North Wales Golf Club
Par/SSS: 71/71 Yards: 6287
Type: Links Holes: 18
Green Fee £15 - £40
Ever since its opening back in 1894 Llandudno (North
Wales) has garnered itself a highly respected reputation
having hosted seemingly every top regional event
imaginable.
The course is situated on Llandudno’s
West Shore, overlooking Conway Bay, therefore provides
a quite
stunning links test. It is a natural links course
in every aspect with the front line like similar
to Troon, in that it runs alongside a railway line
with the homeward stretch along the coast.
A particular highlight, aside from the spectacular
views, is the tricky par threes where a par feels
like a birdie.

Maesdu Golf Club
Par/SSS: 72/72 Yards: 6545
Type: Parkland Holes: 18
Green Fee £25 - £30
Llandudno (Maesdu) lies just opposite Llandudno
(North Wales) and enjoys the very same views of Snowdonia
and Conwy. But while the North Wales course is distinctly
a links course, the Maesdu layout takes on a more
parkland feel. It has hosted plenty of Welsh amateur
events and some of its past members have gone on
to enjoy wonderful amateur careers which has helped
to create a name for the club.
Visitors are very welcome and the patter in the
clubhouse is worth the green fee alone. That patter,
however, should give you some clues as how to play
the course, as it can be quite tricky at times.

Abergele Golf Club
Par/SSS: 72/71 Yards: 6520
Type: Parkland Holes: 18
Green Fee £20 - £35
Abergele was done away with in the late 1960s to
make way for a motorway in the cruellest of fashions
but a rival quickly ensued as enthusiastic members
decided not to give in and built another course nearby.
The result is a course that’s love by members and
visitors alike some forty years on. The Abergele
course now sits at the foot of Gwyrch Castle and
exudes wonderful views of the town itself and beyond.
There are plenty of exciting holes on this beautiful
layout, especially the par threes which enjoy magnificent
backdrops. Eye-catching and challenging, this is
a 'must play' during any visit to Wales.
