Royal Porthcawl Golf Club is a golf club in Wales, north of the town of Porthcawl on the Bristol Channel. It was founded in 1891 by a group of Cardiff businessmen, who laid out a first nine-hole course on Lock's Common the following year under Charles Gibson. In 1895 the club moved to its present site, where the course was extended to eighteen holes, and Edward VII granted it royal status in 1909. The club has hosted The Amateur Championship six times, the Walker Cup in 1995, the Curtis Cup in 1964 and the Senior Open Championship in 2014, 2017 and 2023, although the R&A said in 2015 that it had no intention of taking The Open there.
