TENBY GOLF CLUB
🏴 Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Designed by James Braid
Tenby Golf Club sits on the Pembrokeshire coast in southwest Wales, occupying clifftop and duneland above Carmarthen Bay. The course dates to 1888, making it one of Wales's oldest clubs, though James Braid redesigned the layout in the early twentieth century. His routing takes advantage of the natural linksland and dramatic coastal elevation changes, with several holes playing along or above the cliffs that define this stretch of the Welsh coastline.
The course measures just over 6,200 yards from the back tees and presents a traditional out-and-back links test. The front nine generally moves away from the clubhouse across rolling duneland, while the back nine returns with several holes featuring views across the bay toward the Gower Peninsula. The terrain includes natural undulation, gorse, and the wind patterns typical of exposed coastal golf in Wales. Braid's design incorporates strategic bunkering and green sites that reward local knowledge of the prevailing conditions.
Tenby has hosted regional amateur competitions and Welsh national championships over the decades, serving as an important venue in Welsh golf. The club maintains a traditional members' club atmosphere, and the course remains relatively unchanged from Braid's design principles. Its position within the town of Tenby, a historic walled seaside resort, gives the club a distinct character among Welsh links courses—accessible yet retaining the challenge and景观 of genuine coastal golf.
