About the St Pierre Old Course

A faithful lieutenant to William the Conquerer, St. Pierre was rewarded for his noble service with more than 400 acres in the picturesque Wye Valley in Wales. Six hundred years later, St. Pierre’s manor estate has become one of the premier golfing venues in Europe featuring two 18-hole courses. Nestled among the ancient trees and peaceful hills, St. Pierre Country Club is a top destination for professional and amateur golfers alike.

Sharing these beautiful grounds is the St Pierre, A Marriott Hotel & Country Club, a classic and elegant retreat with all the contemporary comforts including a swimming pool and health spa and a haven for golf lovers.

For anyone who loves the game of golf, there are few places that offer such a stunning setting and range of course challenges than St. Pierre Country Club. It features two 18-hole courses that wind through some of the oldest and most prized trees in Europe.

The famous Old Course has played host to many top tournaments from the PGA Welsh Masters to the Solheim Cup and Dunlop Masters. The Mathern Course is shorter, yet presents its own unique challenges.
