"Old-school quirk at a seaside-holiday price; ring the bell after the blind shots and keep it under the wind off Carmarthen Bay."

The oldest affiliated golf club in Wales. Golf was played on Tenby's burrows as early as 1875, the club formalized in 1888, and it was a founding member of the Welsh Golfing Union. The Victorian seaside spa town added golf to keep its health-resort visitors entertained, and the game stuck. Extended to 18 holes in 1907 and refined by five-time Open champion James Braid from 1913, Tenby remains proper old-school links: blind shots, sleepered bunkers, dunes hard against Carmarthen Bay, and a railway line for company.

Links historians chasing the roots of Welsh golf, travelers doing the Pembrokeshire coast, and anyone who loves blind shots, bells to ring, and golf the way 1888 intended.

The 3rd, 'Dai Rees', honors the Welsh Ryder Cup captain, and the blind par-4s among the dunes — complete with marker posts and a bell — are the signature experience: Victorian links architecture that was never sanitized.

Traditional links quirks — blind drives, awkward stances, punishing rough — make it a character test more than a beginner's course, but it's short by modern standards and endlessly charming if you keep the ball in play.

Not in GSPro — no recreation of Tenby exists in the library as of mid-2026, and its blind-shot charm would be hard to translate anyway. For a UK links night in the bay, Royal Dornoch is the natural stand-in; Tenby itself belongs on the real-world trip list.

Welcoming members' club with easy visitor access and modest green fees by championship-links standards. Book through the club; it pairs naturally with a Pembrokeshire seaside holiday.
