Vale Resort
Plotted amid 650 acres of beautiful Welsh countryside, just 20 minutes from Cardiff, the Vale Resort Golf Club offers two fantastic championship golf courses. Both golf courses have been host to a number of PGA golf tournaments over the years, the latest being the Wales Challenge 2009, and provide a challenging, yet enjoyable, days golf on any golf break in Wales. The golf courses offer a mixture of mature wooded areas, wide and narrow fairways and vast areas of water features. The Wales National at 7,433 yards off the championship tees, is one of the longest outside America with hole 6 being voted as one of the top 10 par 4's in the UK. The Lake course, slightly shorter at 6,436 yards, is just as challenging and aptly named with water coming into play on 12 of its holes. The Vale Academy offers expert golf coaching and tuition. The Academy has state-of the art coaching video equipment and GASP advanced coaching systems (used by Sky Sports) and is one of a limited number of institutions for golf in Wales that can boast these facilties.
