Royal Porthcawl (Championship Links, Par 72)
Wales finest championship links course. 15th in the Golf Digest Rankings. The status of the course is sustained by the many prestigious professional and amateur events held at the club over the years. Michael Williams of the Daily Telegraph summed it all up with; "Royal Porthcawl epitomises all that is best about the game, as it once was, even down to a creaking clubhouse that is as unchanging as the magnificent links and unrivalled hospitality."

The Celtic Manor-2010 Ryder Cup Course (Parkland, Par 72)
The new course built for staging The Ryder Cup in 2010 opened for play in July 2007. The first course to be built specifically for golfs greatest team tournament, it measures a robust 7,493 yards off the back tees and has a par of 71.
With water hazards on half of its holes, the course has six signature holes and presents many more memorable tests and risk-and-reward dilemmas. One of the features of the spectacular new course is its variety with many of the earlier holes having a links-like feel with some long rough and greenside swales, before the middle section of the course reveals the full extent of the lake-lined challenge.
A tough finishing stretch culminates in a real sting in the tail at the 18th.

Pennard (Links, Par 71)
Pennard Golf Club, located 8 miles west of Swansea in the Gower Peninsula, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Golf has been played there since 1896, although the course owes most of its appeal today first to James Braid and then to C.K. Cotton. The holes are routed over classically undulating and tumbling linksland, full of hummocks, hillocks and hollows and pocked with dunes large and small; in sum, exactly what we might hope to find beside the shore. Yet this exceptional terrain is not beside the shore - It is two hundred feet above it. No wonder Pennard has been called "the links in the sky.

Dylan: Lorraine and I are missing you and Wales already. I cant even begin to tell you how much all of your help meant to us during our stay. It was a truly memorable, marvelous week. Lorraine and I are in the process of putting together a small token of our appreciation to you and Nanette (and the bambino en route)--keep an eye on the mailbox. Best regards.
