Good course with some truly fantastic finishing holes, but could be more welcoming on arrival - service with a smile and some engagement in the clubhouse / bar and pro-shop would improve the overall experience (I have played ~30 of the UK top 100). Would recommend playing here.

RSD's was the third course on our golf tour of Wales. We had a great experience there. It is a lovely, historic, charming place. I loved the course. The dormy's were very convenient. The staff and locals made us feel very welcome.

Mid Harl 15th Hole

Golf in a Fairytale Setting

Taken through its full, 360° sweep, the view from the links at Royal St. David’s golf course is matchless. Huge, rippling dunes run through the course and stand sentinel about its flanks, while Harlech castle presides in full mediaeval grandeur, perched on a sheer, jutting outcrop of rock overlooking all.

To the other side of the castle sweeps the ribboned sand of The Bay of Tremadog, while behind fades the misty mauve hues of distant Snowdonia. These silhouetted mountains complete a scene that lets you know a round played at Royal St. David’s golf course is a round of golf played in a land of myth and legend.

Traditional Links Offering Serious Challenge

Established in 1894, this premium, traditional links course has tested princes and prime ministers alike. Formed from the imaginations of its two founding members, the Honourable Harold Finch-Hatton (who first used the land for boomerang practice) and William Henry More, the course is regarded by most as a true golfing challenge. This is a testing ground for purists who love the demands of true links golf. The clubhouse is plush and comfortable with some excellent, recently refurbished Dormy accommodation available. Over many years, the course has firmly established itself within the ranks of the UK’s Top 50.

Running through and between some truly monstrous dunes, the links here begin reasonably flat, but there are good reasons why Royal St. David’s golf course is generally regarded as the most challenging par 69 in Britain, if not the world. 

This is a strong set of holes, with the first dozen fully exposed to the prevailing westerly winds. The links at Royal St. David’s zig-zag erratically, rather than following a straightforward in-and-out. Nearly all ask for big hits and good positional play, and often you’ll be required to do both at once — as proved by the stretching brace of par 5s at the 7th and 8th.
