Another delightful drive through mid Wales nearly too Aberaeron brings you to Llanrhystud in Ceredigion. This picturesque setting leads you to a holiday caravan site with its own golf course, that of Penrhos Golf and Country Club..
This 6,660 yard par 72 parkland course is one of those hidden gems, with excellent clubhouse and dining facilities, a day to be had to remember.
Due to the recent wet weather over the last week temporary tees were brought into operation which meant the course would be playing shorter in addition to not having any run on the fairways.
Like all courses, being on the fairway makes the game easy, but wayward shots can make a double bogey seem like a par. The first four holes into a prevailing wind with out of bounds on the right would test your abilities. Working your way round the side of the mountain, and then playing over the top gives you some stunning views. One that would flex your muscles is the 17th par 3. 160 yards off the yellow tee. This tee is approximately 150 feet above the green with bunkers in front and a river behind. With the right club selection, one can see the ball flight all the way to the pin.
