Wales
Wales represents British golf's best-kept secret, offering championship-quality courses at exceptional value compared to Scotland's premium-priced venues. The principality boasts four courses ranked in the Great Britain & Ireland Top 100: Royal Porthcawl leads as Wales' highest-ranked course, followed by Pennard Golf Club, Royal St David's, and Aberdovey. Welsh golf's unique character stems from its diverse terrain, featuring traditional links along dramatic coastlines, distinctive "common land" courses across elevated moorland, and championship parkland venues.
