About Royal Porthcawl Golf Club

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. It doesn't even have a tree. But it is never out of sight of the sea or blocked from the majestic view of Swansea Bay or out of reach of a wind that is particularly troublesome on the first three and last four holes. The 18th is played directly towards the sea, the prevailing wind and the setting sun. When all those are in their glory, there are few finer finishes. This is the quality that made it a worthy arena for the 1995 Walker Cup. This Championship Links course has a magnificent setting on the seashore between Cardiff and Swansea with memorable views south to Somerset and northwest to the Gower Peninsula. With holes facing into every point of the compass. The player is tested by the wind and an undulating course and will probably need every club in the bag.

Royal Porthcawl Golf Course 1/1
Holes: 18
The initial course - 9 holes - was built in 1891. Porthcawl grew quickly and in 1895 a lease was signed with the Margam estate for another 9 holes - on what is now - in principle, the site of the present course. It was soon decided to abandon the original nine holes and build 18 holes and a clubhouse on the recently acquired land. Porthcawl receive

Royal Porthcawl Golf Course
Het clubhuis van deze club is het alsof je terug in de tijd gaat. Een soort barak van buiten met binnen foto’s en clubfauteuils en een chique gedekte aparte diningroom. Er is vanuit het clubhuis een uitzicht op de -vandaag- rustige zee. Deze club dateert uit 1891 en heeft regels uit die tijd. Het viel mij op dat er geen vrouwen speelden en ik werd er op geattendeerd dat …

Royal Porthcawl Golf Course
Behind its grand gates, iRoyal Porthcawl easily justifies its position as the only Welsh course in the world's top 100. After a friendly welcome, we spent an hour unwinding with a drink and baguette on a table overlooking the sea, teeming with families enjoying the summer sun on its glorious beach. It was a bit of a trek to its practice ground before we returned to ta…

Royal Porthcawl Golf Course
An utterly fabulous golf course, one of the UK’s great links. A thrilling ride from the off, which is three strong par 4’s that run alongside the beach, right through to the end. The 18th being an interesting downhill par 4 playing across the first fairway, past the clubhouse & down to the beach. The 4 ‘short’ holes are superb and all very different in design, length and …

Royal Porthcawl Golf Course
Royal Porthcawl has been on my play list for a long time and I was very happy to tick it off early June 2023. I was one of the first people there since we were allowed to tee off before the members and have the course to ourselves. It is hard to give a rating for the clubhouse, from the outside it looks like a couple of buildings/containers connected together but inside i…

Royal Porthcawl Golf Course
I played Royal Porthcawl as part of a golf trip where we played four courses in the Bridgend region. This was the 3rd course I played. Royal Porthcawl really lived up to its reputation. It was all I expected, and more! We were extremely fortunately with the weather. The day before we played Royal Porthcawl we had a lot of rain when we played Pyle & Kenfig, but this day …
