Tough day
This was a tough opener for the start of a 4 day golfing trip. The bounce and run of the ball made it challenging and having never played it before made it hard as to what was the best place to aim for. Greens were firm but true so judging distance was hardReviewer Rating

Interesting course
A tale of two nines. Front nine is heathland with water coming into play on some holes. Fairways were scorched and very hard with hardly a blade of grass in sight leading to some interesting bounces. The back nine was proper links with severe undulation, very tight lies blind shots, run offs and lots of bunkers.Without a course planner it was often difficult to know what a good line was going to be off the tee but there were some outstanding views and the greens were fast and true.Fortunately the wind was not too strong and so the course did not show how severe it could be.Staff were very welcoming and the Pro shop was well stocked.Reviewer Rating

Course of 2 halves
Played Portmadog as the last leg of our triple adventure to North Wales. There were 12 of us and the hospitality was good upon arrival with refreshments available (coffee/tea from a machine). This course will test your ability to play woodland and links golf alike. To get to the first tee its a walk down the road (100yds) please be aware of players teeing off on the first. The first 9 are the woodland, with plenty of variety and challenges from water and bunkers. Star of the show is the par 3 island green on the 7th. Front nine is a great challenge. We then move on to the links element and wow!! blind tee shots over dunes into open fairways. The more you progress on the back nine the better the views get. Culminating in a drive-able par 4 followed by a challenging hit and hope par 3. Overall a fantastic course and any golfer would enjoy the challenge of these 18 holes. Unfortunately some of the fairways were still suffering from last years drought conditions which was the only negative i could find.Reviewer Rating

Nice club - very poor condition
Played here on Monday 15th July. Very friendly club with nice clubhouse.The greens were a nice pace and the tees were ok. Unfortunately the remainder of the course was burnt to a cinder and we had to play hunt the blade of grass on the fairways. There was no definition between the fairways and the rough and we played lift and place within one club length on all areas in order to have a lie with a least some grass under the ball.
We also unfortunately played behind the slowest singleton it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. We waited on every shot from the 6th hole so the pace of play was appallingly slow. The singleton made absolutely no attempt to call us through despite knowing that he was seriously holding us up - he attempted to apologise whilst we were having a sandwich after playing.
We would perhaps play here again but not until the condition of the course improves.

Front 9 was good, nothing major to write about, but nice enough and challenging enough.
Back 9 however, completely different golf course, spectacular links course, very challenging and with some very demanding holes. Not especially long, but made you constantly think about what shot to play and you had to be accurate.
If i ever end out in Wales again, im sure to visit this course again!

Worth a visit
1st 9 was OK, fairways in poor condition. Back 9 was a proper links with great views over the sea, challenging to reach the fairways on a couple of holes, average greens. Probably not worth the high green fee. Nice good value clubhouse and pro shopReviewer Rating

A Tough course of two halves
A plesant days golf on a very chalenging course especially off the whites. The first 9 is heathland and was very dry and it was difficult to see the fairways as they just ran into the rough. The back 9 was a real links course and a real challenge with quite a few blind shots and not easy in the wind.Reviewer Rating
