All Inclusive Golf Wales

Three championship courses, a Ryder Cup venue, a hotel, a spa and the dining all on one estate: Wales does the all inclusive golf break as well as anywhere in Britain. Base yourself at a resort, bundle the rooms, the meals and the rounds into one price, and add the country's great links when you want a day out.

Who this trip suits

An all inclusive golf break suits the group that wants everything in one place and one price: the course outside the window, breakfast and dinner taken care of, a spa and a bar for the evenings, and no need to drive between rounds. Wales is built for it. A handful of full resorts put multiple championship courses, hotels and restaurants on a single estate, so a buddies group, a society or a couple can settle in for a few nights and simply play, eat and relax.

It works best for golfers who value comfort and simplicity over hopping around, and for mixed groups where not everyone plays every day, since the resort gives the non golfers a spa, a pool and somewhere good to wait. From a resort base you can still reach the great Welsh links for a day, so the all inclusive stay becomes the comfortable hub of a week that takes in some of the finest golf in Britain.

The golf to build it around

Twenty Ten, Celtic Manor

The Ross McMurray design that was the first course in history purpose built to host the Ryder Cup, which it staged in 2010. A dramatic valley course with water and grandstands, the headline round of any Wales break.

Roman Road and Montgomerie, Celtic Manor

The resort's other two championship courses, the Robert Trent Jones Sr designed Roman Road on the higher ground and the Montgomerie, give a full all inclusive week without leaving the estate.

The Vale Resort, near Cardiff

An alternative all inclusive base with two courses on site, a large hotel and spa, and easy reach of Cardiff. A good value resort for a stay and play group.

Royal Porthcawl

The finest course in Wales, a sublime and testing links on the south coast where the sea is in view from every hole. The day trip that lifts an all inclusive break into a serious golf trip.

Machynys Peninsula

A modern Jack Nicklaus design near Llanelli on Carmarthen Bay, a links influenced parkland with water and big views, an excellent and reasonably priced day out from a southern base.

Nefyn and the north

For trips based further north, Nefyn and District is a famous clifftop course on the Llyn peninsula with the sea on three sides, one of the most spectacular and enjoyable rounds in the country.

Course facts verified June 2026 from the resorts, clubs and recognized golf sources. The Twenty Ten Course was designed by Ross McMurray and hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup; the Roman Road Course was laid out by Robert Trent Jones Sr and opened in 1995; Machynys is a Jack Nicklaus design. Access, conditioning and green fees change, so always confirm with each resort or club before booking.

How much does an all inclusive golf holiday in Wales cost?

Welsh green fees range from around 70 pounds at the great clifftop and links courses to about 179 to 210 pounds for the Twenty Ten at Celtic Manor in peak 2026. A resort stay and play break that bundles rooms, breakfast, dinner and several rounds typically lands in the low to mid hundreds per person per night depending on the resort and season. Figures are indicative for 2026; always confirm directly before booking.

When is the best time for a golf trip to Wales?

May to September gives the warmest, driest weather and the firmest turf on the links, with long daylight for 36 hole days.
