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

Up and down
Course is in good condition thought the greens are a bit on the slow side. Bit of a mountain goat course with every hole on one or many slopes, some like a cliff edge.(Round played: Jul 2017 - Score: 94 Handicap: 18.3)

Very hilly course, in excellent condition greens and fairways. But the bunkers let it down lots of stones in them! Oh and no bins for rubbish

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.

my home course, par 70 some cracking holes , i rate this a challenging course, there are some tough par 4 s ,the wind blows of the sea and cn make it more than tricky, and more so when playing the 210 yard par 3 7th into the wind. the 10 th in the summer is a par 5 with your 3rd shot over the lake to the green, the 17th is a short par 4 looking over aberystwyth , gorgoues views but go right and you will be reaching for another ball. great course , hilly but buggys available
