Best course I have played! Absolutely stunning back 9 and contrary to other reviews our 3 ball all shot better on the back nine!! Would play here every day if I could.

I was on holiday in the area of the golf course and thought I would have a round whilst I was there. The course was in great condition and has a fantastic links back 9 with fantastic views.

Two very different nines. The outward nine felt a bit cramped, with my son hitting out of bounds on the first three holes including a hooked 5 iron onto a house roof at the 2nd. Holes 5 and 6 thread around and over ponds and require real precision. Back across the road and into the dunes for the back 9 where there are plenty of changes of elevation, some blind shots and wonderful views. We found fast true greens in wonderful condition considering the cold weather this Spring.

A very enjoyable mix of parkland and links golf positioned either side of the road down to Black Rock Sands. The 1st 9 often brings you in contact with water hazards and a strong breeze - and the 2nd 9 with blind teeshots, glorious coastal views, an even stronger breeze and tough heathery rough

A Fantastic mixture of golf holes with varied parkland front nine and some amazing links holes on the back 9 with undulating fairways and plenty of blind shots that benefit from local knowledge. Whats great about this course are that there are no two holes the same, each has its own challenge. Cant wait to play again!!

We recently played in late March and were lucky to have 23degrees and sunshine. The front 9 holes are conventional parkland (which are meant to be the easier holes and I played horribly), followed by 9 holes of the most amazing natural undulating links holes that I have played....a serious challenge to say the least!!! Excellent fun, and pretty brutal on the scorecard. Definitely recommend, especially the back 9.

Another fabulous golf course, the front 9 are pretty good but its the back nine where this course comes alive. They say these holes are like playing Troon a proper Links course, with humps and bumps and gorse bushes.This back nine would test any level of golfer if the wind gets up, and truly has some of the best holes Ive ever played, we played Nefyn GC the day before and if you could put the back nine of Porthmadog with the 8 holes on the peninsula at Nefyn you would be hard pushed to find a better course in the U.K. If i had to choose between the 2 courses i would give the edge to Nefyn, but there's not a lot in it and the greens are better and more fun at Porthmadog, i would definitely play both courses again i just wished i lived a little nearer.

What can I say about this course, you get the best of both worlds with the front 6 holes Parkland, and the rest Links.
This is a true test of golf all wrapped up in one, great holes and hazards, only the odd fairway bunker but the greens are well protected.
Good sensible use of OOB and water, and on the links side any slice is going to be on the beach or if your really lucky in the 18" rough.
Again wind will be a factor if it's blowing, add to that the biggest sand bank to get over from off the tee on the 14th standing at 30' 80 yards in front of you, easy enough to get over if only your brain wasn't sticking that great big photo of it in your mind as your swinging, you'll have a great day and hard enough for the low handicappers to get the odd slap from the course.
Clubhouse is reknowned in the area and is of 1st class but very reasonably priced.

Good course. Very enjoyable. Im a member of a links course myself roughly 2 hours from here, and just to undermine the review beneath mine, this is exactly how a links course should play, especially through summer. He blatantly has no idea what links golf entails, the fairways are supposed to be pretty bare, with the ball sitting very tight to the tough ground beneath, playing preferred lies on a links course is embarrassing.
Dont let that clueless review sway you, this is how a links course should play. Id happily return
