Pennard Golf Club
Overview
Situated high on the coast of South Wales, Pennard Golf Club offers a special golfing experience. Known as the “Links in the Sky,” this links course is on elevated land, giving you amazing views of Three Cliffs Bay and the Gower Peninsula. With its rolling fairways, natural sand dunes, and a cool coastal breeze, Pennard is a must-visit for golfers who want a fun and challenging round.
Course Layout
Pennard Golf Club has a layout that resembles a classic links course. It features firm fairways, quick-running grass, and well-placed bunkers. Even though it’s not by the sea, the course feels like a seaside links because of its sandy soil and open land. Originally designed by James Braid and later improved by Donald Steel, the 18-hole course is over 6,700 yards long from the back tees. This makes it a tough challenge for skilled golfers, but it’s still fun and accessible for those with higher handicaps.
Standout Holes
Each hole at Pennard offers a new challenge, but some are truly unforgettable. The par-5 7th hole is a favourite, featuring steep hills and stunning views that take your breath away. Another memorable hole is the par-3 16th, where you need to make a careful tee shot over a deep gully to reach a raised green, which is often affected by tricky coastal winds.
