Southerndown is a hidden gem, unique in offering part sandy links and part acid-heathland, and due to its terrain it is one of the driest courses to be found throughout the land. We offer all-year-round golf being rarely closed to members and visitors alike.

Southerndown is the nearest championship links-style course to the Celtic Manor resort. Founded in 1905, we have a wealth of tradition. Visitors from all over the world have played our course and many championship events have been staged here over the years. Top amateurs like Peter McEvoy and Gary Wolstenholme, world cup winners Stephen Dodd and Bradley Dredge, and the legendary Gene Sarazen have all graced our fairways. Henry Cotton described our first as "one of the toughest opening holes in golf!"

Southerndown is a true test of golf, don’t expect target golf here. This is a course where you have to manage your game through the natural contours and firm greens, around the gorse and bracken and pot bunkers - and then there is the wind off the sea! This is golf as it should be.
