Very Friendly Club With Interesting Layout

Prompt and helpful replies to queries from Bethan with a friendly welcome. The course and greens were in good condition with the green staff out working on details on the the course. Fairways on the links holes were a bit dry but given the recent weather conditions, this was totally understandable.

Friendly bar staff. Only slight downside was the lack of catering as the club was between caterers.

Lovely course in great condition

Played this course many times and this is the best condition it's been in for several years. New green keeper is clearly a different class to previous setup. Let down by pro shop being closed when we arrived so just played. Shouldn't be taking bookings for times when no one there to welcome you. Lovely course but make sure you bring everything you need to play including refreshments.

Lovely course with challenges

We enjoyed playing this seaside course.

Some lovely fairways, greens had been treated so needed time to improve for the spring season.

Staff were friendly.

No food available afterwards which we would have liked.

Great value and will definitely return when over in wales.

Pwllehi

A lovely friendly welcome and the course was in amazing condition for February in Wales. A mixture of links and parkland meant the course changed infront of your eyes. The sound of the sea crashing next to you and oystercatchers running on the fairways made it all the more enjoyable.

Lovely course

What a lovely course in beautiful surroundings. Slightly disappointed that we could only play 9 of the 18 holes due to recent wet weather, but that isn't the club's fault. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The course was very well prepared and the greens were good. We would love to return to play the full 18 in the summer. Excellent value for money.

Great for the time of year

Play this course most years and this is the best I have seen it for many especially for the time of year. Only the links open in the winter but well worth the visit. Had a change in greenkeeper a year or so back and now the benefit is beginning to show. Only criticism would be that tee times are not available in the afternoon as other courses on the Lynn are.

Great experience at Pwllheli

I had a great time at Pwllheli. Staff and members were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Given the time of year the course was in a good condition, particularly the stretch of links holes from 8 to 11, which would have to be up there with the most enjoyable stretch of 4 holes I’ve played anywhere.

Always enjoy the course. Interesting mix of links and parkland. Despite a lot of rain recently the course was in decent condition. And we received a very friendly welcome in the pro shop & clubhouse.

Excellent course

Great, challenging course. Preferred the back 9, as that’s the links side of the course.

In the front 9, the greens weren’t the best, which did affect play as they were especially slow, but the back 9 greens were perfect.

Would play again and highly recommend.

Circa 3hr 30m for a 2ball.

Sunny day in pwhelli

Weather stunning.

Staff friendly and welcoming.

Course in good nick although on the day we played there was a lot of sand on some of the greens.

Very interesting course with both parkland and links sections which make you feel like you’ve played two courses in one round.

Enjoyed a pint on the balcony bar afterwards served by very friendly staff….well done Pwhelli !

Lovely views and a very warm welcome.

Am holiday in the area, decided to take my golf clubs, 5 minutes down the round found Pwllheli Golf Club. So sort out a tee time, found the best day weather wise all week. Arrived and was made to feel very welcome as a guest. Was shown the course and the direction I was heading in. Some members were in the group in front very friendly. Kept asking if I wished to play through, but as I didn't know where I was going decided to follow them. The course was in fantastic condition, well maintained and the greens were excellent. Really enjoyed my round and a first time experience of Pwllheli Golf Club. Stopped off for a cheeky pint afterwards and was made to feel even more welcome. Could not recommend my experience highly enough. Thankyou

Poor condition

The course has suffered badly with the wet weather. The first seven holes are in very poor condition with greens well below their usual standard, the remainder are ok but nothing to write home about. Give it a miss this season and try Abersoch more expensive but in great condition and worth the extra.

I have enjoyed Pwllheli in the past but was very disappointed this year and will not return.

Poor condition

The wet weather has had an adverse impact on the course particularly the first seven holes. I was looking forward to returning but was ver disappointed with very poor condition I will not be back, I recommend giving it a miss this year. Try Abersoch much better and we’ll worth the money.
