Pyle & Kenfig Golf Club

A must play on any links golf break to Wales. Pyle and Kenfig Golf Course is affectionately known as ‘P & K’.

Lofty sand dunes hug the coast of Porthcawl. This undulating course has natural hazards of hillocks, valleys and towering dunes. However serious the game, time must be made to appreciate the panoramic views.

Unusually for a links course, Pyle and Kenfig is laid out in two loops of nine. The original front nine is where to make a score because the back nine is a very stiff test, especially when the wind is up.

The 11th hole, a 525-yard par five known as the Valley Hole, is where the dunes come in to play – from here on in, it’s sheer entertainment. This will test the mettle of the very best golfers.
