Morlais Castle Golf Club

Very beautiful course by merthyr. Very easy to find and the drive up was gorgeous seeing the brecon beacons and welsh heritage with quarries. And the Welsh mountain railway next door. The course was as immaculate as it could be, bearing in mind the hot weather of this summer of 2026. The greens were excellent, both in quality and speed. The bunkers were perfectly placed as I did not find one, but my playing partner said they were good. The signage was good too. The pro shop, whilst small was very well stocked. Buggy was more than acceptable. The clubhouse was nice too, as was the bar for a nice cold drink afterwards. The course was very reasonably priced at £30 for a Saturday round too. Already looking forward to another round at beautiful morlais castle.

What a lovely course, bit patched by the recent hot weather but did not detract from a lovely day for my friend and me. Drove down from Hereford around 1 hr away, course easy to find and very welcoming. Very easy to find your way around the course as so well signposted, fairways and greens in very good condition, both speed and quality. Stunning views around the course of the Brecon Beacons and the remains of the castle and the Welsh history of the quarries. Pro shop easy to find, buggy in good condition and lovely drink afterwards before the drive back. home. Already want to go back to Morlais castle. Well done all involved.

We were rained off and nobody was around after to talk to. We never got to the first green as it was under water and unplayable.

The course should have been closed and we shouldn’t have been allowed on but they happily took our money.

I know this course is usually a great course to play but feel we should have been told of the state of the greens and refunded.

Excellent greens with demanding approach shots required, some green are blind second shots , some big climbs if pushing a trolley but well worth a visit , also great views,

This is a beautiful course that really challenges the average golfer. The only downside was when we arrived for our tee time we were told that we couldn’t get on the course for another hour? We were told that Golf Now bookings didn’t go through the club. So our advice would be to always check with the club even if you make a booking on GN page. The people out on the course were lovely and allowed us to play through so we didn’t get caught behind a large party and weren’t delayed any further.

Great course. Good challenging layout. Great view of the Brecon Beacon Mountains all around. Well maintained. Staff and members are ever so friendly.

Returned to play for a second time because of the great view. The course was an old natural course so can be rather naturally rocky at parts. Challenging layout. Some crossovers of fairways where one need to watch out for dangers. Staff and members were extremely helpful and friendly.

Some lovely holes, even if a bit undulating, on the front nine. The greens were in superb condition. Well done greens staff. Great welcome and food in the club house aw well.

Wonderful panoramic views, course in great condition with immaculate greens. Quite tiring for us old 'uns but worth all the effort. Will definitely be going back

Great course for all levels. Greens in good condition. A few fairways are crossovers or too close to each other without clear separation treelines. Therefore can be dangerous if the course is busy. It was fortunately not the case on our day of play there. Good value for money though.

On arrival we were greeted in the Pro shop by being told the tee time we booked was unavailable because Golf now never contacts the club to reserve the time, we were told we would have to tee off 30 minutes later than the time booked. I didn’t think the greeting was handled professionally and I was made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome by the manner of the staff member.

Having waited to play it was well worth while the course was in excellent condition and members on the course made us feel very welcome. Some fantastic views across parts of the Brecon national park and Merthyr.

Course is a really good challenge with some fantastic tee positions that make golfers of all levels stop and think. Staff and members are so friendly and welcoming. Only played twice in winter but will be back in the summer.

An ok course, very busy but that’s ok, mud all over fairways and members were a bit stand off. Not for me thanks.
