A visually stunning, and deliveries golf that reaches the highest levels in both challenge and fun.

  Looking across the crumpled fairways that cascade down to the beaches 100 feet below, full of walkers and their furry companions all feels well with the world.  It’s ‘links in the sky’ moniker fits perfectly as it weaves across the dunes that seem to have been injected upwards from their...

Having grown up in Swansea for 7 years, I was really looking forward to this one.

We drove from London that morning full of optimism for a week long golf trip starting off at Pennard, "The Links in the Sky" as they describe it. However, after a solid breakfast in the clubhouse surrounded by incredibly welcoming members we knew on the first tee we were going to be drenched. In tru...

Played here on a warm and sunny April late afternoon-early evening and probably the most magical golf I’ve experienced. Pictures and videos do not do justice to the epic scale of the property and landscape.In the best way it’s golf as a hike hitting a ball about with a stick, with stunning views on ...

Blind tee shots to undulating fairways with heather and gorse lining the fairways made playing this course all about the luck of the bounce.

Greens quick and true with huge slopes and the clubhouse and set up is very good… BUT the fairways have huge slopes on them and were bone dry and with so many blind tee and second shots good shots which were on fairway marker lines were never seen again as most fairways lined with thick heather and ...

Pennard, the "links in the sky' served up a James Braid masterpiece, utilisng the wild topography to superb effect, taking you on a journey through rumpled fairways, pitches, dunes and landscape that at times felt more moorland than links.

Oh, and dont forget the amazing views down towards Three Cliffs Bay to boot. Playing with a member was invaluable, not just for the fascinating history, especially around hole changes and work by more modern architects on the course, but also for just finding your way around as without him, I'd have...

Porthcawl is the best course in Wales, but Pennard is my favorite.

0 Likes

Why? It is a course that probably has the bumpiest fairways in the UK/Ireland. This means uneven lies so shot-making is imperative. The course plays firm and fast so you get to watch your ball interact with the fairways like it is surfing them. It has a few tee shots that are blind and some approach...

I wanted to rate Pennard higher because it has some great holes full of character but in the end its problems held me back.

The problems come from the many blind shots and the massive humps and hollows that mean what you think was a good drive may never be seen again and you will be totally bewildered as to how such a good shot has you headed back to the tee to play again. Navigating is tricky. You will generally be ok a...

Pennard – A James Braid Masterpiece

Often nicknamed ‘The Links in the Sky, ’Pennard is a unique test of golf that will challenge any level of golfer.

 Situated on the cliff tops of the Gower Peninsula, offering some of the finest views from any golf course in Great Britain & Ireland, Pennard captured my heart even before I stepped onto the first tee. The course is situated on a historic yet rugged piece of land, featuring medieval c...

Pennard probably has the most quirk of any course I've played so far in the GB&I top 100 and I can't wait to go back.

0 Likes

The course is full of blind shots, rumpled fairways and wild greens and definitely rewards repeat play as I feel I lost around 10 shots through the round from not really knowing where to play to. As they say the shot's only blind once!I think there are a few holes that might rub people up the wrong ...

Playing in December and the condition was top class.

Yes, there are a few blind tee shots and a blind second on the first but part of the charm. The condition of the course is a different level this year in the winter. I always enjoy this course, so I am hooked. There was a temp tee lateran but it was fine to avoid some work being done on course. Hone...
