The course and its character

The club was founded in 1904. Its 18-hole course measures just under 6,000 yards and is tree-lined, with well-kept fairways and true greens. Views take in the Preseli Hills to the north and the castles of Haverfordwest and Roch. Visit Wales notes that every tee is close to the previous green, which keeps the walk easy. A shorter 'Blue' 18-hole course of about 3,000 yards has been set up for juniors.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Tee times can be booked online or through the pro shop. Check in at the pro shop before play; when it is closed, check in at the clubhouse bar or office. Handicap certificates are not needed except for open events and other competitions, but golfers are expected to follow etiquette. Normal golf dress applies: no denim or football or rugby tops, and golf shoes must be worn. Soft spikes are compulsory from 1 April to 31 October. Buggies are limited, so book them in advance through the pro shop.

Staying and getting there

The clubhouse has a lounge, bar and restaurant. The club also rents out a three-bedroom apartment overlooking the course. It is on the edge of Haverfordwest, with the Pembrokeshire Coast Path about six miles away.
