Conwy Golf Club

A Links Rebuilt Through History

The golf course at Conwy Golf Club occupies the Morfa Peninsula at the mouth of the River Conwy. The club was formally established in 1890, although professionally designed golf began here in 1869, when Jack Morris created a 12-hole layout. He extended it to 18 holes twenty years later.

War repeatedly altered the links. Military activity almost erased the earlier course during the First World War, forcing play northwards onto its present ground. During the Second World War, construction connected with the Mulberry Harbours caused the loss of the former ninth green.

The current routing remains fairly level, yet ridges, bunkers, and coastal wind bring constant changes in shot shape. Several outward par fours demand length, while three par fives appear between the 9th and 14th. The closing stretch tightens sharply, beginning with the narrow, gorse-lined 16th.

Views across the estuary towards the Great Orme and surrounding mountains remain present throughout the round.
