Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, Golf Courses Porthcawl, Bridgend County - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

Royal Porthcawls entitlement to an honored place among the worlds best golf courses is usually confirmed by playing the first three holes that run alongside, and in places seem part of, the scalloped edge of Rest Bay. The beach can appear all rock and pebbles until the surfers sea recedes to reveal 300 yards of firm sand across which the prevailing westerly whips. It is by no means a course of fearsome length it doesnt have a fancy lighthouse, high dunes or deep ditches. The Club has hosted many amateur and professional events including 6 amateur championships and the Walker Cup. The Ryder Cup Wales Semors Open will be held here in 2010.
