Golf Breaks in the Welsh Borders

Why Book a Golf Break in the Welsh Borders

The Welsh Borders brings the very best of England and Wales together. Mid-Wales' focal point is the historic town of Oswestry. A small market town in Shropshire which dates back to 1190 and is famous for its award winning markets so well worth the visit.

The whole region is a wash with great walking trails to relax away from the golf course.

Golf in the Welsh Borders

You can border hop your way North and South taking in some of the best courses that both countries have to offer. The Welsh Borders are a Parkland course lovers dream, especially with the Harry Vardon designed Llandrindod Wells GC that unusually has back to back par 3 holes mid round.

Other classics such as Cradoc GC and Welspool GC are must plays during your stay.
