Our iconic links course, perched 200 feet above sea level, offers a unique blend of challenging play and breathtaking coastal vistas across Three Cliffs Bay. As a private members' club with a welcoming ethos, we balance tradition with accessibility, maintaining tight fairways, fast greens, and revetted bunkers that test players of all abilities. Our thriving community includes men's, ladies', junior, and veterans' sections, supported by professional staff dedicated to nurturing talent and fostering lifelong friendships. The clubhouse provides panoramic views and hospitality seven days a week, with both formal dining and casual refreshments available.While membership traditionally grows through personal referrals, we actively welcome new applicants who appreciate our commitment to preserving this 'Links in the Sky'. The course's strategic design by James Braid and CK Cotton ensures year-round playability, with drainage systems maintaining optimal conditions even in winter months. Our facilities also accommodate private events, combining historic charm with modern functionality. With a legacy praised by golf writers like James W Finegan, we continue to offer an unforgettable experience that transcends mere sport.
