Your Course(s)
Llandrindod Wells
Best described as an “Upland Links” course, it provides a true test for golfers of all abilities. Lush upland turf on which the ball sits up invitingly, turf banks and natural hazards, with well protected true greens.
By the standards of today, the course is not long but do not be lulled into thinking that it is a push over; against a par of 69 the course record still stands at only 65.
This is the romance of playing golf at Llandrindod Wells. Linger a moment on your round and absorb the magic of the soft rolling hills which surround you. Admire the Buzzards and Red Kites which patrol the sky above the course.
Not for nothing did Harry Vardon name the 297 yard, par 4, 18th “Death or Glory”. Stand on the tee and make your decision, take an iron and play safe, or a wood and attack the carry of some 250 yards over a deep valley and the road beyond? But take heart, this hole has been aced, but only the once.
Builth Wells
Builth Wells Golf Club is a charming 18 hole parkland golf course situated in the picturesque countryside. It is just a short drive from the historic market town of Builth Wells.
The course is a hidden gem, and a good test for all standards of golfer. With the use of natural characteristics such as woodland, ponds and the River Chewfri running through the course alongside small well protected greens, being able to play to your handicap is very much an achievement.
The course is unique in that there are no par 5’s for the men. The course is made up of 12 par 4’s and 6 par 3’s. Though lacking in length it more than makes up in terms of interest and presentation.
Cradoc
Founded in 1967 this championship course is set in 120 acres just 2 miles north of Brecon.
When C K Cotton set out to design the golf course he was blessed by having acres of superb parkland. And of course stunning views of the Brecon Beacons National Park from its elevated position on the north slope of the Usk valley.
Cotton successfully used the undulating landscape of Penoyre Park to create a golf course with well-defined fairways, mature trees and true greens which provide a thought provoking challenge for golfers of all abilities.
