Situated in North Wales upon the cliffs of the Lleyn peninsula, it uses this spectacular positioning to the fullest with stretches of the links encompassing the cliffs and the headland. It’s a proud boast of the club that you will never lose sight of the sea from any point on the course. |
The second boast is that they never close so golf can be experienced in all four seasons. 83rd in the Golf World Top 100 courses in the British Isles 2002 |

Description |
The choice of courses in England is almost endless for the discerning golf visitor. There are mighty seaside links such as those of Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake,where the Amateur Championship was born and where Bobby Jones won the Open Championship in his historic Grand Slam year of 1930. There is plenty of historic interest in English golf, with the oldest existing course in England and Westward Ho in Devon. The club was formed there in 1864 and today sheep continue to grace the ancient links on this common land. |
