From A55 take exit 18 and follow direction A546, Conwy / Deganwy. After 2.9 mls (drive thru Deganwy) turn right into Hospital Road. After 100 yards golf entrance is on your right.
Llandudno's Maesdu Golf Club is located just across the railway-line and perched above its neighbour, the North Wales Golf Club. With this slightly higher elevation come panoramic views over the Snowdonia mountains, Conwy Bay, the Great Orme headland and across to Anglesey and Puffin Island. Unlike its neighbour across the tracks, you are not going to be playing a classic seaside links course.
Maesdu has more in character with an open parkland course than a seaside links; short wind-shaped trees and gorse bushes, rather than sand dunes line the fairways. Although set back from the beach, Maesdu's gently sloping terrain presents abundant sea views, especially from the more open back-nine, and the ever-present wind will ensure a thorough examination of your golfing skills.
With generally good quality upkeep, spectacular views (the best of which comes at the elevated 18th tee) and a value-for-money green-fee, don't be surprised to find a full car park at this always popular golf club.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

Maesdu is pronounced something along the lines of "Muysdee".

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
