Langland Bay Golf Club

Langland Bay is one of the Gower Peninsula's real treats, a clifftop course set on the narrow strip of land between Langland and Caswell bays. You'll get sea views from the opening stretch and when the wind gets up, it quickly becomes a thinking golfer's round.

Expect firm turf in summer, plenty of natural elevation change and a routing that mixes exposed coastal holes with more sheltered stretches inland. The prevailing south-westerly can be the deciding factor, so bring your flighted shots and be ready to take an extra club when you're playing into it. Greens tend to be on the smaller side with subtle movement, and you'll often find the slopes towards the sea can influence the read more than you expect.

This is not a course that rewards swinging out of your boots. Play to your angles, keep it in position and you'll give yourself chances. Take on the brave line too often and the gorse and coastal terrain are ready to punish anything loose.

Off the course, the clubhouse is friendly and straightforward, ideal for a relaxed post-round bite and a pint. It also fits nicely into a wider Gower itinerary, with Pennard, Ashburnham and Clyne all within easy reach, and beaches and coastal walks on your doorstep for anyone in the group who wants more than just 18 holes.
