Golf in Monmouthshire
Many top class venues in the Wye Valley & Vale of Usk including;
Monmouthshire Golf Club - The Monmouthshire is a course that suits all levels of golfer and indeed all ages. The course is set against the beautiful scenery of the Usk valley. It is surrounded by the Blorenge, Sugar Loaf and Skirrid Mountains. It is a superb example of a mature parkland course which, from the back tees can be as tough as it is beautiful, and it is said to be the oldest 18 hole golf course in the County of Monmouthshire. The River Usk runs alongside the 6th hole and it is bordered by agricultural land which gives a real country feeling. Contact 01873 852606 Gysy Lane, LLanfoist, Abergavenny NP7 9HE
