Courses to play
Royal St David’s - Links Par 69 Yards 6571 Founded 1894
A former president of Royal St David's put it perfectly: "Harlech is a magical place". So it is. Deep in Merlin country, the course is in the shadow of the towering castle built by Edward I in the 13th century to keep the Welsh in check. It is a matter of historic irony that those majestic ramparts now form the backcloth of a golf course that subjugates Englishmen or, indeed, any visitor.
Royal St David's - like Royal Porthcawl - would be counted in any list of the world's best courses. When the castle was built, the sea lapped the rocks beneath it but over the centuries retreated to leave the expanse of natural linksland that was never meant to be anything other that a great golf course.
Only twice do successive holes proceed the same direction so the wind invariably spreads trouble among the dunes and although it is not long, it has been described by professionals as the world's toughest par 69. Host to a throng of championships in its time including the 2001 Wales Seniors Open and favoured by all manner of men – in 1934, King George V was Patron and the Prince of Wales was Captain – Royal St David's has rewarded many a long journey with a unique experience.
Nefyn – Cliff top Links Par 71 - 6548yds Founded 1907
Arguably the finest views in UK golf await you at Nefyn & District GC which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2007.The New course is the longer of the 2 courses with only 3 par 3’s and strategically placed bunkers waiting the errant tee or second shot. On a clear day the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland can be seen. The Old course follows the peninsula where you will enjoy some outstanding views and challenging holes.
Porthmadog - Links / Parkland Par 71 - 6322 yds Founded 1905
Designed by James Braid the Course is made up of two distinct halves. The front nine are away from the coast and although the soil and terrain are more accurately described as heathland – water makes an appearance on five of these holes. The back nine head for the sea, and some beautiful scenery. The course is transformed into pure links that has been likened to a miniature Troon
Pwllheli - Links/Parkland Par 69 - 6108 yds Founded 1900
The first 9 holes were designed by Tom Morris of Hoylake in 1900 and ran along the sand dunes. The course was extended to 18 holes in 1909 when the course architect was 5 times British Open Champion James Braid. Pwllheli has often been described as a unique golf course with 9 holes being gentle parkland and 9 holes being a true test of links golf. One of the top 200 courses in the UK
Aberdovey - Links Par 71 - 6445yds Founded 1892
It says much for Aberdovey that among the legions captivated by this classic links course are two golfing greats from different times and backgrounds. Bernard Darwin, of Cambridge and The Times, was a top amateur – he played in the first Walker Cup match in 1922 – and the first literary giant of the game. Ian Woosnam, from a Welsh border farm, fought his way up through the professional ranks to become Wales's first major championship winner. They both fell in love with Aberdovey.
Darwin was there when the club was founded in 1892 but remembers golf being played on that precious strip of turf between sea and the seashore and hills in the early 1800's when they cut nine flowerpots into the soil as holes. Woosnam has also found it to be a spiritual home and has sought respite there from the demands of the world circuit. The course is just outside the pretty resort at the mouth of the Dovey and wends a traditional route out and back, with sand dunes as sentinels and the wind as friend and foe. It is a place worth a long pilgrimage for any golfer.
Abersoch - Parkland Par 69 - 5671 yds Founded 1908
This 60 acre golf course, adjoining the beach, is a combination of parkland and links golf set in both a picturesque and challenging position. The Abersoch golf course was designed by Harry Vardon in 1907. He was one of golf's famous, winning The Open Championship six times, the last at Prestwick in 1914. Harry Vardon described the original course as 'The finest 9 hole course in Wales'.
Caernarfon - Parkland Par69 5941yds Founed 1900
Even the most focussed golfer can’t remain oblivious to the stunning surroundings and at Caernarfon they are particularly proud of the spectacular sights of the mountains, the Menai Strait and Anglesey that can be seen from everywhere on the courses. The course was redesigned in 1981 and recent clubhouse comments claim it has never played better - a friendly welcome and a nice unwind to any tour or short break.
