Famous 18 hole Championship Links
Since its foundation in 1894, the championship links of the Royal St. David’s Golf Club has occupied the dune land between Harlech Castle and the sea. Apart from the quality of the holes and the severity of the test, the views of the Snowdon Mountains, the magnificent Castle and, at last, from the 16th tee, the Lleyn Peninsular across Tremadog Bay, make Harlech one of the finest situations of any course in Britain. Much of the course is a site of special scientific interest and the profusion and variety of wild orchids in the rough in early summer are a joy, even if one’s play falls short of one’s hopes. The course itself, measuring 6571 yards from the championship tees, is noted for a succession of long testing par four holes and five short holes, which vary in length and direction; a feature is the large size of the greens. The last five holes form a loop through the dunes that provide a finish the equal of any. Over the years the Club has played host to over 50 major cha
