Description
ROYAL PORTHCAWL GOLF CLUB, established in 1891, is located north of Porthcawl, Mid Glamorgan in Wales. Cardiff was a thriving port in the second half of the nineteenth century and in 1891 a group of businessmen decided to build a golf course near Porthcawl. They approached the Porthcawl Vestry and were granted permission to build a nine hole course on locks common. The following year, Charles Gibson, the professional at Westwood Ho!, was asked to lay the course out and work started on clearing the common which was covered in gorse and bracken. In 1885, the new course was extended to eighteen holes creating South Wales’ first 18 hole golf course. continued..
