The Club is located in Wales on the Caernarvonshire coastline and was originally designed starting in 1869 with further improvements to the routing by Frank Pennink in the 1940's. It is the first Welsh club to host the Open Championship final qualifying in 2006 when the championship was held at nearby Royal Liverpool, close to the Welsh border, on England's northwest coast. The course plays along rugged coastline in the shadow of a long-dormant volcano called the Great Orme on one side, and the cliffs of Conwy Mountain on the other with the Isle of Anglesey visible to the west. A great traditional links course with a multitude of gorse, heather linked fairways, many pot bunkers, and the constant wind off the sea.

Conwy is just across down from the North Wales Golf Club, and is in a beautiful setting between the sea and the mountains. Very challenging through, a bit on the short side though, but with plenty of challenge. Rates were the lowest we paid in Wales, and is such a bargain from the courses in Scotland.

Stunning views, reasonably priced, a real gem.links course with a parkland feel on the back nine. If you have plans to stay in the area, the Old Rectory in Llansanfraid len Conwy is an excellent guest house.
