Tenby Golf Club

The course and its history

Golfers were active here by 1875, and the club was established in 1888. It became an 18-hole course in 1907 under James Braid's influence and was a founding member of the Welsh Golfing Union. Prime Minister David Lloyd George played the links, and Ryder Cup golfer Dai Rees was so fond of Tenby that the 3rd hole is named after him. Expect hilly fairways, sand dunes, blind shots and fast greens. From the highest point of the 17th there are views of Caldey Island. The club regularly hosts national championships.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Book tee times online. The sandy ground drains well, so the club says the course is playable 365 days a year, and buggies can usually be used even in poor weather. Local caddies can be booked through the professional's shop. One caddie can work for two golfers, and bookings should be made two weeks ahead. Premium TaylorMade sets are available to hire from the pro shop. Juniors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and dogs are not allowed on the course or in the clubhouse.

Getting there

The club is on the Burrows, a short walk from Tenby's medieval town walls, harbour and beaches.
