Penmaenmawr Golf Club

With three mountains surrounding as a back drop and the coastline in front, Penmaenmawr (Pen) is as challenging in golf as it is stimulating in scenic beauty.

Dry stone walls bisect the fairways with devastating effect if you have an errant drive, especially on the 2nd, 7th and 16th holes. Although there is not a par 5 on the golf course, when you walk off the 5th, you’ll be convinced that there are four feet in the Welsh yard!

The greens are well maintained and several of them are elevated. It takes an experienced eye to read them and when in doubt, remember all the greens slope towards the sea.
