A course with a view

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.

The first 10 holes of the course have the 2nd, 3rd and 4th holes bordering on cliffs. The 5th hole has a spectacular tee jutting out over the sea. The route back to the clubhouse from the 6th onwards, looking over both sea and mountains, has some of the best views of the surrounding scenery on the course. On favourable days, it is even possible to see the tops of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.

Bring in the Old, bring in the New

The "New Course" back 8 follows gently rolling fairways with strategically placed bunkers and some challenging rough for the wayward player. The 5th is a Par 4 dog-leg left, with a relatively long carry across OB to cut off the corner.

The back 8 on the Old follows the peninsula which surrounds Porth Dinllaen bay and gives spectacular views of both the surrounding bay and cliffs. In the far distance, both Anglesey and Snowdonia can be seen on most days. The 13th hole on the "Old Course" is very challenging, where the brave (or foolish) and the long can "go for it" across the cliffs.

Raise a toast

We would urge you to try both back 8's, but for us the Old would be the one to play, not just for those inspiring views and the dramatic tee shots, but after you've played the par 5 12th, there's a footpath down to the Ty Coch Inn, located on the beach at Porthdinllaen. You can enjoy a beer here sitting on their famous pub wall and soak up the sounds of the sea while taking in the wonderful views across to Mount Snowdon...before tackling those final six holes !
