Royal Porthcawl Golf Club

Played May 2025.

Royal Porthcawl was the last on our Wales golf trip and we were lucky to actually play as we had been rained out two days before at Pennard and then blown away at Southerndown.

Royal Porthcawl this last week has deservedly had the spotlight thrown on it, and for me was the real winner of the Women's Open despite the superb performance of Yamashita.

Royal Porthcawl certainly earns it's reputation as #1 in Wales as well as being a top 100 on Earth.

Awesome

Played on a sunny's September day last year and the excitement starts from the off with some great (and tough) opening holes hugging the coast.

One of my real favourites that I had the pleasure of returning to once again recently.

Unforgiveable halfway house closed on a mad busy day.

It doesn't take long to realise that you're heading into a round that is going to be very special.

Wales is almost unique in that there is almost unanimous agreement on the countries best course and that is the outstanding and world class Royal Porthcawl.

A really classy course.
