Hole 1

Hole Name DANNY CAREW

From The Tee The 1st has a rolling fairway away from the club house with out of bounds running down the left-hand side. A tee shot sent towards the imposing Black Rock to the right-hand side is a good line, but the undulating fairway can leave you a blind approach to the green.

From The Fairway The approach shot is usually played from an awkward lie on even ground remember that the ball flight tends to match the contours of the ground. A large green with subtle slopes, but beware of thick rough surrounding the green.

Hole 2

Hole Name TOM GRANT

From The Tee A simple looking par 4 that runs fairly straight from tee to green.

From The Fairway The green is protected with a narrow entrance and a shot hit short and right can easily spin into the deep greenside pot bunker.

On The Green The green has several large slopes and many a promising card has been compromised here.

Hole 3

Hole Name DAI REES

From The Tee Dai Rees, the former Welsh Ryder Cup Player/Captain loved this hole so much it was named after him. Thick rough dominates the dunes running the length of the right hand side of the fairway.

From The Fairway A precision tee shot is needed here to allow any view of the green. The approach shot to the green is what earns this hole its stroke index of 1.

On The Green The green is raised on a plateau and anything other than an accurate iron shot will kick off sharply to the left or right, an imposing pot bunker guards the front left.

Hole 4

Hole Name THE BELL

From The Tee

From The Fairway A great par 4 running alongside South Beach. Teeing off an elevated tee from the beach side of the dunes, a short drive leaves you on a plateau with a second shot blind, into the prevailing wind.

On The Green

Hole 5

Hole Name SWN Y MOR

From The Tee

From The Fairway

On The Green A short par 4 with a magnificent beach tee. Practically standing on South Beach you now head inland to negotiate this short but tricky par 4. Four front pot bunkers and a narrow sloping green will test the greatest of players.

Hole 6

Hole Name LIFTER’S COTTAGE

From The Tee The first and shortest par 3 on the course. Anything short will fall into deep grass or gorse so club selection is important if you are to hit the small green.

From The Fairway

On The Green Pot bunkers lurk to the left and the 10th green is immediately behind.

Hole 7

Hole Name RAILWAY

From The Tee A long par 4 running alongside the railway line with out of bounds down the right.

From The Fairway Generally played into the prevailing wind. The perfect landing area for your drive is guarded by bunkers left and right.

On The Green If you find the fairway, smile, then try and club yourself correctly to land on the green.

Hole 8

Hole Name PENALLY BUTTS

From The Tee

From The Fairway A tight par 4 which runs adjacent to the Penally firing range. Out of bounds markers run the length of the right-hand side of this hole; with the fairway sloping from left to right and a new bunker on the right. The approach to an angled green is guarded by a pot bunker situated to the left.

On The Green

Hole 9

Hole Name JENKINS VIEW

From The Tee

From The Fairway A spectacular par 4 with fine views of Tenby South Beach. Driving from an elevated tee, the player needs to find a narrow fairway which snakes between several deep bunkers.

On The Green The sloping green is surrounded by deep rough and partially obscured by a large hill on the right-hand side.

Hole 10

Hole Name JAMES BRAID

From The Tee

From The Fairway

On The Green The back 9 starts with a wonderful par four, generally played down wind, with rough humps and hollows down the left and a scattering of bunkers. A long drive will leave you a short iron shot into a green that slopes from right to left.

Hole 11

Hole Name GILTAR

From The Tee

From The Fairway

On The Green Sea views, undulating terrain, rough, pot bunkers and an upturned saucer for a green.

Hole 12

Hole Name Y DDAU GWM

From The Tee A signature par 3, 193 yards from the medal tees with South Beach to your right waiting to catch any errant tee shots.

From The Fairway

On The Green

Hole 13

Hole Name DUNESIDE

From The Tee A driveable par four when conditions are favourable. The tee position often makes the drive blind, so precision is key.

From The Fairway

On The Green

Hole 14

Hole Name BLACK ROCK

From The Tee The 14th is the longest hole on the course. Strategically placed bunkers are scattered both sides of the fairway to catch any wayward drives.

From The Fairway

On The Green Longer hitters may be able to reach the green with their second shot, but accuracy is required to avoid bunkers left and right.

Hole 15

Hole Name ERNIE FITCHETT

From The Tee

From The Fairway The 15th is a tricky par 4 into the wind that requires a draw over water to find the fairway.

On The Green

Hole 16

Hole Name FOUR WINDS

From The Tee

From The Fairway

On The Green There is a stream to cross if you wish to leave yourself a pitch shot as your third. The green is a challenge with sharp slopes from back to front and left to right.

Hole 17

Hole Name VIEW O’CALDEY

From The Tee A stunning par 3 played from an elevated tee with fine views of the course, Caldey Island and Giltar Head. Trees, bushes, and bunkers surround the green.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green slopes from left to right and a well-placed tee shot often falls just short of the green and hops and skips on to the dance floor.

Hole 18

Hole Name CHARLIE’S WHISKERS

From The Tee

From The Fairway A long, straight drive will provide a good view of the green for the second shot. However, a wall borders the left-hand side of this fairway – anything in, on or over the wall is out of bounds so many players deliberately aim well to the right with their drive.

On The Green The drawback is that you are then left with a blind shot into the final green. There is a bit of dead ground between the end of the fairway and the putting surface and many people under club.
