Nestling between the
Cambrian mountains and the Dyfi
river estuary, this superb championship links course
is surrounded by beautiful views of the Snowdonia National Park.
Set on a flat coastal strip, bounded
by sand dunes to the south and west, and the
Cambrian Coast railway on the opposite flank, it is
attractive to golfers of all abilities.
As the home to the annual
Welsh (men’s) Seniors Championship, this
course is not to be underestimated. There are many
subtle hazards – not the least of which is the wind,
which can be both friend and foe for novice as
well as experienced golfers. Founded in 1892,
Aberdovey Golf Club has
attracted some of golf’s great
names over the years including Bernard Darwin, the first
literary giant of the game, who returned
here regularly. He once wrote: "Aberdovey
is the course that my soul loves best of all
the courses in the world."
