About
Pontypool Golf Club, founded in 1903, stands proudly in Pontypool, UK. Paul, as the club’s organiser, ensures that its history and community-driven spirit resonate deeply with every golfer who sets foot on its grounds. ⛳️
Nestled in the hills above Pontypool, the course offers jaw-dropping views of the Bristol Channel and the sprawling valleys and hills of South Wales. Though the course may be compact, it packs a punch with 18 challenging holes, a par of 69, and 5,993 yards of pure golfing test. Whether navigating the five par 3's, eleven par 4's, or two par 5's, players will find their skills continually put to the test.
Paul's commitment extends well beyond the greens. The club boasts top-notch facilities, including a buzzing restaurant and bar helmed by Paul and Judith. They've been hosting an array of events from weddings to birthday parties, ensuring every function is a memorable experience. With diverse catering options, a vast wine list, and a fully licenced bar, every gathering is marked by enjoyment and ease.
Golfers are always welcome at Pontypool, with the flexibility to play any day, any time. It’s recommended to call the Pro Shop ahead to check tee time availability, as certain slots may be allocated for members' competitions or group bookings. Societies and groups are warmly invited, though pre-booking is necessary for a seamless experience.
Pontypool Golf Club is more than a place to play golf; it’s a community. Offering a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) membership for £520 annually, Paul ensures that financial constraints don't prevent enthusiastic golfers from enjoying the game with full membership rights.
Reflecting its rich history, the club began as Pontypool and District Golf Club in 1903, expanding to an 18-hole course by Easter 1923 after merging with Panteg Golf Club. Despite changes over the years, including the abandonment of the “mountain holes” in 1966, the club remains dedicated to delivering an exceptional golfing experience.
Paul proudly invites golfers of all skill levels to discover the scenic course, excellent facilities, and warm, welcoming atmosphere that define Pontypool Golf Club. 🌄
