The Course

Golf of some sort or other was undoubtedly played in Wales many years before the Tenby club began in 1888 - indeed, the Mayor of Tenby is recorded as adjourning a court to get to a game in 1875 - but this is where the first properly constituted club in Wales was formed.

Welsh golf couldn't have asked for a better birthplace. Natural golfing terrain of sea-washed turf and sandy dunes, a medieval walled town close by and a view that includes the monastery island of Caldy to remind you of tranquillity.

To this day, the fine old course is testimony to the flavour of the early days of golf but its defences have been imaginatively maintained, the latest being the transformation of the long bunker in front of the 13th into two pot bunkers and the creation of a higher 18th tee on top of Black Rock that ensure a breathtaking finish. That's if you have any breath left because Tenby gets at you from the opening hole which is 466 yards par four into the prevailing wind that dominates the early holes.

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 and, due to its natural drainage, it remains playable all year. Visitors are most welcome at this friendly club. The delightful lounge bar overlooks the course and offers some of the best catering in the area - available all day.
