Top 120 UK Course Rankings - November 2006
Set amongst the beautiful scenery of Snowdonia National Park you will find the most superb championship links course. The club is situated at the mouth of the Dovey Estuary and nestles between the Cambrian Mountain range and the coastal dunes of Aberdovey Beach.
Aberdovey is a classic links golf course and certainly one of the finest seaside courses in the whole of Wales. The club was founded in 1892 and one of its then members was none other than Bernard Darwin, a top amateur golfer who played in the first Walker Cup match. Darwin even remembers the course comprising of nine flowerpots cut into the soil to act as holes! Former Masters champion Ian Woosnam has also been known to practice here during time off from his busy schedule. As with most links courses the wind ensures that one 9 is tougher than the other!
The clubhouse was totally rebuilt in 1997 and now boasts some of the best golfing facilities to be found in Wales. The club and staff have an enviable reputation for offering a warm and friendly welcome. This is extended to visitors and members alike, both on the course and in the clubhouse. Recently introduced is a compact Dormy House comprising 4 Twin bedded rooms all en suite. The Club offers a very competitive rate for Bed, Breakfast and golf.
NB. Visitors require handicap certificates from a recognised Golf Club (a Society handicap alone will not suffice). Parties should submit a certified list of handicaps before arrival at the Club and individual golfers may be requested to produce their certificates on the day of play.
