- May 16 2018Stunning, even in the mist
Is a review necessary? It's an iconic course with some amazing holes. Go play it and stay out of the bunkers.

- May 31 2017Great course, avoid bunkers!
Played in a league match here. Windy day but dry. Course was running beautifully, greens were fast despite rain the previous day. Pins were in challenging positions (residue from previous day's Men's Medal!)

- Dec 8 2016Royal Porthcawl is a true links experience and is easily worth its various Top-100 ratings and always provides an enjoyabe round. The clubhouse staff are welcoming and provide great service, However unlike my previous visits, this time the greens had been hollotined, sanded and the bunkers were a disgrace, either being repaired or unplayable. All golfers understand that this work needs to be done, but the level of works
