Garreg Goch Caravan Park is only minutes away from Porthmadog Golf Club and within a short drive of many other beautiful and challenging courses.
Below we've highlighted six of some of the best courses in Britain that are right on our doorstep.
Porthmadog Golf Club
Porthmadog
has been described as one of the most enjoyable tests of seaside golf on the
British Isles. And it’s not hard to see why. The mixture of heathland and
natural links weave menacingly through the sand dunes of Tremadog Bay,
providing a real test of golf. Expect stunning vista views along the Llyn
Peninsula.
The par four
12th calls for a drive over a small bay and a second shot to a plateau green,
but it’s the ‘Himalayas’ that’s likely to stick in your memory. This 387 yard
par four demands a drive over a huge natural bunker that hides the fairway from
the tee. Which is no small challenge.

Gwynedd LL49 9UU

Pwllheli Golf Club
Like your
golf as a game of two halves? Pwllheli combines gentle mature parkland and tree
lined fairways with a true test of links golf. So it’s perfect for pin-point
hitters and wayward golfers alike.
First
established as 9-holes along coarse links in 1900, another 9 holes were added a
decade later by 5-times British Open Champion, James Braid. He probably got his
feet wet too, as the Clubhouse is closer to the sea than any other in the UK.
So after putting in on the 18th, sink a few more in the bar and take in the
stunning views of Cardigan Bay.

Nefyn & District Golf Club
Nefyn and District is a unique championship course
with 26 holes. You can see the sea from every tee and every hole offers a risk
or reward challenge. The ‘Old Course’ eight holes on the Point have been
written about globally and are often compared to Pebble Beach in the US.This
spectacular peninsula juts out into the Irish Sea and offers stunning views of
Snowdonia and the Wicklow Mountains, which explains why R H Taylor, the golf
course designer said, “Nefyn and District is situated on one of the most beautiful
sites I’ve ever seen”.
Abersoch Golf
Club
Abersoch is a
hidden gem nestling behind the sand dunes. This 18 hole course has a mixture of
both links and parkland with many testing holes and wonderful views overlooking
Cardigan Bay and the Snowdonia mountain range.
The signature
3rd hole par 3 with elevated tee requires an accurate drive over both gorse and
a water hazard to a sloping green where there’s a bunker waiting at the back.
The original 9 holes were designed by Harry Vardon who was six times British
Open Champion.

Royal St.
David’s
Played
against the stunning backdrop of the mountains of Snowdonia this championship
links course is widely regarded as one of the hardest par 69s in the world.
It’s not hard to see why, when two holes rarely travel consecutively in the
same direction – making club selection a problem even in the lightest of wind
conditions.
The 15th is
possibly the finest bunkerless hole in the country. The greens are fast, firm
and true as a result of best practice in turf management. Sink your final putt
in the shadow of Harlech Castle. Then retire to the clubhouse for a welcome
drink and reflect on why Ian Woosnam puts Royal St David’s in his five best
British golf courses.

Caernarfon
Golf Club
There’s quite a landmark to help
you position your opening tee shot at Caernarfon Golf Club. Simply take aim at
Snowdon and give it your best. This slightly undulating course has tree-lined
fairways, so it’s a gentle walk. But the views are dramatic. Mountains, the
Isle of Anglesey and the Menai Straits can be seen from pretty much every hole.
And it’s walking distance from medieval Caernarfon Castle – a World Heritage
Site since 1986. The course was extended to 18 holes in 1981 and celebrated its
Centenary in 2009.Address: Llanfaglan, Caernarfon, Gwynedd LL54 5RP
