What the club says: Aberdare Golf Club was founded in 1921 as a Parkland course at Abernant, which is about a mile from the centre of Aberdare. This picturesque 18-hole golf course is famous for its mature Oak trees and was also a home club for one of Britains most famous golfers Mr Dai Rees, who was former Ryder Cup Captain.

Craig L rated 5 out of 5

- Jun 18 2018Well placed trees make for tough course
Def need to be accurate off the tees with tree lined fairways and well placed trees to make some holes even tougher.
Some greens drop off massively while others are at the top of big slopes making accuracy towards the greens, and club selection, important as well.

Mike S rated 3 out of 5 - Jun 23 2017
- Jun 23 2017The club are frightened to cut the greens any shorter, for fear of being burnt by the sun, seed heads growing. This is making putting a bit of a lottery as you need to smash it at the hole, they are so slow. this is taking consideration of borrows and breaks out of your thinking!!!, frustrating. otherwise the course isin super condition.

- Aug 27 2016Course was well presented, lots of blind shots on the outward 9. A few more marker poles would have been helpful. Greens true but very slow. Cracking views from course and clubhouse.

Trevor W rated 4 out of 5 - Jun 23 2011
- Jun 23 2011The course was well presented although following days of heavy rain some of the greens were quite wet and there were wet patches on some of the fairways. Crossing is an issue on this course.
Clubhouse and new pro shop are good.Ample portions of good golfing fayre were available and the bar staff were very friendly.
The young pro was very attentive and eager to provide for all our society needs.
The visit was only marred by the hostile attitude of a few senior members.
