St Davids City Golf Club

There's a proper golf course tucked into the Pembrokeshire landscape near Haverfordwest, and it's the kind of place where you'll spend a solid morning swinging clubs while the Welsh countryside rolls out around you. St Davids City Golf Club is an 18-hole layout that pulls in both serious golfers and casual players who fancy a round without the pretension of a big championship venue.

The course itself plays over undulating terrain - nothing brutal, but you'll want to be reasonably competent with your swing. It's the sort of place where walkers can grab a coffee and watch from the clubhouse if golf isn't their thing, though honestly, if you're staying at Pencarnan Farm Camping or Rhosson Ganol just down the road, you might as well give it a go. Budget a full morning or afternoon depending on how slow the group ahead of you is moving.

For golfers, this works well as a break from family beach days - you get a couple of hours to yourself while partners explore nearby attractions. Non-golfers might find an hour of watching enough, then it's back to the caravan parks or into Haverfordwest for lunch. Check their website for green fees and whether you need to book in advance, as peak times can fill up. It's functional rather than glamorous, which is exactly what many courses should be.
