This is the only Nicklaus designed course in South Wales, and what a magificent allround experience it is (weather permitting of course). Situated on the Burry Inlet with views across the estuary towards the Gower it si exposed but rather idyllic and the course itself is always in imaculate condition and a very testing set of holes with water coming into play on just about every hole. The greens are some of the best you could ever hope to play on - approaching Tour standard.
This certainly not a course for the faint-hearted nor is it a course which allows you to just blindly rip it. The highlights for me are the tough Par-4 4th & 5th, the Par-3 11th withits 50+ yards deep green dominated by a largs lake, and the very tough long Par-4 16th which is a great golf hole.
If anyone is looking to have a golfing break in West Wales this is the must-play course.

Set overlooking the beautiful Carmarthenshire bay, this 18-hole Nicklaus designed golf course is one of the most exiting new golf courses in the UK.
On arrival, the quality of this venue immediately becomes apparent. as you make your way down the long driveway to a modern and luxurious clubhouse, it is clear to see that this resort has been designed by a true professional.
The quality of the practice facilities match that of the clubhouse, and with a complimentary bucket of balls on arrival, and a practice putting green that would rival that of any other golf club in Wales, you will be fully prepared before walking onto the first tee.
The opening tee shot requires a carefully placed drive to the right hand side of the fairway, this will open up the green and leave you with the best opportunity to attack the pin.
The uniqueness and quality of every hole makes it difficult to single out a signature hole on the front nine, but many courses would struggle to match the quality of the short par-4 fourth. This dangerous and exiting hole required a careful lay-up off the tee, and an accurate and precise approach to one of the most undulating green on the golf course.
As you reach the turn, you are faced with a daunting tee shot on the dangerous par-4 ninth. Anything pulled to the left will result in your next shot being hit from heavy rough, whilst pushed shots to the right will find themselves at the bottom of the lake. A par on this hole is always a good score and will set you up nicely for the start of the back nine.
Birdie opportunities are few and far between on this course, but holes 13 and 14 are two of them. With the 13th being a reachable par-5 for many, and a short par-4 to follow, making the most of these holes is imperative.
The signature hole on the golf course comes in the form if the 16th. This long and daunting par-4 is one of the most picturesque golf holes in Wales. A long and straight drive followed by a well struck mid iron is required on this hole, with any wayward shots being punished by heavy rough and deep bunkers.
The closing holes on this course are perhaps not the most challenging on the golf course, but a well-struck drive is required on the 18th in order to clear the water. A relatively short par-5 to finish lets you enjoy the walk down the 18th, and gives you time to reflect on the trials and tribulations of your round.
As you sit in the clubhouse and reflect on your round, the quality of the food and the ambience in the bar will make the off-course experience at Machynys as enjoyable as the golf itself.

Bit disappointed that this wasn't actually a proper 'links' course, but an American style links. Strong coastal winds made it a tough round with water coming into play a lot.

A good challenge. Suberb greens combined with ultra modern clubhouse, much water and wildlife and lovely views over the Gower Peninsula and Lougher Estuary make for an absorbing and enjoyable day.

best time of the year to play a links course.
Spring time, the rough isn't up, so there is a chance of finding those stray balls.
16 holes with water on however, is another challenge. The wind turns with the tide, in general you get a S West wind. But if it turns to be easterly you are lulled into a false sense of security, with the course playing easier until the last 5 holes.
180yd par3 into a 30mph wind is not fun! Or the 18th tee shot to carry 150yd over water.
Food and cold beer after always helps
Helpful pro shop staff, and locker room well catered for. Remeber £1 for the locker.
