Rhosgoch Golf & Leisure

Rhosgoch Golf & Leisure is located at Painscastle in Powys, a sparsely populated county that covers much of the middle of Wales. The postcode, LD2, sits in the old historic county of Radnorshire, an upland area of hills, moorland and scattered farming villages between the Wye valley and the English border. Painscastle itself is a small settlement rather than a town, and the surrounding countryside is defined more by open hill country than by any large centre of population. Powys as a whole is the largest county in Wales by area but one of the smallest by population, and golf facilities here tend to serve local communities and visitors travelling through mid Wales rather than large numbers of day-trippers from cities. Anyone heading to Rhosgoch is likely doing so as part of a wider trip into the Radnorshire hills, an area more associated with quiet border-country scenery, small reservoirs and nature reserves than with conventional tourist attractions.
