Amazing venue, history everywhere and a true chance to play on the same turf as some of your heroes. Course in great condition despite heavy rain for days before. Throughly recommend a trip, keep your fingers crossed the wind doesn't get up!

Absolutely brilliant golf course where you get a warm welcome. The greens and surrounding aprons are fast and challenging but very true. Some of the fairways are still recovering from last summer but it didn’t affect play too much. Course was a reasonable challenge off yellows with no wind :-)

Tough but beautiful
Really tough, every error gets magnified, but precise golf can get results (at least off the yellow tees)(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 107 Handicap: 18.3)

Wow
This is an exceptional course. Each hole offers something unique from the last. It's scoreable from the fairway but long rough puts a premium on driving accuracy. We played it following a long dry spell. The fairways were yellow but playable and the greens were well maintained. One of my favourite golf courses with a nice warm welcome and amazing viewsReviewer Rating

Stunning, 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.(Round played: May 2018 - Score: 96 Handicap: 16.2)

Great 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!)(Round played: May 2017 - Score: 84 Handicap: 6

Fantastic test of golf, lightning fast greens that will catch any off target shot and send it offside. Bunkers are not in great shape, not much top sand and in most cases require a sideways or reverse shot to escape

Royal 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
