Golf holiday review of North Wales, Abersoch Golf Club

Abersoch Golf Club

This little gem of a track wasn’t on my itinerary to play, but I had a free day and Mark and Sue, who are the proud owners of the Neigwl hotel, said I should play it if I had the chance and am I glad I heeded their advice. Harry Varden, the six times Open Champion no less, designed what is known as the old nine with five holes running along the side of the dunes with some spectacular views along the beach at Abersoch and across to Snowdonia.

Top: View from the 8th tee next to the beach. Above LtoR; 7th 8th and 9th holes.

At 5847 yards it’s not the longest track, but what it lacks in length it more than makes up for with its beauty, undulating fairways, blind tee and second shots. The stretch of holes from the 5th to the 9th are a joy to play and a worthy legacy from the six times Open champion.

Any track that has its own ale has got to be worth a shout.
