Welshpool Golf Club

Anyone who has ever played at Welshpool Golf Club will remember it as a great experience and a great test of golf.   The course was designed by the veteran champion James Braid in the early part of the last century and the giant peaks of Snowdon and Cader Idris are both discernible in the wonderful vistas of mountain scenery.  John Stutt of Paisley, who built the course, likened it to the famous Gleneagles course. He insisted, however, that Gleneagles does not offer anything like the spectacular shots with which Welshpool abounds.  Set 1,000 foot above sea level with stunning views in all directions, there is some excellent golf to be had at Welshpool.  Admittedly some of the climbs will test the lungs and there are many short par 4s, but the best holes will be long remembered.  Visitors are always welcome and assured of a great day's golf.
