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 ConwayBay, 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 theNorth 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.
