Hole 3 - Nant Y Celyn

505 Yards | Par 5 | S.I. 4

PAR 5 | S.I. 4

Overview

Whilst not a particularly long Par 5 by modern standards the third hole at Glynneath is infamous amongst its members. A swinging dog leg from right to left which beautifully follows the rolling landscape poses challenges on every part of the hole. Positioning is absolutely vital with large trees waiting to punish errant shots.

Pro Tip

“The first par 5 on the course is renowned amongst members as a potential card wrecker. The safe play is to aim at the last tree that lines the right hand side of the fairway, then it’s a choice of laying up or going for glory and taking on the large oak tree defending the green.”
