Description

The Vale of Glamorgan is probably the richest of Welsh farming heartlands and when Peter Johnson saw 200 of its precious acres contained in the grounds of Hensol Castle just a mile or so off the M4 he knew he had found the golf site of his dreams.

A tree-lined stream meandered through the undulating meadows feeding a 20 acre lake and crossed with some old stone bridges and dam work that reeked with character. Official coach to the Welsh Golfing Union and a former Cardiff club professional, Peter had set his heart on designing a golf complex that combined an authentic championship course with the best training facilities. Backed by enthusiastic business partners, Peter has spent years bringing that dream to life supervising every step of the development that now embraces a hotel and health and racquets and indoor training facilities that are used as the training headquarters of the Welsh Rugby Union. The new Wales National is 7,433 yards and with water coming into play on a number of holes plus greens constructed to USGA standard, is destined to be ranked almost the very best in the UK. Both courses are serviced by a fleet of buggies and trolley hire is also available. With a 16-bay all weather floodlit driving range, the complex became the home of the Welsh PGA and has regularly staged their national championships.
