What the club says: The Vale Resort has two 18 hole championship courses. The Wales National is one of the longest golf courses outside of the USA - at 7,433 yards and par 73 off the championship tees. It opened in June 2003 by Great Britain Olympic gold medalist Sir Steve Redgrave and has hosted multiple Europro and Challenge Tour events. The aptly named Lake Course (par 72) is dominated by a 20-acre lake and has water coming into play on 12 of its holes.

Reviewed Jun 3 2019 by Barkham - rated 5 out of 5 Two Great Courses
Just got back from a fantastic two day break at The Vale. The Lakes is a great course, with the first 4 holes being pretty demanding. The forest course is a monster even off the yellows but what a great knock. A course guide for both courses is a good idea. The hotel is just brilliant great food and really friendly staff we will be back.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Aug 24 2018 by Aled D - rated 3 out of 5 Not in best condition
First time I’ve played this course which has a great variety of holes, a few are quite long and I recommend a buggy !Although a great design we didn’t see it in its best condition with most of the fairways quite long and needing a cut (probably a by product of a wet couple of weeks after many weeks of dry weather). The greens had recently been dressed and it felt as though too much sand had been used as they were very difficult and inconsistent to put on. The tee markers and flags could also do with a little TLC - particularly the tee markers which could do with a coat of paint.
A great course, we just didn’t see it looking it’s best today
