Trefloyne Golf Club

Overview: Known today as Longbury Golf Course at Trefloyne, this 18-hole parkland course lies in the Ritec Valley near Tenby and Penally. Its elevated ground gives views toward Tenby, Carmarthen Bay and the surrounding Pembrokeshire countryside. The routing moves through rolling, tree-lined terrain rather than the nearby seaside links, creating a useful contrast within a small area. At around 6,650 yards and par 72, it combines full-length holes with changes in elevation that influence both club choice and the view from the tee.

History: Trefloyne’s own history dates the course design to 1996 and describes it as roughly 25 years old, indicating a mid-1990s origin for the present layout. A regional tourism listing instead gives 1992 as the construction date; because the official course account associates its development with the 1996 design, the profile uses that date as the clearest evidence for the routing. The architect is not named by the available official material. The manor and golf course now share a property, but they have distinct histories.

Did You Know? Trefloyne’s highest point is singled out by the course’s own hole guide for its view over Tenby and Caldey Island. That vantage point helps explain the routing’s appeal: the round is not simply a sequence of tree-lined holes, but a gradual encounter with the wider Ritec Valley landscape. The resort’s current name, Longbury Golf Course at Trefloyne, also reflects its close relationship with Trefloyne Manor, while the directory’s older club label remains a recognizable name for the same course.
