Loved it

Staying in Harlech on holiday, brought the clubs hoping for a round. Booked after 3pm for £45. Played alone and round in just over three hours, time spent ball hunting in thick clumpy rough, only found one in four balls that went in rough. You have to keep it straight. Fairways still a little burnt but mainly good lies, bunkers and greens exceptional. Loved it.

Incredible course

What a course, what views and such nice people.
Just got back from a 3.5 hour journey back to the midlands and already planning our next trip.
Although the course - like every other in UK - was very brown and dry - the fairways here were beautifully soft....like carpet. And the Greens were all in great condition. Not overly fast. Just right. We all took so many photos of the surrounds - the Harlech castle is an amazing backdrop on so many holes.

The back nine was most exciting. Tee shot on 12 was fabulous. a shot not dissimilar to some at Royal Liverpool you saw at the Open. Strewn below are fairway pot bunkers so you need to be deadly accurate. Then the fun begins. The blind par 3 14th - now you really are in the midst of a typical links. The blind approach after another demanding tee shot on 15. But the tee shot on 16th is amazing. The fairway looks great but the views of the mountains to the left and the sea behind you (courtesy of the step ladder provided) is just the best spot on the course.
Will try the onsite dormy rooms next time to make the trip easier.
Although I hit virtually every bunker on 17/18 for a deflating finish I still had to go to the Pro shop grab a shirt to remember my visit. Awesome!
Nice lunch to finish and set us up for the trip home

Fantastic course worth visiting

Set beside the dunes and with spectacular views of Snowdon and the hills and the bulk of Harlech Castle looking down on you this course was a joy to play, Back nine is the toughest but all holes are a joy Late in the round the 15th. is memorable , tight drive and blind second shot through a narrow gap in the sand hills , then loved the 16th.drive over an intimidating bunker to a narrow fairway.

Reviewed Nov 25 2017

Not to spark debate but I whole heartedly disagree with the previous review. I am a regular visitor to Harlech and played here last week on a glorious day, it was simply in stunning condition and without a weak hole. Every hole offers challenge and asks different things if the player, and while the. Ack one is superior the front 9 has plenty to offer. the condition of the golf Course for mid November was nothing short of extraordinary. As someone who has played most of the courses in north Wales, I can say with experience that it is the best set of 18 holes in Wales north of Cardiff without a doubt, and at £35 a green fee when the 'big' courses of southport and Liverpool are £80+, it is worth every penny and should be a must stop for any Links enthusiast visiting this part of the world.

A Must Play

An absolutely magnificent golf course. The front 9 has a nice mix of holes and is a joy to play but the back 9 is spectacular as well as tough. The rough is brutal and the wind may blow but the condition, mix of holes and quality of the place makes it a must play and considering I would rank it higher than Formby and Southport and Ainsdale it is great value for money - especially on a twiglight which is an absolute steal. Nice lunch afterwards and good practice facilities. Already planning my next visit.

Brilliant course and great value for money

Course is in brilliant condition and the bunkers are very tough but fair. The pro in the shop explained that the bunkers can fill with water in the Winter due to the water table being close to the top. Fifteenth is the jewel in the crown. The derectly hotel is an eyesore but you cannot blame RSD for that. For a championship course it is great value for money. Traditional club house with great food and service.

This course is playing very well. Many of the fairways are now going brown after the recent dry spell. Last winter we had a lot of rain the 11th green was a lake for 2 months! It took 2 pumps to drain it. Great service as always in the Clubhouse. It is well worth a visit!
