The Vale Resort

The Vale Resort set amidst over 650 acres of beautiful Welsh countryside, is now firmly established as one of the UK’s most desirable golf destinations. Once part of the Hensol Castle estate – a 17th century stately home, the Resort is home to a luxuriously appointed 143 bedroom, four star hotel with the majority of the rooms affording superb views of the golf course and surrounding countryside. Every aspect of the Resort has been designed to maximise comfort and convenience for every type of golfer. The Vale boasts two championship standard golf courses, the highly acclaimed 7,433 yard Wales National and the aptly named Lake course, two courses that have further boosted Wales’ reputation as an elite golfing destination in the build up to the 2010 Ryder Cup. Golf facilities here also include a teaching academy, 16-bay floodlight driving range, putting greens, a well stocked pro-shop plus a fleet of buggies.
