Garnant Golf Club closed

You will need a 4x4 driver in the bag to make an impression at Garnant Golf Club.
The popular golf club where wonder Welsh and Ospreys wing Shane Williams is a member has been closed since shipping five inches of snow on Wednesday January 6.
The clubhouse has, however, remained open with intrepid visitors without 4X4’s parking at the bottom of the winding drive and trekking 10 minutes through the snow and ice to the venue.
Golf Club supervisor Vincent Mosson said: “We may be stopped for play with the course closing itself because of the conditions but the clubhouse continues to be a popular winter destination for visitors calling in for coffees and enjoying spectacular snowy mountain views.
“It is quite a trek up the drive but those who make it have said it has been well worthwhile and are taking a lot of photographs.”
The clubhouse is a popular venue for meetings and job vacancy interviews for businesses ion the area and Mr Mosson is ringing round all those booked in with freezing conditions predicted to prevail into the next week.
