What the club says: The Vale Resort has two 18 hole championship courses. The Wales National is one of the longest golf courses outside of the USA - at 7,433 yards and par 73 off the championship tees. It opened in June 2003 by Great Britain Olympic gold medalist Sir Steve Redgrave and has hosted multiple Europro and Challenge Tour events. The aptly named Lake Course (par 72) is dominated by a 20-acre lake and has water coming into play on 12 of its holes.

Lovely complex and great courses to play. Very long as has been wet in Glamorgan for a few weeks so found it a real challenge not the best round ever.

Hadn't been here for a few years. Both courses in good nick though greens bit slower than anticipated. National course is extremely long off even off the Yellows. Lakes more technical in nature. Both well worth playing. Hotel also nice and excellent dinner on the night between rounds.

Really fun

Really fun course, would like to play it again now knowing the course lay out as there are quite a few blind shots.
There are also some very sloped fairways that you think you've played a good shot only to find that you have run down the hill 40 feet!!!

Difficult without being impossible

Very nicely laid out, difficult without being impossible for mid to high handicappers. It was in nice condition when we played in October
