Welcome to golfing heaven.  With over 200 golf courses to choose from throughout the Principality, Wales really provides true golfing connoisseurs and newer players with everything they are looking for when planning a break to the 'Land of My Fathers'.

Wales has many excellent courses, beautiful surroundings go hand in hand with a warm welcome where ever you choose to tee up.  The choice is outstanding and ranges from picturesque parkland courses to more challenging downland links courses.

An increasing number of golfers from abroad have been discovering that Wales has more fairway pleasure to offer than they ever expected - and the same can be said for Welsh golfers who have been making the same voyage of discovery because, to be truthful, we had been loath to share our golfing secrets even between ourselves.

The area of South Wales plays host to some real historic milestones within the game of golf.  The Glamorganshire Golf Club, situated just outside the magnificent and beautiful capital city of Wales, Cardiff, has a special affiliation with the great game.  It was here that a gentleman by the name of Mr Frank Stableford designed a brand new format of scoring back in 1898.  The Stableford points system is now played world wide by golfers.

Of course, its not just amateur golfers that are attracted to the area, some of the most famous professional golfers have shown off their golfing skills at some famous venues over the years, Royal Porthcawl has hosted many tournaments and has seen the world's best golfers battle their way around this classic links course.  In 1995 it hosted the Walker Cup match between Great Britain & Ireland and America.  This was one of the last amateur appearances of the great Tiger Woods.

The Celtic Manor golf complex is a relatively new addition to the area.  The complex consists of three courses all of a championship standard.  The jewel in the crown at the Manor is the newly completed Wentwood Hills course which has already hosted the European Amateur Championships, the Wales Open and has been awarded the Ryder Cup in 2010.  The 1991 US Masters champion Ian Woosnam is the attached professional to the club and has had a hand in the design of all three courses along with the world famous designers, the Trent Jones family. A trip to the Celtic Manor is a must when on holiday in the area. See our weekend special deals.

With all this situated in Wales, a golfing holiday to the 'Land of My Fathers' is one that once experienced will never be forgotten. A return visit will be a must.

Wales really is golfing heaven, and to experience it, contact us and let us organise your itinerary.
