HOTEL
  
     
 
Groes Inn, Near Conwy, North Wales
  
 
 
 

The Groes is a revelation for those who mourn the passing of the great British inn - a traditional refuge of travellers, which blends the warm welcome of a local pub with the homely comforts of a good bed and wholesome food. As the first licensed house in Wales, The Groes Inn has kept the spirit of hospitality alive for more than four centuries. It's character is timeless. Only its’ facilities have been carefully and sensitively updated to provide modern wayfarers with exceptional standards of service.

The location is both breathtakingly beautiful and extremely convenient for visitors to North Wales. The walled town of Conwy is just two miles away. To the front of the inn are magnificent views of the river Conwy and surrounding hills; behind, the slopes which rise towards Snowdonia.

We have opted for what we believe are the pick of links courses in North Wales for this tour - but there just as many equally fine courses in the area well worth playing if you get the chance. We would be happy to add one or two more if you want to play 36 holes on any day, or swop any round with the courses we've suggested.
   
Royal St David's  
Since its foundation in 1894, the championship links of the Royal St. David's Golf Club has occupied the dune land between Harlech Castle and the sea. Apart from the quality of the holes and severity of the test, the views of the Snowdon Mountains, the magnificent Castle and, at last, from the 16th tee, the Lleyn peninsular across Tremadog Bay, make Harlech one of the finest situations of any course in Britain. Mmeasuring 6495 yards from the championship tees, it is noted for a succession of long testing par four holes and five short holes, which vary in length and direction; a feature is the large size of the greens. The last five holes form a loop through the dunes that provide a finish the equal of any.
Conwy  
Situated on the North Wales coast, with spectacular views across the sea to Anglesey, bordered by the Snowdonia hills, Conwy golf club boasts a superb links course, with excellent facilities for both members and visitors. This famous links course, renowned throughout the area as one of the most challenging of its kind is situated at the mouth of the estuary of the River Conwy. Several of the holes of the front nine skirt the estuary itself giving views to enjoy over the bay to Llandudno, Anglesey and beyond. As the course turns to the back nine many of the holes are played beneath the splendid backdrop of the Conwy Mountains.
Holyhead  

Holyhead Golf Club was designed by James Braid in 1912. At  a glance, the scorecard tells you that the course measures only just over 6000 yards from the back tees and looks relatively tame with only one serious hill to negotiate. But, not only are the fairways narrow and undulating, 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. Each hole offers a different challenge, from the short 2nd, often described as a hole worthy of any true championship course, through to the elevated 10th which offers a 360 degree panoramic view over Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula.

Nefyn  

Nefyn and District Golf Club, located in the North West of Wales on the Llyn Peninsula, offers perhaps the most stunning setting for a round of golf in the north of the country, dramatically located on the cliff tops at the foot of the Porthdinllaen headland, a tiny promontory that juts out from the Lleyn Peninsula into the Irish Sea. The run of holes from the 12th onwards offer cliff-top locations for your tee shots where you play into a howling wind with absolutely no idea of club selection whatsoever. In terms of sheer exhilaration, Nefyn is Wales’ equivalent of Ireland’s Old Head of Kinsale. This is literally golf on the edge of the world and it really takes the breath away. 

Llandudno (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. A particular highlight, aside from the spectacular views, are the tricky par threes where a par feels like a birdie.
