Affectionately known as “P&K,” Pyle & Kenfig is one of the most underrated links courses in the UK. Located beside Royal Porthcawl, it shares similar coastal terrain but remains less travelled – a treat for those in the know. The front nine is gentler, more open, with inland views and a warm-up feel. But the course transforms dramatically from the 10th onwards. The back nine tumbles through massive sand dunes with elevated tees, blind shots, and sweeping sea views. It’s a thrilling, natural stretch – pure links golf. The par-5 11th and par-3 14th are standouts, demanding both strategy and bravery. Greens are firm and often raised, with run-offs that reward imagination. While the routing may feel like two courses in one, the balance works. It’s fun, fair, and frequently spectacular. P&K is a true links adventure – less polished than its neighbours, but all the more lovable for it.
