The star of Bridgend’s golfing landscape is Royal Porthcawl, where the first few holes bring alive all one’s golfing senses. But my mission on this trip was to explore what else can tempt the golfer to this part of south Wales.
First stop was Coed-y-Mwstwr Golf Club. Its 1st hole takes some finding. The nearest tee box to the clubhouse is 7 (formerly the 1st hole of a 12-hole course). To find the 1st tee you go halfway down the 7th fairway, turn left, cross a road, and encounter paths heading left and right, with no obvious clue as to which to pick. I chose right and we embarked on an unguided tour of this part of the golf course. Pick left.
