With cliff-top views and farm animals roaming without caution, Pennard Golf Club is one of the game's most unique links courses. Located about 200 feet above the sea on the Gower Peninsula on the south coast of Wales, this golf course is hardly a perfect play - and that's its joy, Brandon Tucker writes.
Royal Porthcawl in Wales sees just a fraction of the rounds of its more famous neighbors in England and Scotland. The result is a golf course just as good as most British Open venues, but one that gives golfers an isolated, tranquil round.
Located about eight miles from Swansea in south Wales, Pennard Golf Club is one of the more unique golf links in Britain. Set about 200 feet above the sea on the Gower Peninsula, the golf course is nicknamed "The Links in the Sky" -- and with good reason. Brandon Tucker shows us why with this photo gallery.
It's been designed and redesigned several times over the past century, but Southerndown Golf Club remains relevant today. The golf course poses problems with its approach shots that encounter deep bunkers. Set on common ground, it serves as home to sheep that roam free and graze on rough, adding to the unique experience off the southern coast of Wales.
