Wales is home to roughly 200 golf courses including some wonderful seaside links courses reminscent of Irish courses.
For a small country, Wales packs a lot in!
It's a celtic country, west of England, and is about 250kms long and 90 kms wide.
There is a lot of sightseeing - majestic castles, 3 national parks with hiking trails, 10 great little steam trains, and lots of colourful market towns.
Despite it's size, Wales has 641 castles and these castles are the most popular tourist attraction in Britain with foreign visitors (according to a recent VisitBritain report)
In 2012 Lonely Planet's Best in Travel publication rated Coastal Wales as the greatest region on earth to visit!!
And then there is the golf.
Any golfing trip to Wales should concentrate on the unique links courses on the coast. Some are known around the world, some are just outrageously fun and funky.
Interestingly, the Ryder Cup in 2010 was hosted at Celtic Manor - an inland course in Wales.
