Holywell offers a unique golfing challenge in a delightful part of North Wales within easy reach of Chester, Merseyside and the North West.
Situated on Brynford common, a mile up the hill from the town of Holywell – fondly known as the “Lourdes of Wales” – this inland links type course is a fair and sporting test for golfers of all abilities.
It’s one of the highest courses in Wales and, at 800 feet above sea level, its invigorating air (and unpredictable breezes!) enhance the quality of the experience.
Add in the warmth of the welcome – you’ll go far to find a friendlier club- the glorious views to the Clwydian Range and Snowdonia, the competitive fees, the first class professional service, the excellent catering and its accessibility just off the A 55 and you really have something to savour.
Then, of course, there’s the fascination of the course itself. Established over a hundred years ago, the softness of the turf and the limestone subsoil combine to provide an arena which is never fatiguing.
There are no tiring up hill holes and, whilst the course is compact, it succeeds in providing 18 holes of real golfing challenge. It’s full of variety and interest – with its many natural hazards – for both visitor and member alike.
