The championship card extends to about 6,680 yards, with a published rating of 73.0 and slope of 127 from the longest rated setup. Willie Fernie created the first course in 1905-06, after which the layout evolved through work by several major architects, including Herbert Fowler, Willie Park Jr.
and Harry S. Colt. The combination of exposed limestone terrain, turf and coastal influence gives Southerndown a links character despite its elevated inland position.

Southerndown's first course was designed by Willie Fernie, then professional at Glamorganshire Golf Club. While construction proceeded, members used a temporary five-hole course from autumn 1905 and a professional's shed served as a makeshift clubhouse.
The course is the product of several distinct architectural stages rather than a single design campaign. Fernie's initial routing was followed by alterations from Herbert Fowler in 1907-08, Willie Park Jr. in 1913-14 and Harry Colt in 1919-20.
Successive changes during the club's first two decades established the routing and architectural character associated with Southerndown today.
Southerndown remains an 18-hole par-70 course with online visitor tee-time booking.
