Characteristics

SOUTHERNDOWN

  • the nearest championship links-style course to the Celtic Manor Ryder Cup venue

Unique! A links-style course set on a limestone heath with stunning panoramic views of South Wales.

No trees or water hazards here – just gorse, bracken ( - and sheep!) with the occasional breath of a sea breeze. A challenge for any golfer – that’s why so many of the best amateurs take part every April in the famous 72-hole championship event, the Duncan Putter.

Peter Alliss referred to Southerndown as “One of the finest tests of golf in Wales”. From the first hole, which Henry Cotton famously described as “one of the most difficult opening holes in golf”, to the 18th signature hole with its memorable split-level fairways, Southerndown will provide the serious golfer with an unforgettable experience.

A course for the connoisseur!
