Southerndown is perched high above the Ogmore River Valley, and actually looks down on the celebrated links of Porthcawl. The magnificent views of the Bristol Channel are matched by the amazing course; Southerndown is almost unique, in that there are no trees or water hazards, just bracken, gorse and treacherous bunkers.

Southerndown Golf Club

Originally laid out by Willie Fernie in 1883, Southerndown has been revisited by some of the game's great architects, notable Herbert Fowler, Willie Park and most recently, Donald Steel.

The course is tough yet also extremely endearing and will be enjoyed especially by lovers of seaside golf. While not the longest, Southerndown boasts a set of short holes that are the envy of most, while the closing hole, with its dramatic split-level fairway, will live long in the memory.

The great views and superb golf course are the foundations of this coastal gem, so be sure to include Southerndown in your next golf tour of the South Wales coast.

Southerndown Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in Wales

The group played from white tees which in the windy conditions made for a really difficult course but no less enjoyable. A real challenge and test of shot making. The pro, bar staff and members were very welcoming and friendly.

This is a moorland/heathland course with lots of sheep grazing everywhere which is interesting! There are probably nice views but it was misty & raining when we played it so we couldn’t see anything unfortunately.

Our time on the course was excellent would highly recommend this to anyone, especially if you don't mind the sheep wandering and the greens are class

We had perfect weather the day we played but can imagine with a bit of breeze it would play a lot harder. Remove the sheep and it would be perfect.

What a fantastic position, only a shame the weather was not quite so kind to us, blowy and cold and overcast. Loved this course also and would come back and play again, hopefully in warmer conditions; we're used to the wind blowing! Again great staff and a beautiful clubhouse and facilities. The course is a very good challenge and again in great nick.
