It was in 1967 that Brecon Golf Club captain, Leslie Watkins and vice-captain John Morrell, organized the purchase of Penoyre Park (along with its magnificent Bath stone Georgian mansion) to accommodate a new 18-hole golf course and clubhouse. Unfortunately, the Penoyre Golf and Country Club, as it was called, ran into serious financial difficulties in the mid 1970s, resulting in the loss of the mansion but, thanks to a massive fund raising effort, the course was saved, a new clubhouse constructed and the club renamed. Situated on the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and famed for its stunning scenery, the course at Cradoc Golf Club can best be described, in the words of one golf commentator, as “an arboretum set down in scenery that can only be described as drop-dead gorgeous”. One of the best holes on the estate is “Rorke’s Drift,” the par four 6th, which extends to 451 yards from the back tees and is rated stroke index 1 on the scorecard. The hole is played towards Penoyre House – now sub-divided into modern apartments – and the fairway slopes left to right, with out of bounds all the way down the left and behind the hole. |
Reviews for Cradoc
A pleasant enjoyable golf course that won’t disappoint always great value and a warm welcome. It’s been a few years since I last played it and I feel a little bad only giving it 3.5 rating but I have played many world class course so need to keep room for them above and I rate (Newport,Whitchuch, Cardiff ,Radyr, Creigiau and Glamorganshire all above )
But don’t let that stop you playing it.

Very friendly staff, amazing price for a winters rate, weather held up very nicely, condition was very good considering the amount of rain. Greens with plenty of grass but kept well. Bunkers were under GUR understandable at this time of the year.
