Pennard

A magnificent links course located 8 miles west of Swansea, with spectacular views over Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower Peninsula, golf has been played at here since 1896, although the course owes most of its appeal today first to James Braid and then to C.K. Cotton. The holes are routed over classically undulating and tumbling linksland, full of hummocks, hillocks and hollows with dunes large and small and carefully placed revetted bunkers, exactly what we might hope to find beside the shore, yet this exceptional terrain is not beside the shore – it is 200 feet above sea level.  No wonder Pennard is known as “the links in the sky”.
