| Golfing in South Wales |
South Wales is a rich
mixture – famous valleys with industrial pasts
snake northwards from the coastal plain where the
major cities of Cardiff and Swansea are to be found.
Cardiff is a vibrant and handsome capital city,
while Swansea, home to a once mighty steel industry,
enjoys an enviable location at the head of the glorious
Gower Peninsular.
Royal Porthcawl is generally acknowledged as the
finest course in Wales, with no weak holes and fast,
true greens. The views from the grassy fairways
of nearby Southerndown are, however, even better.
The links of Pennard have inspired eulogies from
many a famous golf writer while Tenby, dating from
1888, is the oldest links in Wales. Celtic Manor
on the other hand is one of the newer courses but
already confirmed as a future Ryder Cup venue. |
