Golf holiday review of North Wales, Bull Bay Golf Club

Bull Bay Golf Club

Set high above Bull Bay on the isle of Anglesey you will find this the only Welsh creation of W Herbert Fowler - designer of Walton Heath and the blue and red courses at the Berkshire and Saunton. The track was opened in 1913 with an exhibition match between JH Taylor and James Braid, illustrious company indeed.

Although you can see the sea from many holes and the wind plays a major factor, this is more a heathland track than a links. The thing that will last long in the memory once you reach the 18th is that no two holes are similar which makes for a really interesting round of golf. It’s hard to pick out individual holes because it was such an enjoyable round, but for me a contender is the par four 4th hole at 383 yards from an elevated tee with views of Snowdonia as a backdrop. It’s a great driving hole, your second is to a steep sloping plateau green.

Top: Amazing views from the 18th tee. Above LtoR; 1st, 5th and 16th holes

The par five 11th hole at 505 yards is a great risk and reward hole with its undulating fairway that twists and turns. Go for the green in two and eagle could be yours, but only a well struck shot will hold this plateau green. The 18th is a classic finishing hole back down to the clubhouse. From an elevated tee and the highest point on the track, there are stunning views of Bull Bay and out to the Irish Sea and on a clear day you can see the Isle of Man.At 446 yards this hole is at the mercy of the wind.

If the wind is in your face and whistling up from the bay you won’t be hitting the green in two, down wind you could be hitting as little as a wedge for your second. At 6276 yards it’s not the longest but it’s a great track that will challenge you and one, when you’re sitting in the clubhouse perched just behind the 18th green, you will long to return to.
