Newport Golf Club

Founded in 1903, Newport Golf Club is one of the best parkland courses in South Wales and it’s set some 300-feet above sea level among the birch, beech and oak trees of the Llwyni Wood. There are far reaching views of the surrounding countryside from both the clubhouse and the course itself. It’s a pretty place to spend some time and play golf.

Host to a number of important Welsh and National Amateur events, Newport Golf Club is founded on solid traditions and is highly regarded within Welsh golf. But you’ll need to be a member of a golf club to get a game here, so remember to either take your handicap certificate or a letter of introduction from your club secretary.

The topography is gently undulating, parkland turf is lush and bunkering is clear and strategic. It’s a course you can retreat to and enjoy when you’ve suffered sufficiently from the windswept seaside links courses. Newport is pleasantly sheltered from the elements by the woodland and the rolling hills. It’s a veritable oasis.

Newport has hosted a number of important amateur tournaments down the years: the Women’s Home Internationals (won by England) in 1975; The Womens Amateur (won by Emma Duggleby) in 1994; and the Girls Amateur (won by Marianne Skarpnord) in 2003.
