20 of us go every year for a week and we stay in Monmouth. We always try to play a new course each year, however we always play 36 at the Rolls of Monmouth every year. Just a fantastic place to play golf, we all love it there.

My only golfing experience in Wales was the 2010 Ryder Cup on Wet Friday.....

If that's Golf in Wales you can keep it........

ps I'm sure it doesn't rain all the time though....

Only time I have played in Wales was at St Pierre. It was my wife's birthday, we stayed at the attached hotel, and as luck would have it another couple came with us and the husband played golf .:whistle:

Beginning of January, nobody on the course, and we played in tshirts. Does Wales have a reputation for rain ?:confused:

Probably love it most for the memories......
Started playing as a teenager at Pontardawe (lessons from Ted Booth) in early 1960s - name is probably still on Honours board as winner of "TJ Junior Cup"! Can still picture the holes now - especially "The Pulpit" for those who know Ponty.
Love Pennard, Langland Bay, Clyne, Palleg - all great course and very different.
I've been an exile for many years (teacher!) but my mother lives in Clydach and I always manage a game at Ponty & The Mond when home visiting.
Yes...great memories of having been first bitten by the bug at home in Wales.

What a load of miserable tafophobes a lot of you are?. Wales has some great courses, at great prices, with great scenery, and all the great crowds are somewhere else

Wales, a poor golfing cousin of Scotland, not on my immediate list of places to visit!!!!


Guess I'll not be winning any Callaway Balls even although they're my favourite ball.

Weird this, I have a Welsh mother, helped at the planning stages of building a new course in the 1980's and watched quite a few tournaments at St Pierre but I have never played in Wales.

Love golf in Wales...

Golf is a great game on it's own, add in the magical scenery and the friendly atmosphere and you got a great mix for great golf!

I holidayed at Haverfordwest last year and owing to the fact my darling wife wouldnt let me take my clubs, I only got to go to a driving range. Going back again in July with a roof box for the golf clubs :) I cant wait. Countryside is wild, people are smashing, very friendly and pubs are great. Whats not to like?

Was last over for the Ryder cup. Most memorable course was Penard. Pictorestue, right on cliff face, however weather was wild even for Wales. Still enjoyed the golf!

I love golf in Wales because it means I'm back up there with my family and playing a round with my cousin in Caernarvon. The scenery is amazing and the drinking afterwards is awesome ;-)
