Signature Hole (shown above)

18th Hole - Par 4 - 410 Yards - SI 11 (Information taken from White Tee Boxes)

This hole emphasises the statement made by a leading golf writer that Royal Porthcawl is a thinking man’s golf course. With the wind off the sea, this has to be one of the finest finishing holes in golf.  Famously during the 1995 Walker Cup, a young Tiger Woods hit his 7 iron approach shot through the green and onto Porthcawl's beach to lose his match.

Pro Tip:  Club selection throughout this hole is critical. The second shot is played to a green running from front to back with magnificent rolls and undulations that require careful putting.
