Royal Porthcawl

Advice has been provided to this wonderful links set beside the Glamorganshire coast over many years. It is famous for providing a view of the sea from every hole.

The Senior Open Championship has been played twice over the links, both times won by Bernhard Langer. Adjustments were made to some of the greens to allow enough flag positions for such a major event. That suggests that there are some greens with challenging contours on the course which is most definitely the case.

Tom Simpson advised the Club before the Second World War and his plan of the links shows some beautiful, rugged bunkers. Some of these have been restored and the plan is to continue with this process in the coming years.
