  5. Aberystwyth Golf Club

    Aberystwyth, Ceredigion
    Public
    4.8888833333
    5

    Green fee: $39-$58
    What they're saying: "I don’t do many reviews but this is a stunning course. Beautiful scenery, beautiful layout and such friendly staff and members. Hats off to the greenkeeper who has been running it on his own when I played. If they had 7 or 8 greenkeepers this would be a top 100 course without doubt. So so much potential and highly recommended by a greenkeeper myself. Looking forward to playing again in the future." - gk1985

    Public
    4.7511161889
    70

    Green fee: $78-$116
    What they're saying: "I don’t think you’ll play a course anywhere near as good for the price. It really was (an) incredible value. I’d be happy paying triple the price I paid. The course was in great condition and the layout is brilliant. If you’re looking for negatives, the 15th, 16th and 17th feel a bit less linksy (like) the rest of the course but I still enjoyed them. Me and playing partner enjoyed a pre-round pint and roll, which was delicious in the new beautiful clubhouse. All in all I couldn’t fault it and if you’re lucky enough to see one of the (affordable) tee times snap it up before someone else does as you won’t be disappointed." - Nickstfc

    46

    Green fee: $45-$52
    What they're saying: "Having never played in North Wales, (I) randomly selected this course in the (GolfNow) app. I love links golf and this course. (I) had (to) look at the course on their website and was looking forward to playing some the holes due to the pictures on the course guide. Well, they don't do the course justice. (There are) lots of challenging and memorable holes. Even though I didn't play to my best, I enjoyed every minute and look forward to coming back to play again." - GolfPass Reviewer

  10. Prestatyn Golf Club

    Prestatyn, Denbighshire
    Public
    4.7836601307
    111

    Green fee: $39-$78
    What they're saying: "To drive from the wetter climates of Manchester to play a Links course was one thing. But the superb greens and bone dry fairways with carry and roll was exceptional. Add in a very windy day, adding 60 yards against the wind, it was a tough challenge. But that is links golf. Really enjoyed our round and definitely the right choice to hire a buggy." - RGD74
