I friend lives nearby and we played when we visited. Lovely course with great views. Fairways in great condition and most of the bunkers have been renovated and are way better than the average golf course. The greens are slow, but very true. Geraint the club secretary was very helpful - we hired a buggy but not essential. Good variety of holes - not too tough which suited my friend who docent play often.

Spectacular course. Improved significantly over the last few years with nearly all the bunkers replaced.Totally unspoilt and very well maintained.
In my opinion, the 4th is the signature hole but many other really strong holes.

hilly course with a long and unfair first cut
A hill top course over looking Aberystwyth.I walked but I would recommend a buggy
We had been warned that as there were few hazards on the course the grass either side of the fairways had been left to grow a little longer that usual. As the fairways were more what I would call first cut, this meant that it was just long enough to cover and hid your ball. So instead of just making your shot a little harder I had to declare lost ball on several occasions despite being a fairly decent shot. Not what I would consider a fair outcome. This problem was also compounded by having several blind holes on slopes. You hit a straight shot that goes out of sight and then I can only guess hits the fairway but bounces/rolls down the slope into the longer grass never to be seen again.
I mentioned that the grass on the fairways were longer than expected this meant that despite the dry weather there was very little run on the ball. very often stopping after one bounce.
There were a lot of crows pecking at and digging up several areas of the fairways.
Greens were in an okay condition.
Green fees were ?35 but thankfully my membership of Play More Golf meant it only cost ?10.50.
I would only expect to pay ?20 for this course

A real hidden gem!
Played the course on June 12th.
Club is managed by Volunteers who were very welcoming to my group.
There has been a complete change of Greenkeeping staff at the Club over the last 12 months and they are led by a very experienced Course Manager.
The course is in superb condition with the greens the best I have played for a long time.
The course has real character and my golf was only interrupted by the resident skylarks!
Amazing views the equal of anywhere in the World.
Really enjoyed the peaceful location and the superb greens.
Very good value for money with offers available on their efficient online BRS tee booking system.
I understand many groups have been returning to the Club every year for more than 25 years - we intend to be one of them!

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.

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.
