GOLF ON THE GOWER PENINSULA
Set amongst some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the country, it is no suprise that Gower’s golf courses are rapidly establishing themselves as firm favourites amongst the UK’s golfing fraternity. Most clubs here will accept visitors as long as they hold membership to their homebased golf club. It is always advisable though to telephone the club you intend to visit before setting off to make sure that they have a space available for you. Not all of Gower’s courses are aimed at the experts, however. The peninsula also has courses for the as yet uninitiated to the sport and for young children also.
