Golf Club Descriptions
Neath Golf Club
Neath Golf Club, founded in 1934, is a 'James Braid' planned course covering 220 acres. It is one of Wales' highest golf courses at 500 feet above sea level with magnificent views of seven counties - the Bristol Channel to the south and the Brecon Beacons to the north. The condition is excellent and nicely undulating without being too severe.
A round of golf at Neath is unique when compared to Swansea's other courses in that it is not a seaside course and does not succumb to ferocious winds and the common traits of a links. Instead, this golf club is perched high on a hill in Cadoxton and is just a couple of miles from the quaint little town of Neath.
As you would expect of any Braid design, the natural contours of the land have been incorporated into the challenge and Braid's design, although touched up by former Ryder Cup player and captain Brian Hugget, still provides for an inspiring round to this day.
