COURSE DESCRIPTION
Created in the late 19th century, this mainly flat parkland course has produced many fine amateur golfers over the years. From the white tees the course measures just over 6000 yards and plays to its par and sss of 69. Water, ditches and bunkers are well spread throughout. There are some particularly interesting holes on the back 9. The course is reputed to lie on the original bed of the River Conwy where the Welsh Prince Madoc set sail to America in 1170 AD, over 300 years before Columbus. In 1911 ornamental lakes were created to store flood water before pumping it back to sea. In 1934 Simpson & Co, Golf Architects Ltd re-designed the course and relayed the greens. They compared some areas with St Andrews numbers 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17. which are now 10, 12, 14, 16, 2 and 4.
