the shore at Aberdovey Golf
Course.
Aberdovey Golf Club

rolling hills. Reputedly, Aberdovey golf course started off in the 1880s with nine flower pots

Royals St David's Golf Club at Harlech
Teeing off at Harlech Golf
Course under the
watchful gaze of the castle.
Not many golf courses can claim to be in the shadow of an ancient castle, but that much is true of
Royal St David's at Harlech where the bent and fescue fairways are watched over by this historical
stone bastion built by Edward I. Royal St David's is a traditional championship links course with a
succession of long testing par fours and five short holes which seldom head in the same direction.

The 12th green overlooking
Samson's Bay.
Porthmadog Golf Club
Porthmadog is another favourite course with hotel guests; half links, half parkland and while the front
nine holes are are generally away from the sea, as players go around Samson's Bay on the 12th, the
bracing frets can turn the fate of many a game. The 14th has been dubbed the "Himalayas" where golfers
must keep their faith whilst driving over a huge natural bunker to the fairway hidden from the tee.
