Great course

I went on a glorious day so playing conditions were favourable. The course is parkland for the first 7 holes and then links for the remainder. Course was overall in good condition with some costal/sea views on some holes. I played on my own for the front 9 and was asked by two members if I would like to join for the back 9 which was nice. I would recommend this course

A tale of two halves

Firstly, to commend the back 11 which is as good as any links in North Wales. Great layout, great greens and a good challenge. Just a shame about the first 7 holes. Flat and uninteresting and not in great condition. But then it was March so will cut them some slack. And it was cheap!

October

Overpriced for an in maintained course

Didn’t see one groundskeeper

Leaves everywhere greens covered in sand

Probably normal for October but to charge top money for a winter looking course is disappointing

Pwllheli GC

First 7 holes all parkland which tend to be very similar in layout apart from par 3 3rd.

8 to 11 are links and the fairways are very scrubby with hardly any grass on them and difficult to play.

12 to 18 are parkland.

Greens are in great condition and are all flat.

Didn’t use any amenities but clubhouse looks well set up.

Course of two halves

Lovely course broken into two. The front half is of a parkland setting (on reclaimed land so unfortunately is prone to flooding) and the second half is more of your stereotypical links golf course.

It’s a shame they’re are no par 5’s but still a course to think about and challenge you.

Nice little course

Nice course. Interesting mix between parkland and links offered plenty if challenge. No par fives would suggest a cruise, but plenty of long holes to makes thing challenging with the usual challenge of some links holes adding some strokes tothe round. Only small grumblw would be some parts of the course was very wet, so drainage probably lacking but this wasn't too desruptive as weather hadn't been too bad for the few days leading tothe round. Greens played very nicely, course nice and forgiving on parkland holes. Will head back without a doubt.

Lovely links style course

We had a really enjoyable round here. Right from the off, the staff in the pro shop we’re so friendly and welcoming it instantly put you at ease. The whole area had been hammered by bad weather so they kept open 9 holes to play twice and considering the storms the course was in a good condition. Beautiful views as you play along the coastline and challenging winds to make you think.

A casual round

This course boasts a few challenging holes in terms of layout but was let down by poorly maintained tee boxes, unkempt fairways in places and slow saturated greens. The Bunkers were not in good order either from view but we did have a large amount of rain last night which is forgivable for the green etc.

The staff in the kitchen and bar were extremely hospitable and the view from the terrace is fantastic, I could've stayed there for hours.

Slow play and quite 'casually' dressed golfers were freely present which lent to the 'average' review of this potentially gorgeous course.

Great Course, Great Breakfast!

2nd time playing this year, course in great condition and a varied challenge with the parkland/Links mix.

Wind got up a little and definitely kept us honest...

Make sure you arrive early enough to get some food before your round - great value - generous portion and decent quality.

Outstanding course

You start in parkland for 7 holes then the real test begins with 8 holes of links golf , 4 in a row along the coast edge boasts spectacular views out to sea. Finishing with 3 holes leading back to the clubhouse for a well earned drink.

The greens are immaculate and run true, the course is well maintained and the staff are very friendly non more so than the welcome you get in the pro shop when you arrive.
