The Course

The first 9 holes were designed by Tom Morris in 1900 and ran along the sand dunes. The course was extended to 18 holes in 1909 when the course architect was 5 times British Open Champion James Braid.

Pwllheli has often been described as a unique golf course with 9 holes being gentle parkland and 9 holes being a true test of links golf. The course measures 6,108 yards par 69 for the men and 5,224 yards par 71 for the ladies. The course is flat and is suitable for golfers of all ages and abilities. From the course and clubhouse, there are superb views of Snowdonia and over Cardigan Bay to the Cambrian Mountain range, and the Clubhouse is closer to the sea than any other Golf Clubhouse in the U.K.

In 1998, in a survey for golf monthly magazine by a group of independent golf panelists, amongst them Walker Cup captain Peter McEvoy, Pwllheli was listed as one of 7 Welsh golf clubs to appear on the "Top 200 Courses in Britain" - a fact that the Club is proud of.
