Course overview
P&K, as it is known, is a fantastic links course that runs through the sand dunes on the South Wales coast of Porthcawl, home to quite simply an unbelievable stretch of golfing delights.
The course features beautiful views of the Bristol Channel, Rest Bay and the Welsh Mountains. Due to some redesign post WW2, the course is a composite design by two of the best course designers, Mackenzie Ross and Colt, and what a job they have made of it.
The back 9, designed by Colt, is particularly memorable as it twists through the dunes and provides the stiffest test of the two 9 hole loops. As with many links courses, good driving to avoid the trouble is key to a good score. Multiple sets of tees are however on offer to cater to golfers of differing standards and ensures an enjoyable round for all.
A course of this standard naturally has built a sterling reputation built on a number of factors, not least the hosting of some very high profile events. Pyle & Kenfig has hosted some great championships in recent history including the Amateur Championship, the Girls Home Internationals and the Men’s Home Internationals.
