Pennard Golf Club, often called "The Links in the Sky", is a classic Welsh links founded in 1896 on the Gower Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set around 200 feet above sea level, it delivers big views over Three Cliffs Bay and towards Oxwich, with a rugged layout that feels wonderfully natural rather than overly manicured.
The course's free-draining ground is a handy bonus for a coastal venue, helping keep it playable for much of the year, even when other links can struggle. Expect plenty of movement underfoot too, with natural undulations, dunes and well-placed bunkers asking you to think your way around. Wind plays its part most days, so you will need to keep the ball down and choose your shots carefully.
Off the course, visitors get a genuinely friendly welcome, with facilities that make it an easy stop for a golf break. There are long and short practice ranges to get loose before you head out, a fully stocked Pro Shop for essentials and a welcoming Bar & Restaurant for a post-round drink and bite to eat.
And while Pennard feels nicely removed from it all, you are still only 8 miles from the centre of Swansea, so it works brilliantly for groups who want a proper links test by day and a bit of buzz after golf.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want an authentic, scenic links experience, a proper walk and a relaxed, unstuffy club atmosphere.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-low handicappers and golf groups who enjoy strategy in the wind and like being close to Swansea and the wider Gower.

Established in 1896, Pennard owes thanks to its creators James Braid and C.K. Cotton, whose legacy is a links layout that traverses the humps, hillocks, mounds and hollows of the amazing landscape. Pennard, unlike many seaside courses, is not located immediately on the shoreline, rather it is perched on the cliff top, some 200 feet above the sea. This position makes it truly unique, providing incredible views.
Pennard is among Wales' finest, and carries a strong contingent of admirers; if spectacular seaside golf appeals, then make sure Pennard should be high on the list.
Pennard Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in Wales

Interesting and challenging course - particularly when it is pouring down with rain ( as we experienced !!) . The course is on common land with cows and numerous public footpaths .Greens protected and were good . Fairways not in great condition and in hindsight our group of 12 would have played preferred lies.

A stunning course "the links in the sky" was very exposed to the strong winds evident on the day. We had a late start due to a Open competition being held (we had been warned) and with a lot of blind holes with marker posts we only just made it in the light. Every green was surrounded by low level cheese wire to keep animals off the greens which was very difficult to see. The greens were very fast and true but a number of fairways are still in recovery mode.
