Wales has plenty to offer. The golf courses are generally far less crowed, less expensive and as beautiful as anywhere in the British Isles. Links like Pennard, Royal Porthcawl and Nefyn & District make for some of the most beautiful coastal courses in the world. All are easy to get on - and easy on the wallet as well.
GolfEurope.com has all the information you need to know about Wales, from trip planning and frequently asked questions, to course reviews, blogs and feature stories.
