If a round is part of your idea of a good week away, Glynneath Golf Club is an easy twenty minutes down the valley — a friendly members’ club that welcomes visitors and pay-and-play golfers.
The 18-hole parkland course rolls over hillside on the western edge of the National Park, with genuine long views over the Vale of Neath from the higher holes. It’s a relaxed, scenic round rather than a championship test — all the better for a holiday.
It’s worth a quick call ahead to book a tee time, especially at weekends or when a competition is on.
