The Course

1. Y Fferm

Par 3 · SI 16 · 140 / 140 / 130 yds

Pro's tip: A short Par 3 to start but don’t be fooled by its length as the green is well guarded by several bunkers. Aim for the middle to back section of the green avoiding the trouble at the front.

2. Y Bont

Par 4 · SI 14 · 301 / 291 / 277 yds

Pro's tip: A relatively simple downhill Par 4 that requires a tee shot over the marker post; driver off the tee may not be every golfer’s choice. A well struck tee shot will leave a mid to short iron into a green in the corner of the course surrounded by danger. Just short of the green are two ditches which lead into a large pond; two bunkers protect the front of the green and over the back lies the external boundary fence. Playing this hole bogey free will leave you feeling happy.

3. Y Rheilffordd

Par 4 · SI 2 · 405 / 396 / 389 yds

Pro's tip: The first of the famous magnificent railways holes is the Par 4 3rd . Birdie opportunity here for the big hitters, as the green is reachable in two. For those laying up, make sure you are short of the ditch that runs across the fairway, short of the green.

4. Tuag Adref

Par 4 · SI 12 · 363 / 338 / 289 yds

Pro's tip: A reachable Par 4 for the big hitters but a stray tee shot right could bring the boundary fence and railway line into play. The green is guarded by a deep pot bunker at the front but also be careful if you go long as there is a water hazard a few yards off the back edge. A well struck short iron into the green could set up an easy par or even a birdie.

5. Ffrith Gerrig

Par 5 · SI 10 · 487 / 467 / 400 yds

Pro's tip: A stunning, picturesque Par 5 running alongside the railway with views of the sea and Conwy mountains. The line off the tee is just left of the trees with a touch of fade. For low handicappers, the green is reachable in two but, if unsure, a straightforward lay up short of the ditch will leave a mid to short iron into an elevated green. Be cautious, as a shot that doesn’t find the putting surface will roll off, leaving a difficult up and down to save par.

6. Vardre

Par 3 · SI 8 · 170 / 153 / 146 yds

Pro's tip: Playing uphill away from the railway line is the Par 3 6th. The green is nestled half way up the bank. Playing just short of 180 yards, this is a hole that requires plenty of carry to get up there in one. Anything short and the ball may roll down the bank leaving a tricky pitch shot over a bunker.

7. Yr Allt

Par 4 · SI 4 · 412 / 401 / 383 yds

Pro's tip: From the tee this Par 4 measures just over 400yards. The hole requires a precise tee shot over the hill towards the marker post. The second shot is downhill to a well-positioned green; the ball tends to kick left therefore positioning yourself right should avoid the lateral water hazard which runs down the left hand side.

8. Aber

Par 4 · SI 6 · 424 / 384 / 319 yds

Pro's tip: The Par 4 8th is often regarded as our signature hole. Walking up the fairway, you are welcomed by the stunning panoramic views of North Wales, the sea, Snowdonia and the Great Orme. Your tee shot requires a shot slightly left of the marker post as the ball tends to kick right. If you play your second shot from on top of the bank, position your next shot to the left, as anything dropping short and straight may find a large pot bunker guarding the front right of the green. If your tee shot is lucky enough to get down the bank, then your approach is much easier, leaving a shorter iron in.

9. Gogarth

Par 4 · SI 18 · 329 / 281 / 264 yds

Pro's tip: A reachable Par 4 for the big hitters measuring just under 330yards. Although driver isn’t usually the club of choice for the better players, the green requires a lofted approach as a lower ball flights tend to kick left of the green. A good birdie opportunity here although, if you are out of position, bogey or worse can easily happen.

10. Tros y Ffos

Par 4 · SI 3 · 385 / 373 / 314 yds

Pro's tip: A fairly long uphill Par 4 with a lateral hazard and trouble down the right so players are advised to favour the left of the fairway. From the front tee, the tee shot is straight forward. For your second shot, the mid to high handicap golfers tend to lay up, as the green is elevated with a water hazard going diagonally across from left to right and boundary hedge over the back.

11. Seiriol

Par 3 · SI 9 · 177 / 159 / 149 yds

Pro's tip: A majestic Par 3 with stunning sea views towards Anglesey and Conwy mountains to the left. The prevailing wind from the sea makes this hole play longer than its yardage. An extra club may be needed.

12. Llys Helyg

Par 5 · SI 11 · 516 / 500 / 472 yds

Pro's tip: A straight forward long Par 5 with the wind, which tends to be off the left. A lateral water hazard to the right runs parallel with the fairway. A strong tee shot down the left should fade the ball back into the fairway. An uphill second shot should leave a short iron approach, setting up a chance to make birdie.

13. Y Llyn

Par 4 · SI 5 · 381 / 375 / 329 yds

Pro's tip: A pleasant Par 4 hole, 380 yards in length from the back tee and a slight dogleg to the right. From an elevated tee, golfers should aim down the left hand side of the fairway to avoid the trees and water hazard down the right. The green is guarded by a deep water hazard and over-hanging tree to the right. Aiming left on your approach shot is the more desired line in.

14. Cwm

Par 4 · SI 17 · 304 / 277 / 269 yds

Pro's tip: A short slightly uphill dogleg right Par 4 . Driver off the tee may not be the club of choice here. A long iron or fairway wood from the tee should leave a short approach shot to a green which slopes from back to front and is guarded by trees.

15. Y Dref

Par 4 · SI 1 · 450 / 436 / 431 yds

Pro's tip: A hole for the big hitters. A long Par 4 , stroke index 1 and a distance of 450 yards off the back tee and out of bounds down the right; this hole not one for the faint hearted. The hole plays slightly left to right, which requires a drive with a touch of fade. For the most modest golfer the second shot gives you an option: either lay up short of the two long deep bunkers 70 yards short of the green or try and go for it in two.

16. Bryn Gosol

Par 5 · SI 7 · 494 / 450 / 410 yds

Pro's tip: A challenging Par 5, slightly uphill and 494 yards from the back tee. A tee shot favouring the left hand side of the fairway will leave an easier second shot towards the green. A tee shot that drifts right is likely to be blocked out by the trees

17. Castell

Par 3 · SI 15 · 193 / 169 / 141 yds

Pro's tip: A fairly straightforward uphill Par 3 from the forward tees; from the back tee, the hole isn’t quite as simple. Playing uphill and measuring 199 yards, the tee shot requires a well struck long iron over trees. Golfers should aim slightly right as the slope runs down to thick rough on the left. Advice here is to take an extra club as it is better to be slightly long than short. Anything short may result in a bogey 4 or perhaps worse.

18. Maesdu

Par 5 · SI 13 · 517 / 506 / 407 yds

Pro's tip: A beautiful Par 5 to finish. From an elevated tee, golfers are treated to spectacular views over Llandudno ahead, the Great Orme in the distance, West Shore to the left and North Shore to the right. The prevailing wind is from the left and, with the out of bounds down the right hand side, many members do aim down the left hand rough, allowing the wind to drift the ball back into the centre of the fairway. With a well struck tee shot the green is reachable but, with several deep face bunkers looking directly at you from the fairway, the safe option is to lay up short, leaving a short iron in and setting up a birdie chance in full view of our fabulous clubhouse.
