" with a very good card indeed if you have played to your handicap. No trees nor water but much gorse and many a typical links pot bunker. The 18th takes you toward the sea, sunset and treasured memories.
