The Links in the Sky

The coastline is rugged, the air is fresh, and the fairways roll straight into the sea. It’s got championship courses that fly under the radar, it’s hosted a Ryder Cup and produced Major Champions.

Yet it remains a hidden gem. A golfer’s dream, sitting quietly between England and the Irish Sea.

Wales offers some of the greatest, authentic golf that the UK has to offer. The epitome of that lies at Pennard Golf Club on the Gower Peninsula, the location for capturing the new and improved Gailes Windbreaker.

Pennard Golf Club, known as the Links in the Sky, was founded in 1896. Perched on the Gower Peninsula and overlooking the dramatic Three Cliffs Bay, the course is home to a near perfect collection of par 3s.

The county of Glamorgan isn’t far removed from Tolkien’s dream like landscapes. The view from the 7th green has to be one of the most dramatic in the country.

Built to take on holes off the beaten track. The new and improved Gailes Windbreaker offers protection from the elements, so you can explore without limits.
