The mature parkland course set on a hill 300ft above sea level plays around and through the ancient Llwyni Wood. The memorable down-and-up short par-4 opener is followed by a pretty and very well-protected par 3 in among the trees. The 17th is perhaps the star hole visually, sweeping down to the green from a plateau fairway with a glorious backdrop of hills beyond.
