Clyne Golf Club opened in 1921 and was created by Harry Colt, the architect of some of England’s most prestigious golfing venues. The outstanding location ensures that golfers enjoy stunning views in all directions of Swansea Bay, the Bristol Channel, the Brecon Beacons and Gower’s towering Cefn Bryn to the North.
The figure of eight layout is perched on the high ground of Clyne Common about four hundred feet above sea level meaning the wind is always a factor. The course contains some very long par 4's and tight short holes while the greens are even paced and always receptive, meaning accurate approaches will yield good scoring but straying from the target by just a little can result in severe penalties.
Percy Alliss began his professional career at Royal Porthcawl and became Clyne's professional in 1920. His son, the famous golf commentator Peter Alliss, has included Clyne in his Best 200 Golf Courses in the British Isles, writing "If my father had not been a travelling man, I might well have been brought up here".
In the classical style that reflects Clyne’s historical roots, the course loops out and back, and is a hugely enjoyable par-72 layout that often holds County events and is an essential addition to a good Swansea golf tour.
