The 'Beautiful Game' of Golf Three of our (many) local courses feature in the top 100 course in the UK. A fantastic area for golf, with breath-taking views, great food & drinks and value-for-money accommodation.
Nefyn and District Golf Club was formed in 1907 The course was converted from 9 holes to 18 holes in 1912 and after many minor transformations, a further 9 holes were added in 1933 (only 26 holes are now being played). The course now consists of a front 10 holes and two distinctly different back 8 holes. It is a proud boast of the club and its members that you can see the sea from every tee on the course. The epithet "This is the most beautiful course I have ever played" has come both from visitors from all over the world and from many critical reviews in books and magazines.
Since its foundation in 1894, the championship links of the Royal St. David's Golf Club has occupied the dune land between Harlech Castle and the sea. Apart from the quality of the holes and severity of the test, the views of the Snowdon Mountains, the magnificent Castle and, at last, from the 16th tee, the Lleyn peninsular across Tremadog Bay, make Harlech one of the finest situations of any course in Britain. Much of the course is a site of special scientific interest and the profusion and variety of wild orchids in the rough in early summer are a joy, even if one's play falls short of one's hopes.
Located in the market town of Pwllheli in Gwynedd North Wales. This half parkland, half links Championship course was designed by Tom Morris of Hoylake and opened in 1900. There are superb views of Snowdonia and over Cardigan Bay, the Clubhouse is closer to the sea than any other Golf Clubhouse in the UK.
Porthmadog and Borth-y-Gest Golf Club, as it was originally called, was opened in the very early 1900's probably being played by 1905. Numerous changes and modifications have been carried out since those early days when members were expected to pay compensation for any grazing animals killed or injured by them.
