ON-SITE ITINERARY
DAY 1 - OLD COURSE, ST PIERRE GOLF CLUB
Set in the rolling hills of South Wales and 400 acres of its own grounds, you drive through tree-lined fairways before entering into the historic courtyard of this graceful 14th century manor house. Through its majestic archway the hotel itself is a sympathetic blend of ancient and modern. St Pierre was founded in 1961 and the first thing to strike one is the beautiful setting. It was originally a deer park and has an abundance of mature trees. Having checked in, commence the golf itinerary with a round on the Old Course. The most famous hole on the Old Course is the 18th, which is surely one of the most dramatic finishing holes in golf. A par 3 of 237 yards, it requires a brave tee shot across the edge of the lake with large trees lining the left hand side of the fairway.

DAY 2 - ROLLS OF MONMOUTH GOLF CLUB
Put simply, the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club is one of the great golf courses. Set in the grounds of the Rolls Estate, the former country home of Charles Stewart Rolls, who together with Henry Royce, founded the famous Rolls Royce Company. The course itself is one of two halves, being laid out on opposite sides of the estate. The front 9 presents such challenges as the 5th where a deep ravine is located just before the green, the 6th is over 500 yards and requires a lake and a stream to be negotiated. On the back 9, the 11th is a wonderful downhill sweeping hole, the 15th has a sharp dogleg and the 18th with its water challenge makes for an intriguing finish.

DAY 3 - OLD COURSE, ST PIERRE
No stay at St Pierre would be complete without a round on the Old Course. The most famous hole on the Old Course is the 18th, which is surely one of the most dramatic finishing holes in golf.

DAY 4 - NEWPORT GOLF CLUB
Having checked out of the hotel travel the short distance to Newport Golf Club. The course overlooks Newport Bay and is located north of the town and is within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The course is sheltered between two hill ranges and the area generally enjoys a warmer climate compared to many parts of the country as a result of the Gulf Stream. These aspects are of particular benefit for winter golf.
