Llandrindod Wells

This secluded club was founded in 1905 and its elevated, joy-making course was designed by Harry Vardon, with modifications in the 1930s by James Braid. There are no sand bunkers, but there are blind shots and tons of old-fashioned charm. The reward for any climbing here is spectacular views as well as some thrilling, elevated drives. For glorious vistas and a fun-filled and peaceful round, this is up there with the best.
