The Groes is a revelation for those who mourn the passing of the great British inn - a traditional refuge of travellers, with a warm welcome, and homely comforts. As the first licensed house in Wales (1573), The Groes Inn has kept the spirit of hospitality alive for more than four centuries. It's character is timeless. Only it's facilities have been carefully and sensitively updated to provide exceptional standards of service. The location is breathtakingly beautiful. To the front are magnificent views of the river Conwy and surrounding hills; behind, the slopes rising towards Snowdonia.

Conwy Golf Club lies at the mouth of the River Conwy, overlooked on its south side by Conwy Mountain and on its north side overlooking the Estuary and Llandudno's Great Orme. The course is a typical links course, providing a stern test of golf, particularly over the last five holes, where an abundance of gorse adds to the challenge. Very rarely are there days when the wind does not blow and it is this added factor which, as on so many links courses, can make or break a round

The glorious setting for the Royal St David’s links at Harlech is nothing short of beautiful and romantic. The forbidding medieval Harlech castle and towering sand dunes guard the course. Behind the dunes, to the northwest, is the sweeping bay of Tremedog and to the north are views across to Snowdon and the lesser peaks of Snowdonia. No golf course in the world has a more splendid background than the old castle, which stands at the top of a sheer precipice of rock looking down over the links.

Holyhead Golf Club was designed by the ubiquitous James Braid in 1912. The fairwaysare narrow and undulating, while the rough comprises of gorse, heather and bracken giving the golfer a real challenge. Add to this the variable wind which whips in from the Irish Sea and you have a course that can change its character from day to day or even hour to hour. With some panoramic views over Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula, each hole genuinely gives the golfer something different to think about, whilst the greens have a reputation of being the best in North Wales

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 similar in some ways to Troon, in that it runs alongside a railway line with the homeward stretch along the coast.
