With its majestic hills and long wide valleys, green green grass and spectacular settings, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Wales was designed by nature to be just perfect for golfing. Today Wales is well and truly on the world map for golfers, and with the Ryder Cup set to be hosted at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, in 2010, golf fever has well and truly taken over the country.

Wales boasts over 200 golf courses, ranging from clipped and preened world-class international courses that would challenge a seasoned professional to nine-hole golf courses perfect for the beginner. Wales truly is an excellent destination for a golfing holiday, no matter what your age and level of play. If you decide to stay in any one of our seven Vale Holiday Parks in Western Wales, we’ll be able to let you know where the closest courses are for a fun day out.

Whether you are looking for the spectacle of an international tournament golf course or the peace and tranquillity of a smaller course nestled in a secluded valley far from the hubbub of the city-life, bordered by a freshwater stream and overlooking lakes filled with rare and beautiful wildlife, Wales has it all.

Golf can sometimes be considered a stuffy game, full of snobbery and expensive to play. However, Wales is renowned for its relaxed and hospitable golf courses. You’ll find a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere in the clubhouses up and down the country as you sit back and enjoy a drink, chat about the day’s game and make new friends along the way.

Golfing in Wales is about relaxation and family. Anyone can play golf in West Wales, and enjoy an afternoon in the shadow of medieval castles, majestic mountains or lush valleys.
