Set in the beautiful countryside of Kidwelly, this course enjoys an ideal location for a parkland golf course.
A warm and friendly atmosphere is immediately derived from the clubhouse, and with first class practice facilities only walking distance from the first tee, there is no excuse not to be fully prepared for your round.
A challenging tee shot is faced on the first hole, with trouble down the left hand side and trees on the right, hitting the fairway is a must. The longer hitters will be rewarded with a chance to hit this par-5 in two, whilst a strategic lay-up is required from the shorter hitters.
The front nine at Glyn Abbey does not require astronomical length to score well, but finding the fairways is a must on every hole; and with deep bunkers and plenty of tough lies around the greens, wayward shots are severely punished.
The signature hole on the course comes at the par-4 17th hole. A long and straight drive will leave even the bigger hitters with a challenging approach. Anything short of the green will leave you with a steep uphill pitch; whilst over clubbing will result in your next shot being hit from heavy rough. A scorecard is not safe until this tough penultimate hole has been safely negotiated - par is always a good score here.
With interesting hole designs and stunning views over the Gwendraeth valley, Glyn Abbey is certainly worth playing. But with inconsistent greens and some holes lacking distance, there are other courses in the area that I would be inclined to play first if I was to return to Carmarthenshire.

I am biased as it's my home course. Great layout and a really friendly welcome from all. Excellent value and the course has a path all the way around making it buggy accessible in all weather.Reviewer Rating

This is a lovely parkland course, nicely kept and manicured. My wife and I stayed in the on site cottage, which was beautifull. We played two games, both time loving the course. Each hole offers a different challange, but not too difficult. Great staff, nice food in the clubhouse.
Well done Glyn Abbey.

Played in 2025. Easy flow through the course , glorious weather on the day. Good company and a decent 19th hole. Almost a perfect day.

A great course in excellent condition with fast greens. Most of the fairways have a good covering of grass so good approach shots can be played. Around some on the greens the grass is a bit patchy making g it difficult to get under the ball for a lob shot. A good layout with lots of different challenging holes. The only downside was that there is no water in any of the ball cleaners.

Slightly biased as it's my home club. In my view , the most welcoming and friendliest course/club in the area. Course layout is easy to follow , buggy paths open all year , challenging course and a very friendly clubhouse although food may not be available all the time. Got the green fees at a reasonable rate as well.
