The Brynamman Golf Club was listed in the Golfer's Handbook from 1928 - 1933.

When the course closed in the 1930s the Ammanford golfers moved to play on the Llandeilo course.

I visited the area in 2004 but could find no evidence of any remaining features of the course. The course was thought, according to a couple of locals I met, to have been laid out on land behind the Black Mountain Inn.
