Ever since it opened in 2005, Machynys Peninsula has captured the imagination of the golfing public. Its superb Nicklaus Design championship course overlooks the stunning Carmarthen Bay, making it a truly spectacular setting in which to enjoy a round.

Machynys is scheduled to host the The Lancer Scott Euro Pro Championship and the The Welsh PGA Championships in 2022 and played host to numerous top-flight professional events over the past 13 years. Tommy Fleetwood has said This is arguably the best manmade links in the world’.

Playing to 7,121 yards off the back tees – with multiple teeing options to suit all skill levels – it features no fewer than 25 acres of lakes, with water coming into play on two-thirds of the holes. Straight driving is essential to avoid these hazards, while accurate approach shots are needed to negotiate the clever bunkering around the sizeable USGA-standard greens – which are always presented in superb condition.

The course is routed in two loops, with a parkland front nine and an inward half that has more of a links feel beside the sea. Gary Nicklaus highlighted the 16th as one his favourites, a 461-yard par four which is played across a lake from behind the clubhouse, with the green offering a view of the entire bay.

The stylish, modern clubhouse features a bar and restaurant, function rooms, pro shop and golf superstore, while practise facilities include a putting green and driving range.
