Fairwood Park Golf Club 0.0 0 reviews

Situated in the heart of the Gower Peninsula (Britain’s first designated ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), Fairwood Park is set in 150 acres of fabulous woodland and parkland countryside and to this day remains the only golf course within the County of Swansea to have ever hosted a PGA event, a fact that means those who play here should be in no doubt as to the quality of golfing experience that awaits them.

With over 15,000 mature trees and water coming into play on nearly half of its holes, Fairwood Park is an outstanding example of woodland/parkland golf at its best with wide, forgiving fairways which nonetheless punish the most wayward of drives by forcing the overly ambitious to take some ‘wedge medicine’ out of the trees with their 2nd shot!

As the flattest of all the golf courses on the Gower Peninsula, Fairwood Park can be enjoyed by golfers from right across the entire age spectrum, something that’s of particular benefit to those players whose main interest lies in golfing rather than mountaineering! In a nation characterised by hills and valleys, Fairwood Park is one of Wales’ least tiring rounds of golf.

Measuring just shy of 6,700 yards off the Championship Tees, Fairwood Park’s layout was designed in 1969 by the renowned Hawtree dynasty of course architects, who proudly lay claim to being the longest continuous golf course architecture practice in the world. Indeed, Fairwood is one of just two Hawtree designed golf courses in South Wales and its superb layout is a testament to the Hawtree company’s work, a golf architectural dynasty that has been involved in over 750 course design projects since 1912.
