Welcome to Southerndown Golf Club

“ – the nearest championship links-style course to the Ryder Cup venue at the Celtic Manor”

On behalf of everyone at Southerndown Golf Club, I would like to welcome you to our website.

Southerndown is a hidden gem - a unique course, part sandy links, part acid-heathland. Its unique terrain makes it one of the driest courses in Wales, with year-round golf for members and visitors alike. The course rarely closes.

Majid MaherSoutherndown is the nearest championship links-style course to the Ryder Cup venue at the Celtic Manor and visitors come from all over the world to play here. The course is a true, natural test of golf, with gorse, bracken and wind all adding to the challenge. For golfers who visit the area, the 'Southerndown experience' is certainly not to be missed: for those who are fortunate enough to live close by, membership of this fine golf club is a great opportunity and a rare privilege.

Founded in 1905 Southerndown has a wealth of golfing tradition. Many championship events have been staged here over the years, and top amateurs Peter McEvoy and Gary Wolstenholme, World Champions Bradley Dredge and Stephen Dodd - and even the legendary Gene Sarazen - have all walked the turf where we play. Henry Cotton famously called our first "One of the toughest opening holes in golf!"

You have found our website: now come and play our wonderful course. You will enjoy spectacular views: across the channel to the North Devon moors, down the Ogmore River towards Porthcawl and far away over the hills and valleys of South Wales.

I am sure you will enjoy the experience.
