Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales (15 mins from Cardiff City Centre and 3 mins from Junction 34 of the M4).

The Vale Resort is now home to two championship golf courses making it one of Wales' most desirable golfing destinations. The PGA Wales National is a par 73 monster measuring 7,413 yards and is set to become one of the top inland courses in the country. All the greens have been constructed to USGA standards and water is a predominant feature throughout nearly every hole on the course.

The other course at The Lakes has already played host to three Welsh PGA Championships. Despite being nearly a 1000 yards shorter in length it is still considered to be an equal test of your golfing ability.

The Vale Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort is nestled in over 600 acres of beautiful countryside, it is difficult to imagine that you are only minutes from the M4 motorway and less than 20 minutes from Cardiff. The Resort was once part of the estate of Hensol Castle - a stately home built originally in the mid 17th century. The views of the castle and lake from certain parts of The Lakes Course are considered among the best in Wales. Every aspect of the resort has been designed to maximise comfort and convenience, the majority of the 143 bedrooms affording superb views of the golf course or surrounding countryside. The leisure and sports facilities are truly top class and regularly used by Wales national sports teams - with a state of the art gymnasium, luxury 20m indoor pool, fitness studios, squash and tennis courts, sauna, steam room and a whirlpool bath. The Vale Spa offers individual therapies, including holistic, therapeutic and beauty treatments, as well as special programme's providing guests with the ultimate in Spa treatments.
