This was the recent write up by GOLF MONTHLY after visiting SPGC and other courses in Pembrokeshire. There were also photos in the article which are not included in this post.
South Pembrokeshire
Par 70, 6,086 yards

Slightly further west are two interesting and quite unusual courses that border the wide Milford Haven Waterway. Oddly to me as a lover of the countryside, the industrial make-up of this shipping lane actually adds to the visual interest. My first port of call was for a game with Peter Rice, the president of South Pembrokeshire Golf Club.
The course opened as a nine-holer in 1969, at which time its home was a part of the very distinct Old Defensible Barracks, which were built in 1844. When a second nine was added nearly 30 years ago, the club moved to today's purpose-built clubhouse.
The clubhouse at South Pembrokeshire was once situated inside the old barracks.
Standout holes are the excellent 5th, with its scary approach over a hidden valley, the 10th, which plays gently up to the barracks, and the outrageously tough par-4 15th β possibly the longest 400 yards in world golf. I very much enjoyed visiting this friendly and informal club.
