Vale
of Glamorgan - GLAMORGAN
Wales National course
(7,413 yards, par 73)
The Wales National was opened in June 2003 by Sir Steve Redgrave.
It is one of Europe's newest championship courses and - at 7,413 yards
off the championship tees - it's one of the longest outside of the
USA. The course offers a mixture of mature wooded areas, wide and
narrow fairways and vast water and bunker features. This is all set
within local beautiful Welsh countryside, amongst an abundance of
wildlife including badgers, swans, rabbits and hawks.
The par 73 Wales National has already hosted a Sky-televised Euro-Pro
Tour event and with greens constructed to USGA standard, the course
is designed to be a challenging test for even the lowest of handicaps.
Golf World magazine rates its 16th hole as one of the top 10 par 4s
in the UK, whilst the 2nd hole is the longest par 5 in Wales.
Lake course
(6,438 yards, par 72)
The well-established and aptly named par 72 Lake Course – which
has staged numerous Wales and West PGA professional championships
- is dominated by a 20-acre lake and has water coming into play on
12 of its holes. Its 8th hole looks down over the largest heronry
in Wales. Its unique signature hole, The Island Green (12th), is ranked
one of the UK's top golf holes.
