One gets a very nice impression as you approach the club and clubhouse. This mature parkland course has all the ingredients of a Victorian country estate and mansion house of bygone times known as Penoyre park.
The mansion house has been completely re-developed and restored to its former glory externally, and internally re-designed into apartments with the backdrop of the golf course laid out before it.
The course is relatively young, opened in 1967 and boosts 6,188 yards par / sss. 71. With a variety of well established trees, this coupled with, the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, only adds to the delight of the day.
Slightly overcast and moderate winds coming from the southwest would give rise to some good golf.
With six bogeys on the front nine meant it was all to do on the back nine. Some good accurate drives and on the greens in regulation returned the back nine in 37, two over.
The course was in excellent condition, one not to miss if you are in Mid Wales, one that I will be coming back to play.
With a driving range available and excellent clubhouse facilities to round off your day, what more could be better?
Conditions: Overcast with moderate winds.
