What the club says: The Glamorganshire Golf Club, situated in the seaside town of Penarth on the outskirts of Cardiff is the second oldest golf club in South Wales. Although being near the sea, the Glamorganshire is not a links, but an 18-hole parkland course on undulating ground on the edge of what are now Cosmeston Lakes.

The Club is steeped in tradition - it was at the Glamorganshire that the Stableford scoring system was first tried by its creator, Dr. Frank Stableford in September 1898, and where the Barbarian Rugby Football Club made Penarth their home in 1901 for their traditional Easter tour to Wales, the Glamorganshire was adopted as the place to spend the free Sunday.

American Golf Junior Open Comp only spoilt by the awful weather. The course was in a very good condition. However by halfway round the greens start to get puddles from the constant rainfall.

Why does it get to be called the Glamorganshire?

Shame about the weather at this time of year. The course was in good condition however, the greens nice and true, the wet conditions, drying, slowed them up for the newbies. No standing water but wet first cut very tight, fairways a must. Overall good course, if unspectacular. Played with friendly locals which helped. Nice clubhouse, good atmosphere. Friendly Pro at Sign In.

Would not recommend this course to anyone. A very poorly run course. Staff promise the world yet can;t even open the pro shop by 8:50am on a Sunday morning. Avoid this one and play elsewhere. The course looked nice but was able to get on as I was hiring clubs. When questioned the management did little to assist.
