Prestigious Award for Royal Porthcawl Golf Club
Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, host venue of the Senior Open Championship in July 2014 has been announced as Golf Club of the Year 2013. The award was made under the Club Awards category by Club Europe through the Club Managers Association of Europe. This prestigious award covers both Royal Porthcawl’s challenging championship links course and its unique, characterful clubhouse.
In making the award, judges were looking for “…a club which manages to combine traditional standards with forward thinking strategies, encouraging new followers as well as ensuring that existing members are looked after, securing a healthy future for both the club and – at a broader level – golf in the UK”.
Royal Porthcawl was described as being one of the twelve finest courses in the world by the late Tom Scott, a leading writer on golf and former editor of Golf Illustrated. Since his day the club has acquired a large practice area and further improvements have been made to the course. Developments which keep Royal Porthcawl firmly among the world’s top golf courses. The status of the course is sustained by the many prestigious professional and amateur events held at the club over the years.
Michael Williams of the Daily Telegraph summed it all up with: “Royal Porthcawl epitomises all that is best about the game, as it once was, even down to a clubhouse that is as unchanging as the magnificent links and unrivalled hospitality.”
