Enjoy Sea, Sand and Castles at Conwy Golf Course
CONWY
Set on a triangle of land at the mouth of the Conwy estuary, the Conwy Caernarvonshire Golf Club is a highly-regarded championship venue that’s hosted the Curtis Cup as recently as 2021. This testing, par-71, 6,901-yard set of links was also the first Welsh course to host final qualifying rounds for the Open (when held at Royal Liverpool in 2006). It’s a testament to this course’s challenge that only three of the qualifiers that year managed scores under par.
It was, in fact, Royal Liverpool members who laid out the initial 12 holes here in 1875, before Conwy became a club of its own in 1890, and the close ties between the two clubs remain to this day.
There’s little to detract from the loveliness of these links’ North Welsh coastal setting. To the west lie the sands of Conwy Morfa Beach; to the east, the pleasure boats moored in Conwy Marina. If the A55 didn’t bisect it, the land the course lies upon would constitute the northernmost tip of Snowdonia National Park.

Course Testimonials
Links Set before Castles and Mountains
Conwy golf course is situated on the edge of Conwy itself, a delightful, walled market town offering excellent accommodation and amenities, dominated by the 13th-century fortress of Conwy Castle. One of Wales’ most imposing and spectacular fortifications, it prints itself on the view from Conwy golf course. Conwy Mountain, the vast limestone headland of Great Orme, and distant Anglesey all enhance the majesty of the vista.
Golf began in this pocket of dunes in 1869, and the Conwy (known locally as Caernarvonshire) Golf Club is the third-oldest in Wales, yet its history has been turbulent. Over the past century, Conwy golf course has seen some seismic changes.

Excellence Preserved through Change
The original design of these links is credited to Jack Morris, nephew of the fabled Old Tom Morris. Yet over the following century, the course’s fortunes ebbed, almost being lost between the wars to neglect and sand-blow. It was stabilised with the planting of vast areas of marram grass. This remains a particular feature of the 7th, 8th and 9th holes.
Today’s layout combines alterations to the front nine made in the 1970s by Frank Pennink and changes to five holes at the back in the 80s by Neil Coles and Brian Huggett to accommodate the main road.
It is a credit to all involved in the necessary adaptations of the links at Conwy Golf Club that the course has lost none of its character, charm or challenge. The links’ seaside appeal endures and asks plenty from visiting enthusiasts, with a trio of par-4s in the front nine, all stretching beyond 450-yards. Onwards, from the 15th tee, the course enters a region of gorse ground which many have attested to be one of the toughest finishes in British links.
Every hole at Conwy tells a tale
Conwy golf course offers a fair test of golf in an even fairer setting and should feature on the list of any serious links enthusiast considering a trip to Wales.
