St Giles Golf Club sits on the outskirts of Newtown in the heart of Powys. It's a nine-hole parkland course and, like so many courses in this part of the world, is surprisingly easy on the legs.

Played as an 18-holer, it measures just over 6,000 yards and, with a par of 70, provides a very good all round test of golf. There are some lovely holes, notably the second, which is a fine par-3, and the par-4 fourth.

Some of the holes are flanked by the River Severn and the chances are that you would really enjoy a visit to this little gem.
