Pennard Golf Club

“Day 3, course 4 of my Wales golf experience. The course called The links in the Sky. When we arrived parking lot was quite full and course pretty busy. Since we already warmed up, we skip the training facilities, however all is next to clubhouse. I liked the clubhouse very much, there were place for golfers and also nice restaurant seating area. The best part there is terrace, where from you can overlook big part of the course. Must say that as many other courses through this one os also few public pathways so be careful to avoid hitting when they walk through, pity is that many of them are tourists who has no clue about how to behave on gold course. Lets advance the ball. Opening hole is not hard par , where its still easy to navigate to green since the green is visible. No need to say that we had course dry to death so I suggest to play irons and links style golf to avoid troubles. Slowly approaching 2nd hole very beautiful par 3 I would say one of the nicest. Greens here are protected from cows with wire so be careful of electric shocks :). Next hole is already becoming challenge, not being where is the green you slowly adjusting to links game, hoard to navigate when everything is brown and greens protected with deep bunkers and grassy hills. Course is slowly leading you to 1st tourist attraction next to it. Its castle ruins which are also pictured in course logo. Front nine ends close to clubhouse which is not very common on links golf. Back nine starts with quite interesting par 5. By the way we lost one member of our foursome, our friend got overheated from sun and decided to leave us after 9th. Back nine is more challenging from my perspective and give more interesting shots. Course is slowly bringing us to most picturesque part of the area. Holes next to cliff with overlook of nice beach area and sea.Hole 16th and 17th tee box will give you beautiful view and during the sunset it was beautiful. Obviously 16th is the signature hole but I would say there is many nice holes which can substitute if you do not enjoy this one. Anyway I enjoyed the course , each hole is different, its not easy, its a pity that we did not reach it when the fairways would be bit greener, however we still enjoy it and I suggest to visit. Must also mention that we grab lunch in the bar area and it was very tasty and the whole atmosphere were really nice. Thank you for great hospitality, for sure will come back one day.”

“Played at Pennard Golf Club in Wales on a beautiful sunny day — possibly the most enjoyable and interesting golf course I’ve ever played. The views over the coast were absolutely stunning, and the course blended naturally into the landscape, creating a truly authentic links atmosphere. It’s not an overly polished luxury-style course, but that’s exactly what gives it charm and character. This is a course where you really need to trust the aiming markers and local advice. If you don’t, your ball can easily end up in unbelievable places and make the next shot very difficult. That challenge made the round even more fun and memorable. The weather was perfect, the scenery was incredible, and every hole felt different. A truly unique and challenging course.”

“One of the best and the hardest golf course I have ever played. Fantastic links golf with great costal views. Fab greens in immaculate conditions. Driving range next to the club house and fully equipped pro shop. Excellent club house, very friendly and competent staff, great variety of meals (also for vegetarians and vegans!). 100+% recommendation to play this course!”
