Superb unspoilt Harry Vardon championship course with stunning views to rival any in the World.
I understand the course was recently rated by Golf Monthly as one of the best 100 hidden gems in the UK and I would certainly agree with that.
Traditional greens are in excellent condition and obviously expertly maintained.
Challenging and interesting course - you will do well to play to your handicap here!
Great to see a 100 year old traditional Club mainly run by volunteers with the members being very welcoming.
Best beer I have had in Wales lovingly cared for by Alun who I'm told has more than 30 years experience in the licensing trade!
Carole in the professional shop is an absolute star and arranged our food at very short notice.
Winter offer of £50 for a fourball - incredible value for money.
Aberystwyth, with its highly regarded University and famed for its nightlife, is by far the largest Town in mid Wales and has a lot to offer.

Very hilly course, in excellent condition greens and fairways. But the bunkers let it down lots of stones in them! Oh and no bins for rubbish

Good track, varied holes, excellent greens and stunning views. Difficult uphill start and not a course for flatties!

Set overlooking the beautiful Cardigan Bay, this 18-hole championship golf course is the work of the legendary Harry Vardon.
On arrival, the friendly and welcoming members greet you as you enter the unorthodox and quirky clubhouse.
The opening nine holes are a true test of every aspect of your game. Accuracy is essential during the opening holes, and with small and undulating greens, accurate approach shots are essential to give yourself the best chance of making birdies.
The par-3 8th hole is the signature hole on the front nine. At over 200 yards, this tough par-3 requires a well-struck long iron or hybrid to reach the green. With bunkers waiting to punish wayward shots, hitting the green here is essential.
The back nine holes at Aberystwyth continue to challenge accuracy and course management. With short par-4s and a reachable par-5, there is plenty of birdie opportunities to be had, however deep bunkers and water hazards will punish wayward shots.
The closing holes at Aberystwyth are among the most picturesque in the country. Overlooking the Cardigan Bay, the par-4 17th hole is as scenic as any hole in the country.
A tough par-3 with surrounding bunkers to finish means your card is not safe until you are in the clubhouse, but a well-struck iron shot to the middle of the green will leave you with a relatively straight birdie putt.
Overall, a tough and challenging golf course with views to rival any in the country. However, a lack of practice facilities, an uninspiring pro shop and some scruffy tees are a hindrance on what is otherwise a very good golf course.

my home course, par 70 some cracking holes , i rate this a challenging course, there are some tough par 4 s ,the wind blows of the sea and cn make it more than tricky, and more so when playing the 210 yard par 3 7th into the wind. the 10 th in the summer is a par 5 with your 3rd shot over the lake to the green, the 17th is a short par 4 looking over aberystwyth , gorgoues views but go right and you will be reaching for another ball. great course , hilly but buggys available
