They say good things come in small packages and that could never be truer when it comes to short but sturdy, nine-hole golf courses. Machynlleth is every inch your quintessential short course; enjoyable, entertaining and with superb views to match.

It is a heathland course in nature with a variety of teasing holes, including the opening par four at 276 yards.

It may be a relatively straightforward start but you are then presented with a fairly tough par five followed by a par three at 227-yards - nothing straightforward there!
