Golfing holidays and golf breaks in Wales.
Vale Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort
Hensol Park, Nr Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan, CF72 8JY
The Vale is home to the Wales PGA and can boast, not one, but two championship courses.
Location
Situated 15 minutes from Cardiff City centre - 20 minutes from Cardiff International Airport. 3 minutes from J34 of M4.
Golf
The Vale Resort is now home to 2 championship-standard golf courses. Highly regarded for their natural beauty, both golf courses offer UK leading facilities and some of the finest golf in Britain!
The Wales National - The award winning Wales National Golf Course is destined to be one of the great UK inland courses; mature woodland, fearsome bunkers, tricky water features and USGA standard greens combine to make a challenging round of golf.
The Wales National is a UK golf course of distinction, one of the UK and Europe's newest championship golf courses and - at 7,433 yards off the championship tees - it's one of the longest golf courses outside of the USA.
The golf course boasts some of the UK's finest scenery, a mixture of mature wooded areas, wide and narrow fairways and vast water and bunker features, all set in the spectacular countryside of Wales, with its abundance of wildlife including badgers, swans, rabbits and hawks.
The Lake Course - 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 UK golf courses top golf holes.
Accommodation
The location of The Vale Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort is luxury itself. Nestled in over 600 acres of beautiful countryside, it is difficult to imagine that you are only minutes from the M4 motorway and less than 20 minutes from Cardiff itself. The Resort was once part of the estate of Hensol Castle (which has recently become one of the many facilities available for conferences and weddings at The Vale), a stately home built originally in the mid 17th century. The views of the castle and lake from certain parts of The Lakes Course are considered among the best in the area. Every aspect of the Resort has been designed to maximise comfort and convenience, the majority of the 143 bedrooms affording superb views of the golf course or surrounding countryside. The leisure and sports facilities are by far the best in Wales - with a state of the art gymnasium, luxury 20m indoor pool, fitness studios, squash and tennis courts, sauna, steamroom and a whirlpool bath. In addition to all this, The Vale Spa (the largest in Wales) offers individual therapies, including holistic, therapeutic and beauty treatments, as well as special programmes providing guests with the ultimate in Spa treatments.
