Glynneath Golf Club

Played on 9th October after a few days of rain.

The course was wet, but only in a few places on the back nine would you say it was sodden.

The greens were superb in my opinion.

Although the helpful staff gave me a course map, I did find the layout on the front nine a little confusing, with some blind shots.

On the 10th two very friendly members let me join them and with local knowledge helping me make sense of the layout, I had a very enjoyable back nine.

Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Excellent course very difficult with loads off sandy hazards with fast greens smooth fairways the course is difficult in ways with the hills and dog legs in course very enjoyable few big water hazards big ponds very recommend to all types off golfers who like a challenge

Treated my son to a game and was quite disappointed with the course. It was really wet and boggy in places, some of the holes were also quite difficult to navigate and find. The other disappointment was that all bar 2 tees were off grass, which were uneven and very diverted, which made teeing the ball up a task. Maybe the course is a different venue when sunny and dry but during the wet season it's not the best place to play.

Nothing bad to say, awesome layout, friendly staff, very well kept 👍🏻

Good views and interesting holes, well worth playing.

If your good at driving, this is the place to go. Absolutely awesome layout and well looked after. A couple of grumpy member’s but the others outweighed the minority.

Will return and hopefully it’s not raining a waterfall.

The greens were brilliantly maintained and challenging to play on; fast and deceptive breaks.

Tee boxes however were poor, fairways and rough pretty good.

Course layout was a bit confusing but members were very friendly and helped me find my way around.

I've played here a couple of times over the last few weeks and I must say if I lived a little closer I would be a member! The staff and members are very friendly, fairways and greens are superb and the views are simply spectacular. I would 100% recommend this beautiful course and look forward to playing here again very soon.

Fantastic greens, great features surrounding the course, great to play a course with character. Really enjoyed the game. Thanks 🙏

Played here for the first time, staff at the shop was very friendly as was the members who we met on the course. All offered advice and friendly chat.

Back 12 onwards we're favoured for me. Recommend a visit.

First time playing so found it a little difficult to follow the layout but the staff were great there and very helpful.. friendly aswell. Greens were ok but it’s winter and just had snow recently. Look forward to summer greens they should be great. Some lovely views and well designed holes. Definitely coming back here again. Was very quiet so no pressure from other golfers.. had a good time on the course.. my golf was usual mediocre but enjoyed the course and chat with the staff..

Variety of shots needed. Some wonderful holes. A few par 3s are beautiful.

Great course. Always like playing here. Greens had just been spiked and sanded so ball roll was a bit bobbly on most greens

The course itself was in good condition, greens were free from surface water given the weather over the past few days prior to playing. Greenkeeping staff were very rude and held us up when playing which as a result held up the others behind us too, which was of frustration to the following groups behind them also. We were playing i believe it was the 7th when the green keepers came down the middle of the fairway while we were in position to take our shots. they then preceded to cut the grass around the green which in turn held our 3 ball up and as mentioned the groups behind also. We hit our shots when they were to the side of the Green(not mowing at this point) and finished off the hole. Now instead of moving onto the next hole while we were putting they stayed watched us putt our balls and then as we were making our way to the next tee box they sped off in front of us and went to mow the next green. With no sight of danger we hit our balls to the green (all 3 shots of out party) to which we were met by 1 green keeper in particular where he then said that we would be removed from the course if we were to hit towards the green while they were in the vicinity. I pointed out that if they had moved on instead of watching us put there would be no issue and therefore a more streamlined approach for other groups as there would be no bottle necking with players waiting to play.

This has put me off playing here in future as most local courses in the area allow for players to have the right of way if you will when on the course as this allows for the speed of play to be free flowing and not a stop start approach.

I hope they have looked at this and rethought their process as the group behind were very annoyed to say the least about this as were we during the 'confrontation' from the green keeper.
