The Wales National is a UK golf course of distinction, one of the UK and Europe's newest championship golf courses and - at 7,433 yards off the championship tees - it's one of the longest golf courses outside of the USA.
The golf course boasts some of the UK's finest scenery, a mixture of mature wooded areas, wide and narrow fairways and vast water and bunker features, all set in the spectacular countryside of Wales, with its abundance of wildlife including badgers, swans, rabbits and hawks.
The par 73 Wales National Golf Course, opened in June 2003 by Great Britain Olympic gold medalist Sir Steve Redgrave, has already hosted Europro and Challenge Tour events and was the venue for the Sky-televised FIRSTPLUS Wales Seniors Open in June 2006 and the Wales Challenge Tour in 2007.
One of two exceptional UK golf courses at The Vale Hotel, Golf and Spa Resort, the well-established and aptly named par 72 Lake Course – which has staged numerous Wales and West PGA professional championships - is dominated by a 20-acre lake and has water coming into play on 12 of its holes. Its 8th hole looks down over the largest heronry in Wales. Its unique signature hole, The Island Green (12th), is ranked one of UK golf courses top golf holes.Course Information

Notes:
The award winning Wales National Golf Course is destined to be one of the great UK inland courses; mature woodland, fearsome bunkers, tricky water features and USGA standard greens combine to make a challenging round of golf. Also the aptly named par 72 Lake Course is dominated by a 20-acre lake and has water coming into play on 12 of its holes.
