Pennard Golf Club

Eighteen holes of proper links golf stretch along one of the most spectacular stretches of the Gower Peninsula, with the clifftop course at Pennard offering views that'll have you forgetting about your handicap entirely. The fairways roll right up to the edge of dramatic limestone cliffs, and on a clear day you can see across to Devon while you're lining up your approach shots.

This is golf as it should be - no fancy clubhouse nonsense, just honest seaside links where the wind is always a factor and the rough can be genuinely rough. Serious golfers will love the challenge, though weekend hackers might find it a bit unforgiving when the breeze picks up. The clifftop holes are absolute stunners, particularly the par-three that plays straight towards the sea.

Families staying at nearby parks like Gower Holiday Village or Bank Farm Leisure will find this makes a brilliant day out for the golf-mad dad, though it's probably not one for beginners. The course sits just outside Swansea, making it easily reachable from any of the Gower camping spots. Worth checking opening times before you travel, as coastal courses can be particular about weather conditions. Allow a good four hours for a round, longer if you stop to admire the views - which you absolutely should.
