Day five and our last course on our tour of Wales, and the sun is still shinning! We chose this course as it was on our way home and easy to get to, and wanted to form our own opinion of all the comments posted here and on other sites.

For me, this was number one of the five courses we played in the week. I agree it is a course of two contrasting halves, but what is wrong with that? As a visitor do you want to struggle round 18 holes of mountain goat country, a varied mixture of holes is surely more interesting? My colleges, placed it number two behind Tenby.

First a word of advice, check with Pro shop on starting times from the 1st & 10th tees. As a 4 ball we were told it was ok to tee off on the 1st, but after 4 holes some members put us right and “suggested” we break into 2 two balls as the “rules” required. Make sure you get a course planner; it will enable you to enjoy the back nine even more, for this is where links golf really comes into its own. Some absolutely stunning golf holes, but take heed, if you play off the yellows, as we did, the maker posts will lead you a stray, as they are set up for the medal tees. It took us a few holes to realise why we were firing over the marker posts but ending up in the rough. The other experience we encountered were the pot bunkers, some of which required steps to get in and out of, on one occasion I thought I had lost my playing partner, the bunker was so deep I couldn’t see him from 20 yards away. The greens were excellent, but with so many tricky contours, not easy. After the round enjoy the friendly atmosphere and good value food in the clubhouse.

Overall impression of the course; if you are all ready a links course player, this might be not be the course for you. But if you are like the majority of English golfers, and play inland park coursers all year, this is the ideal introduction to proper golf, on a links style course, go and form your own impression, but above all else enjoy.

Played there at the club's Open day - a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A very challenging course in first class condition.

P&K as it is fondly known by its members is one of the top courses in the area,the £40-ish green fee is well worth it.the greens are superb,they are like putting on a billard table with slopes,the front nine can be quite easy on a calm day,but dont let this fool you if the wind gets up look out.the back nine is the part of the course that sorts out the men from the boys as peter allis once said at a brittish open.if you are ever in the area you must give P&K a try you wont be disapointed.

I played the Pyle and Kenfig with a friend of mine on the Saturday August bank holiday. A really great course with the first nine being semi-links/downland where you need to build up your score for the back nine. The back nine is a scenic sea-side links layout with some amazing tee shots and well placed greens. The fairways are really tight and the greens very fast. A real must if you are in the area!!

P&K is great links course of 2 distinct halves. The front nine is over heathland and gives a chance to build a score ready for the back nine which head out into the dunes. Don't leave any downhill putts - the greens are very quick. If you fancy a challenge, P&K is hosting some of the 2002 Amateur Championship qualifiers - the fairways are already being narrowed in preparation for this. If you find the green fee at nearby Royal Porthcawl too expensive, then P&K is a more than adequate alternative.
