Aberdovey is pure links golf, located 45 miles southwest of Manchester, and 40 miles west of Birmingham in Wales. The course was designed by Harry Colt, James Braid, and William Herbert Fowler at differing stages. It's true rolling linksland on the west coast of Wales. The fairways are undulating without many level lies. The greens are quick and somewhat large, and accept the run-up well if you get the right bounce at the approaches. The dunes here are moderate, and along with the heather and native grasses provide a framing of the fairways. It's a fair test of links golf, although there are blind-shots and wooden railway sleepers along the railway itself which borders the inland portion of the course.

If you're driving down from playing Royal St Davids, or plan to drive to Royal St David's after playing Aberdovey, consider the Bontddhu Country House for accomodations. It's a fine old vistorian example of a country house located on a hill above the Mawddach estuary. Excellent service, restaurant fare good, and a pleasant setting. Or if you plan to stay in Aberdovey, the Maybank Hotel is a good choice. The 12th here provides views from the tee box, after a long climb, over the beach, the village, Cardigan Bay, and the Irish Sea.
