Dining options include a chic brasserie as well as more formal dining, the hotel has an excellent leisure club, pool and sauna. This is the perfect location to enjoy the Swansea cafe culture, and golf on and around the Gower peninsula and South Wales.

	Royal Porthcawl (South East Wales Championship Links) 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 (South East Wales Parkland) 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 (South West Wales Links) 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.
	Southerndown Golf Club (South East Wales Links) Established in 1905 the course plays host each year to the prestigious amateur tournament the Duncan Putter. This classic links course provides a real golfing challenge, with narrow gorse and bracken lined fairways, and deep bunkers.There are many longer courses, but few with a finer set of par-threes. Equally memorable are the closing holes, usually played into the wind. The 18th in particular with its intimidating gorse and renowned split-level fairway will live long in the memory.
	Tenby (South West Wales Links) A regular on the Welsh Golfing Union Championship rosta, from the first hole to the last, you will never forget the layout of this renowned links course. With stunning ocean views it maximizes all the natural features of this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire. Arguably the oldest course in Wales, golf has been played over the links here since the late 1880s.
