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.

Lakes Course

Stay on the fairway and you’ll be ok, you are severely punished for errant shots. Fairways a little soft but expected after rain we’ve had. Pace of play was very slow. This was my second visit, after last one during Covid period and on hottest day!
