On A55 (heading west) go through Conwy tunnel. Leave A55 at exit 17 direction Conwy, and follow direction Marina. After o.5 miles at mini-roundabout turn left direction Golf. Conwy GC is immediately on your left.
Conwy (Caernarvonshire) Golf Club: Picturesquely situated on the Morfa peninsula between the Conwy estuary and a small outcrop of hills, lies this flattish and thoroughly enjoyable links golf course. Gentle undulations and a smattering of gorse are characteristic here, rather than towering sand dunes or ever-present bushes lining the fairways (that comes at the end !).
Classic, links-style pot bunkering gives each of the par-3s plenty of character (and the need for accurate shot-making), while the closing stretch, especially the 16th and 17th holes, are tightly gorse-lined and always potential card-wreckers. During dry summer months don't be surprised to find straw-coloured fairways and plenty of tight lies from which to play.
Looking out from the golf course there is no shortage of scenery to admire - weather permitting! The estuary is constantly in view, as is Great Orme head (under which Llandudno sits); you also look south onto the start of the Snowdonia mountains.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

Off the very back tees, Conwy can stretch out to nearly 7,000 yards and becomes a formidable test for Championship golf, which regularly comes to this course. In 2006 it was used as a final qualifying course for The Open Championship, held at Royal Liverpool.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.

Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
