Wales has 181 golf courses (The R&A, Golf Around the World, year-end 2020), across its four historic regions — a variety of links, parkland, and mountain courses for every level of visiting golfer.
The south coast is home to Royal Porthcawl — Wales's finest links course and one of Britain's top ten. From every hole you can see the sea — still rare, even among true links courses. Further west, the Gower Peninsula and Pembrokeshire coastline add more links options, including Tenby and Pennard.
The drama of Snowdonia dominates North Wales. Aberdovey on the Ceredigion coast sits at the mouth of the Dyfi estuary. Harry Colt described it as "the course my heart loves best," and it remains one of the great traditional links courses in Britain. Similarly, the Llŷn Peninsula adds Nefyn & District, a spectacular cliff-top layout with views across Cardigan Bay.
Green fees across Wales are generally excellent value, since most clubs charge under £60 per round. The county filters below cover Glamorgan, Gwynedd, Cardiff, Ceredigion, and all other Welsh counties.
