What the club says: At 6,535 yards off the white tees, the course is not long by the standard of many newer courses. However, the real defences lie in the wind which is often a gentle zephyr but can be a stiff blow. For example, if playing 36 holes, the 193 yard par 3 5th hole could require a full hit with a driver in the morning and an 8 iron in the afternoon. Whatever the wind, it cannot spoil your enjoyment of the wonderful setting where the hills reach down to the very edges of the course. It was Bernard Darwin, the first literary giant of the game who returned here regularly, who wrote "Aberdovey is the course that my soul loves best of all the courses in the world"; one can understand why.

Not a great challenge in calm conditions
This is a pleasant golf club, the staff are friendly and the course is well laid out but not a great challenge in dry mild conditions but its a pleasant walk.Reviewer Rating

Absolute beauty
Great positive start walking into the pro shop, lads super friendly and welcoming. Course was in great condition, new to links and found the fringes a bit weird as played the run up to find soft fronts pitch it on and rock hard bounces. I'm guessing a few visits you gain the knowledge. greens superb.Should have driven the 16th, finished with 3 bogeys last being 100yrds out :-( back to finish strong next time.

Tough day in the wind
A great day, course was in good nick and lots of fun. Worth being aware there are lots of little water hazards on most holes which are often hidden.Reviewer Rating

Fantastic Course
Wind was really breezing for the first 5/6 holes, then died down. The greens were amazing for this time of the year and Links course layout was brilliant and challenging and the scenario was picture perfect. Very friendly club and would recommend.(Round played: Feb 2022 - Score: 82 Handicap: 12.1)

Fabulous experience, stay in the dormy!
We played Royal St Davids then travelled to Aberdovey to stay in dormy before play the next day. Really nice club house with great local ale and a balcony overlooking the 18th green. Dormy is modern with nice ensuite (my room #1 was literally next to the 18th green). Breakfast in the club house is the best!Course is fab. Proper links, wonderful sound of the sea just over the dunes. Perfect for the links purist with lots of undulations (2nd hole especially!). ON back nine there are so many ditches to navigate - reminiscent of Saunton East/West in North Devon (certainly not intimating but demanding of your attention!). Fabulous course,
Paid £127 for green fee and dormy. what a steal! (Even managed a beach walk before our round and the beach is fabulous!!)
Nice short game practice area and practice putting green.
PS My playing partner played off 23 handicap and shot 46 points. So if you take your A game.......
(Round played: Aug 2021 - Score: 87 Handicap: 11.7)

Links Golf at its best
We played the course late August, it was still recovering from last years drought. They sensibly allowed placement on the fairways. The rough was brutal as you would expect in links golf. Some fantastic holes like the blind par 3 hopefully with a bit of rain the course will return to its best as some greens were not in great shape. The course on the whole is excellent and a real challenge for all ranges of golfers.Reviewer Rating
