True Links
Reviewed September 6, 2024
We played this links course with 4 people on August 26,2024. The weather was cloudy and light rain.
Since we were playing one day after the club championships, the course had to be in top condition.
The layout is sensational, both the fairways and the greens are very undulating.
Amazing views of the sea from almost all of the fairways. The problem was the lack of information boards for the fairways, as some shots were blind and there wasn't always a helpful target post.
The fairways were playable, not too short/hard - and rather soft due to the wet weather. The greens were rather slow, which is unusual for a links course, but very true to the line.
The people in the clubhouse were extremely helpful and friendly.
Having played almost 100 golf courses all over the world, mainly in Germany of course, but also a lot on the island, this course is one of my TOP 5 courses!!!
The other 4 in this (subjective) ranking are: Royal Dornoch/SCO, GC Föhr/D, West Cliffs/POR, Golf Dinard/FRA and Nordwijk/NED possibly St. Mellion/ENG or Fortrose & Rosemarkie/SCO.
Not included, for example, Budersand/Sylt or Le Tourquet/FRA, which ultimately shows how much I liked "Pennard" overall.
I would definitely recommend it, even in terms of price (80 francs on Mondays).

Nice place but actually not recommended
Reviewed September 9, 2023
Very nice, very wavy / hilly links course with a wonderful view of the coast. very challenging to play. as far as the positive.
Unfortunately there is also a long list of defects:
fairways mediocre at best - mowed short (if the lawn has it) and rock hard - constant improvement was the order of the day. the ball therefore easily rolls another 50 meters in all possible directions. precision golf (which is necessary here) = non-existent
Greens nicely undulated and fast, but we often played on the sand rather than on the lawn, which was a maximum of 2 mm high.
A very big shortcoming are the non-existent track descriptions (with a green fee of £125). You play at least half of the holes BLIND and when you hit the tee you have no idea whether it continues straight behind the hill, down to the right or down to the left. basically means running a hundred meters ahead and checking. and because the ball also rolls in an uncontrolled manner in undulating terrain, searching for the ball for a long time is a constant.
It also happened twice that you couldn't see the flag (from the fairway) even 80 meters in front of the green.
this is still exciting: it has very deep bunkers with good sand. But if the bunker is so small that when you stand in the hole there is hardly any room left for the swing... then the architect had a weak moment... and as a player you just declare the ball unplayable :- D
19th hole, quite an acceptable restaurant.

I was there in July 2017. Relevant literature on the place is available. I really enjoyed the round there, even though the place is very difficult. Fantastic views of the sea are included. Who is in the area, should definitely play. Really a dream place!

Incredible views, friendly and helpful club manager, friendly pro shop, good food and absolutely fair price.
Leftgolf as it must be. Lanes of the landscape, not reversed. Greens sometimes make you despair, and the movable "obstacles" (cows) on some tracks. This is just fun.
We had a perfect golfing day!

A fantastically beautiful and severe Links on the cliffs of Pennard! Fantastic views of cliffs and on an old ruin let a sometimes forgotten to play golf! Almost as a bonus to keep on the whole area still countless cows as moving obstacles on!

Sensational - Links in the Sky
Reviewed August 20, 2013
This place repeatedly robbed a breath. Not directly on the sea but above the Klppen are the original, wild, bumpy tracks placed in the dunes, where you often do not believe in it and to be able to play golf again fabulous views of the sea and into the Three Cliffs Bay. Many blind but very well marked, shots, more playable bunker, with a tailwind directly vulnerable par 4 and most manageable Rough make the game despite the extreme hill not a frustrating experience but a wild feast for the eyes and ambitious athletic. Long hitters are at risk, precise play is rewarded.
Who does not love this place, which is not helping
