Newport Golf Club is undoubtedly
one of the premier golf courses in South Wales having recently hosted
a number of prestigious Welsh and National Amateur events.
The Club
is a well established member's club, situated on the outskirts of
Newport, some 6 miles to the west of the Celtic Manor Resort which
is currently gearing itself up to host the Ryder Cup in 2010. The
Club recently celebrated its centenary in 2003 and is well represented
and highly regarded within Welsh golf.
The
course itself stands 300 feet above sea level and extends to over
6,500 yards. The course is situated in the magnificent setting of
the Llwyni Wood, an ancient Oak woodland, surrounded by rolling
parkland which contributes to the overall beauty and challenge of
the course. The highly dedicated Greenkeepers always maintain the
course to the highest standards with large teeing areas, well manicured
fairways and excellent putting surfaces providing a testing challenge
to golfers of all standards.
The
Clubhouse, which has recently undergone extensive restoration and
modernisation now provides a relaxing and friendly atmosphere to
relax following a day's enjoyable golf.
Newport Golf Club is unquestionably a Welsh golfing must, an obvious
choice for those wishing to enjoy a beautiful yet challenging course
and experience the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of a traditional
member's club. |
