Aberdovey Golf Club

Herbert Fowler, James Braid and Harry Colt have all left their mark on this out-and-back links that is nestled beautifully between rolling hills and the railway on one side, and the beach on the other.

Golf has been played for more than 120 years over this slender links strip between beach and railway, with the opening fairway also presenting a narrow target.

But over the opening stretch, the green complexes are designed in such a way that minor miscues may well end up better than you could have hoped.

In recent years the club has introduced rough-edged bunkering under the supervision of David Williams, with the end result some of the most attractive bunkers anywhere.
