The ‘Mumbles Mile': The ultimate golf break from £155pp
Two nights' B&B and three rounds of golf from £155pp

This April, Golf on Gower is offering two nights' bed and breakfast accommodation at the Carlton Hotel and three rounds of golf at the local golf courses of your choice from only £155pp. Ideally located on the ‘Mumbles Mile', within easy reach of all the local attractions and just 15 minutes away from some of the country's best golf courses, the ‘Mumbles Mile' short break is the perfect golfing treat this spring.

Boasting stunning views of the Gower, the Carlton Hotel is an impressive Victorian building with panoramic views across Swansea Bay. This independent family-run hotel is situated on the scenic Mumbles seafront, less than seven miles drive from the nearest golf course, one of which has played host to Michael Douglas. With four courses nearby offering a challenging mix of links/heath and parkland of par 71/72 over an average of 6,000 yards, the ‘Mumbles Mile' is a fantastic short break for golf lovers of all interests and abilities.

The ‘Mumbles Mile' golf package is fittingly named after the famous stretch of Mumbles seafront; historically lined with over 26 pubs in just one mile. Home of the celebrated poet Dylan Thomas' favourite watering holes, a drink in each pub traditionally proved quite a challenge. The ‘Mumbles Mile' is now a hive of activity; though not all 26 pubs are there today there is a superb selection of restaurants bars and shops to relax in after a day on the course.
