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.

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.......

Great in and out links

Loved staying in the dormy right on the 18th green. Really put me in the mood!

Some exceptional holes on outward 9. The par 3 3rd is blind and great fun!
The day we played in October was rare as the wind blew in the opposite direction to normal. Hence we made mince meat of the outbound but struggled so much on back! So beware which way it blows when you play!
Some really unique holes like the par 3 twelth with wonderful views of the bay from the green. The dog leg left 17th by the railway line is a lovely hole ( beware the train drivers toot their horns no doubt to warm you! ( my playing partner put 3 tee shots onto the line! So can see why!!)

The club house is beautiful too. The barman was incredible. He knows every Newcastle United FC result including scorers going back over the last 20 years. Test him. He will even wager free drinks if he gets it wrong!!
Great fun

Excellent dormy rooms. Very modern. Full en-suite. And breakfast is top notch

Recommend doing what some do. Play aberdovey on day 1. Then take train to Harlech to play Roysl st Davids. Then return to aberdovey dormy before playing again on day 3 before returning home

But I wouldn't recommend what some members do who play front nine then skip the first half of the back nine! Which seems crazy to me. I don't think there is a weak hole on this course!!

Great set up

Visited for the first time in March. What a great set up. Accommodation on site. Practice facilities right outside my room along with the course. Beach is around 100 yards from the 1st tee. Amazing views and beach as far as the eye can see when the tide is out. Course was in really good condition but told that the rough was short and it was easy to find any wayward balls. When it grows it's treacherous! Everyone was extremely friendly and breakfasts great. Pro shop fab too. Planning my next trip.
