Golf courses in Gwynedd

Gwynedd offers one of golf's most dramatic backdrops - the mountains of Snowdonia rising behind courses that run along the Welsh coast. Royal St David's at Harlech is a true championship links, having hosted numerous Walker Cups and Home Internationals, with the medieval castle providing an unforgettable setting.

The course, designed in 1894, threads through natural duneland with the Llyn Peninsula stretching into the Irish Sea beyond. Nefyn and District offers equally stunning cliff-top golf overlooking Cardigan Bay, while Aberdovey - ranked among Wales's finest - enjoys a devoted following for its welcoming atmosphere and testing links.

The Welsh coast enjoys a mild climate thanks to the Gulf Stream, though Snowdonia can create dramatic weather that sweeps across the courses. Late spring through early autumn offers the most reliable playing conditions. This is golf in truly spectacular surroundings, where the combination of links challenge and mountain scenery creates something uniquely Welsh.
