Big recovery in a year, last Sept the course had suffered severely in the drought and was in poor condition - most links courses did suffer last year. Has almost recovered though some fairways are still very weak. Greens as well have recovered. I did play as a courtesy, but the regular green fee at £95 is excessive for the condition of the course at present. The meal and staff in the clubhouse were excellent.

Jewel of the North Wales?
We had great anticipation for this course as the highlight of our visit to North Wales. Quite easy to find but not very well signposted, for a signature course it is not well advertised. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Great practice areas with pitching and putting green. The course was an open links course that depends on the wind for its defense. The opening 12 holes are open and challenging with the rough very punishing should you stray there. Unfortunately another course where its fairways really suffered from last years drought and still struggling to recover. Greens in good condition but not as quick as you would expect for a course of this stature. The last 6 holes through the sand dunes bring this course to life, with the only view of the sea from the 16th tee. Overall a great challenge - is there a signature hole? Well not one that stood out for the 12 of us that played this course.Reviewer Rating

Half parkland half links at its best.
As suggested in previous reviews, course play in two halves. The first 9 are the scoring holes. What you see is what you get. A bit of a mix of dry links with features of a parkland course. Once you get to the 12th the outlook changes with plenty of blind shots and dunes. Signature hole is definitely the 15th, a landing area for the tee shot and then undulating approach to a hidden green. Same goes for the 16th with a tricky tee shot. All in all a fanstastic course to play and when the wind blows.....Fortunately the wind was a breeze for me and so didn't experience the teeth of the course.Reviewer Rating

Lovely & scenic course
With seven par 4's over 400 yards from the yellows, this isn't a course to be taken lightly. Up until the 13th the holes are mostly long with reasonably generous fairways, but that changes from the par 3 14th, a 209 yard par 3 partly hidden by dunes. From there on it's a battle to keep your score going (not that that was an issue for me today!), with the pick of the bunch being the par 4 16th. The 16th is a slightly downhill dogleg from a raised tee, and is probably the prettiest hole on the course.You don't actually get to see the adjacent sea from the course, but there are lots of views of the mountains, and there are a couple of holes where your eyes are drawn to Harlech Castle high above you. It's a lovely location for a golf course.
I couldn't fault the tees and greens, which were in really great condition. Not all of the fairways were up to this standard however, and maybe I expected more given the cost of the green fees. This is a lovely course to play, I'm just on the fence about whether it's worth the cost.

A mixed bag
Played last summer with my father - a gentle start through the first half dozen holes before the course starts to come alive. The back nine is more like the true links that we all know. We both played from the gents’ back tees (despite the odd looks from a couple of members questioning a teenage girl playing from gents’ tees) and it is a stiff test but enjoyable. The bar staff were helpful but sadly the pro shop were disinterested and positively disinterested; no strokesaver was available which is a glaring omission for a top course. Score 70 handicap +0.9 and my father shot 72 from handicap of 1.2.Reviewer Rating

Lives up to it's reputation!
What a course. The front nine, just eases you in with some nice challenges, but plenty of opportunities in calm weather to score well. The back nine is just spectacular and deserves all the accolades it receives. The final 5 holes are genuinely some of the best you will play in the UK. If you haven't played this course, get there are do it. We played it twice in 2018 and the second time in driving wind and rain - what a different course in those conditions. That's the true challenge of this links course. Will be coming back again in 2019 for another crack. Feels like unfinished business!(Round played: Jul 2018 - Score: 96 Handicap: 27.2)

Cant compliment this course enough, I proper links course. Great layout, lovely greens, good well positioned bunkers every where. I really loved this course. My only complaints about this course would be a few fairways are a bit burnt out from this years drought and heat, but I play all over and theres not many courses about that dont have the same issue. Also, I seen a comment referring to the derelict buildings on the hill beside the course, what has that got to do with the course? Well worth the 2 and half hour drive, fantastic course

Disappointing experience
Course is celebrated but slightly uninspiring. Despite location, no sea views. Derelict buildings beside the castle dominate some holes. Clubhouse unloved and needs a coat of paint. Feels like it needs a new broom everywhere.Reviewer Rating
