Tenby Golf Club

Founded 1888, Welsh golf couldn't have asked for a better birthplace.

Tenby was the first properly constituted golf club in Wales and this fine old 18 hole, 6337 yards, par 69 course stands testimony to the flavour of the early days of golf, the latest being the transformation of the long bunker in front of the 13th into two pot bunkers and the creating of a higher 18th tee on top of Black Rock that ensures a breathtaking finish. That's if you have any breath left because Tenby gets at you from the opening hole which is a 466 yards par four into the prevailing wind that dominated the early holes. Built on natural golfing terrain of sea washed turf and sandy dunes, a medieval walled town close by and a view that includes the monastery island of Caldy to remind you of tranquillity, if you needed reminding in such a spot.
