PLAYER AND COURSE UPDATE

AUGUST 2nd 2020

 

Following the most recent government announcement and confirmation from Wales Golf, the club will re-open on Monday 18th May. But please remember we are governed by the Welsh Government and their rules vary in comparison with those in England. The rules will be reviewed and will be updated in line with the latest Welsh Government, R&A and Wales Golf guidelines.

 

Playing golf is seen as a privilege, so members of the club must adhere to the rules and processes set out in this document. Failure to do so will result in the member/s being suspended from membership for a period and if it becomes common knowledge the possibility of the club being fined and closed. It has been implied that if a club breaks the rules it may jeopardise the future of golf until the end of current crisis.

NEW MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES  
SEASON 2020 - 2021

​WELCOME to Pontnewydd Golf Club.....

 

We are debatably the Oldest Golf Club in Wales, the course was established in 1875, over 140 years ago, and our aim now, as was then, is to provide quality, affordable golf to members and visitors in a safe and friendly environment. In short...

 

Golf  for One & All

​

We are officially classed as a 9 hole course, but by combining the 11 different greens and various additional tee box areas we have, by playing the course a second time it becomes an 18 hole course.

 

If you are a High or Low Handicap player the course will test your golfing ability and for the busy workingman or woman with little spare time and find it difficult to play a full 18 holes, we are the ideal answer, play 9 and be back at the Club House (not stranded mid course as is the case on many other "Full" 18 hole Clubs).

 

We are a small friendly Club, we offer a very warm welcome to all so don't delay come and play... Give us a try, you won't regret it and even if your golf is off on that day the on course views across the valley and Bristol Channel towards Ilfracombe are amazing.

​

We look forward to seeing you.
