Wales - Your Guide to the Very Best Golf in the Country

From incredible courses to perfect places to stay

This Wales Cymru digital magazine has everything you need to know about golfing in Wales.

Wales - Your Guide to the Very Best Golf in the County, produced in association with Wales Cymru, is a digital magazine that has everything you need to know about golfing in Wales—click here to access.

As host of the 2010 Ryder Cup and the 2014 and 2017 Senior Open Championships, the nation has a lot to offer golfers.

Videos are scattered on many of the mini-mag’s pages to give readers exclusive insights on courses, holes and castles.

A colored coded map greets readers, easily displaying where the best links, hilltop and clifftop, parkland and stay & play courses are located.

Royal Porthcawl, located on the coast of Wales, was stretched almost to its fullest last July when it hosted Wales’ first Senior Open. Other links courses, such as Royal St David’s, Aberdovey, Tenby and Pyle & Kenfig are also discussed in depth.

Tips from locals are also included on the best places to stay, what to do and see when you’re near one of the featured courses.

Breathtaking photos of clifftop and hilltop golf courses are shared and talked about in the second section of the mini-mag. Videos also accompany the courses to show viewers just how beautiful these Welsh courses are.

The following section includes various parkland courses, down in the valleys or across rolling countryside hills, that feature perfectly manicured green grass.

The Stay and Play section concludes the online magazine, with a look at the grandest resorts showing cosy houses that don’t require you to get in the car in order to get to the 1st tee.

Marriott St Pierre, The Celtic Manor Resort, Vale Resort, Bryn Meadows and many more are featured to show golfers that they don’t always have to travel far to get to the course.

This digital magazine is one of many that can be found on the GM website, including Graeme McDowell's Short Game Masterclass and Own The Second Shot.
