Royal Porthcawl Golf Course
 This is probably the finest course in Wales with very little between Royal St. David’s to the north. A true test of links with hints of heathland that’s set overlooking the ocean enabling you to see the sea from hole. Breath taking sights abound with views across the Bristol Channel to Somerset, Swansea Bay and the Gower peninsula.
It rightly deserves to be categorised as one of the greatest championship links in the British Isles and only for lack of space would it be an Open venue for sure.

Host to the 1995 Walker Cup, the Amateur Championship, Curtis Cup and many more.

Description
The choice of courses in England is almost endless for the discerning golf visitor. There are mighty seaside links such as those of Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake,where the Amateur Championship was born and where Bobby Jones won the Open Championship in his historic Grand Slam year of 1930. There is plenty of historic interest in English golf, with the oldest existing course in England and Westward Ho in Devon. The club was formed there in 1864 and today sheep continue to grace the ancient links on this common land.
