\"Looking<\/a>

Looking back down the 13th hole from the 14th tee \u00a9 planetgolfreview<\/p><\/div>\n

Pyle and Kenfig must feel like the forgotten brother of a famous actor or world champion, living in the shadow of the Royal course up the road that\u2019s less than a 10-minute drive away.<\/p>\n

But this is no ugly duckling of a course. Placed on any other coastline in Wales this track would surely attract all the accolades it deserves, especially the back nine where the holes weave themselves through the sand dunes \u2013 the highlights of which are the 13th and 14th with their amphitheatre-like greens. Pyle and Kenfig will be hosting pre-qualifying for next year\u2019s Senior Open Championship, which shows the regard it\u2019s held in by the R&A. You can bet the 13th and 14th will draw a large amount of spectators because of the wonderful viewing points from the fairway and greens.<\/p>\n

The venue offers a hearty welcome and a packed bar \u2013 even if it was to watch the Lions play rugby \u2013 is always a good sign of how well supported the club is. \u00a0If you want to enjoy the hospitality even more the club have just built a new Dormy House right on the course which comes with a full Welsh breakfast to start the day.<\/p>\n
