Day 5

Today play Aberdovey (tbc) . At the north of the Dovey Estuary you will find a classic links that hugs the Welsh coastline. This historic course is a favorite of the esteemed Bernard Darwin who famously eulogised as the course ''that may soul loves best in the world'. While the course runs straight out and straight back in the manner of a traditional links there is a great diversity between each nine and the holes themselves. Please note a very limited supply of golf carts are available for hire. Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel Specialist.

Overnight: The Great House: Standard Room - including Welsh breakfast (2 Rooms, 4 passengers)



Day 6

Play Southerndown (tbc) The course takes full advantage of its natural features. With undulating fairways and tight lies giving a downland/links character. Bracken and gorse punish wayward shots and on windy days golfers need to negotiate the hazards with care. 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.

Overnight: The Great House: Standard Room - including Welsh breakfast (2 Rooms, 4 passengers)



Day 7

Golf today on Royal Porthcawl (tbc). A unique mixture of classic links and heathland holes, played on lush springy turf. Porthcawl has panoramic views over the Bristol Channel from every hole. Although Porthcawl has never held the Open it has held numerous top Amateur events including the Walker Cup, which featured Tiger Woods in the US team.
