Vale Resort Reviews & Information

54 ratings from Golfshake members

What the club says: The Vale Hotel, Golf and Spa 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 already hosted 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.

Too long for me, greens very slow, doesnt keep a mid handicapper interested when nearly every second shot is a3wood

Thoroughly enjoyed the Lake course - good variety of holes, excellent greens, good ambiance. Preferable to the Welsh National for the average golfer.

A very long course that has started to mature nicely.

If you have any infirmity take a buggy its a long trek.

Greens in excellent order
