Beautiful view

Returned to play for a second time because of the great view. The course was an old natural course so can be rather naturally rocky at parts. Challenging layout. Some crossovers of fairways where one need to watch out for dangers. Staff and members were extremely helpful and friendly.

Good course when not too busy

Great course for all levels. Greens in good condition. A few fairways are crossovers or too close to each other without clear separation treelines. Therefore can be dangerous if the course is busy. It was fortunately not the case on our day of play there. Good value for money though.

Great views

On arrival we were greeted in the Pro shop by being told the tee time we booked was unavailable because Golf now never contacts the club to reserve the time, we were told we would have to tee off 30 minutes later than the time booked. I didn’t think the greeting was handled professionally and I was made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome by the manner of the staff member.
Having waited to play it was well worth while the course was in excellent condition and members on the course made us feel very welcome. Some fantastic views across parts of the Brecon national park and Merthyr.

Winter Golf at Morlais Castle

Considering time of year and course bordering Breacon Beacons. Obviously course not at its best, but a really enjoyable fourball. Most holes give choice of winter tee or grass. Greens really good for winter.
Friendly pro shop and great Club staff. Not the first visit here and definitely not the last. A must to visit if in the area.

Fantastic course for the money!

Tough few holes to start where a straight drive is key. Then opened up with some superb views of the surroundings. Fairways were nice and sponges allowing you to take a divot. Members, pro shop staff and bar staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Stopped for a club sandwich and beer too which was great. We will definitely return in the future .
