Royal Porthcawl Golf Club

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.
