The 17th 164 yards Par 3 Medal Tees- A good well bunkered Par 3, which is usually downwind but is much tougher when into the wind. Take care with the putting, as there are some big breaks on this smallish green.
The 18th 373 Yards Par 4 Medal tees- an excellent finishing hole- usually into the breeze and many hazards along the way. First drive - avoid the woods on the right and the stream on the left - now about 170-180 yards left - to a very long green with out of bounds and the car park on the right. Misjudge this shot and you can have an absolutely huge (50-yard) putt.
Overall a really excellent test of golf with its 3 different sections- no easy Par 3s except the 17th (when downwind) - good Par 4s with an element of difficulty in them. The 3rd, 12th and 16th provide the longer hitters with birdie chances but only reward very good golf. When you play it you will see why regularly even in summer with lots of run Par is 72 but Standard scratch is 73. The greens are the best consistently that I have played and you really can trust them.
So don't just drive past the course and into Swansea - stop and play and you really will enjoy it.
