Aberdare Golf Club

Founded in 1921 as a parkland course at Abernant, Aberdare is renowned for its mature oak trees and was the early stamping ground of Dai Rees, who began his professional career there as a 16-year-old assistant before going on to captain Great Britain's Ryder Cup team. The course offers a varied test of three par 5s, nine par 4s and six par 3s amid attractive, tree-lined Valleys scenery.
