Royal St David's Golf Club

Established in 1894, the Harlech links has long been ranked within the ‘Top Fifty’ of British golf courses, ranked 2nd in the Top 50 Courses in Wales by Golf World and also in top 100 by Golf Digest world’s Top 100 courses. The setting is matchless, and the golfing challenge of equivalent grandeur: over the years nearly eighty championships of national or international stature have been played at Harlech.

Unlike many links courses, Harlech is not an ‘out and back’ design but rather an intricate routing that constantly exposes the golfer to different wind directions, requiring mastery of every club in the bag. The course also offers from every hole some fabulous views both of Harlech castle and of the Snowdonia mountain range, although the growth down the years of the enveloping sand dunes means that you will have to visit the back tee at the 16th actually to see the sea.
