Pennard Golf Club

Highly Commended - Golf World Top 100 UK Golf Courses 2008

They call Pennard the 'links in the sky' because although it has all the trappings of a seaside links course it is perched high on a cliff-top west of Swansea. This brings a double benefit to the lovers of links golf - the sand-based fairways offer the usual pleasures and its lofty position provides outstanding views.

There is also considerable advantage that it's usually playable when other courses succumb to the elements. Apart from all that, it is an excellent golf course and often plays host to big championships of the amateur game in Wales.

Founded in 1896, Pennard was designed by the great James Braid whose skill is behind many of Wales' best layouts and has been developed to meet modern needs with extended tees and improved fairways and greens.

It proves very popular with American golfers and is often included in packages from the USA which also takes in Royal Porthcawl and Tenby. A course has to be good to be in that company and to produce exceptional golfers such as Vicky Thomas, one of the best British women players who represented her country in a record six Curtis Cups.
