Little gem.

I used the Golfnow app, and extended the range to 30 miles. I'm glad I did, because I found this little gem.
The course layout is excellent with a good mixture of holes, some are quite challenging!
The greens were on a great condition, and were quick.
I did read some of the other reviews regarding the walk between the 10/11 & 17/18, yes, it does take about 5 mins, but it gives you time to think about your next shot!
The ONLY blip on the course is the condition of the bunkers, they do need some care and attention.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this course.

Walked

parkland golf

Glyn Abbey is located in open countryside and the course is well spread out. The good features are the interesting holes, which are most of them, and the views on the back 9. The Club needs to spend money on the clubhouse facilities and the bunkers. There is also a feeling that the rough particularly on the back 9 could be cut back without spoiling the round and would enable golfers to spend less time looking for balls that go astray. The link between holes 10-11 and 17-18 is a long walk and the route through the trees is becoming impassable.

Walked

a camarthenshire course

I enjoyed 18 holes at Glyn Abbey on a warm September day. I met a member who wanted to play with me and we had an enjoyable 18 holes in good conditions. The fairways were a trifle damp with the course suffering from recent heavy rain. The greens were fair and average speed. The walk between 9/10 and 17/18 was a little tiring and frustrating but otherwise the course was a good test for most golfers.
