Clyne Golf Club

Overview: Clyne Golf Club sits on Clyne Common above Swansea Bay, with a moorland layout that climbs and falls across open ground. The par 72 course measures about 6,432 yards and has broad views toward the bay, Bristol Channel and the Welsh mountains. Wind is a central part of the test, while heather, gorse, bunkers and sloping lies shape the approach to each green.

History: The present course is associated with Harry Colt and dates from the early twentieth century. Clyne developed on common land above Mayals and became a long-standing part of Swansea golf, with the club gradually refining its course and facilities while preserving the open character of the setting. The course's history is also linked with Percy Alliss, its first professional.

Did You Know? Percy Alliss, who was Clyne's first professional, was the father of broadcaster and Ryder Cup player Peter Alliss. That family connection gives this high common course a small but notable place in the story of British professional golf.
