Welcome to Prestatyn Golf Club.
Our magnificent championship links course is the most northerly
course in Wales, situated off the coast road A548, to the
east of the town on superb, unspoilt links land. It enjoys
a temperate climate and its seaside location ensures that
golfers can play the greens all year round on superb turf.
The stunning course, welcoming clubhouse, breathtaking scenery
and challenges like no other, combine to provide for exceptional
golfing and socialising. The present Championship course at
The Prestatyn Golf Club was established back in 1905 and has
gained in popularity and repute ever since and is now one
of the most respected. Continuous attention to improvements
and facilities have meant that The Prestatyn Golf Club continues
to thrive and go from strength to stength.
Aside from being one of the most striking golf courses in
northern Wales it is also one of the longest, as it stretches
to nearly 7, 000 yards from its championship tees. The par
five, dogleg third (Round the Bend) is a tough hole with out-of-bounds
on the left and it doesn't get any easier. The next is a stroke
index 2 par 4 of 468 yards (The Ridge) that is sometimes unreachable
in two if the wind is blowing! This is a course for all seasons
and standards of player, offering a memorable examination
of a player's golfing standard. The prevailing south-westerly
winds are a feature and a low shot is often a very useful
addition to the player's repertoire.
The course is mostly flat and easy walking. As befits its
status, it is a challenge and with a par of 72, measures 6808
yards from the championship tees. The course has a reputation
for fine greens. Aside from the 3rd and 4th, other holes to
test the discerning golfer are the par 4 10th S.I.1 450 yards
(The Cardinal) which is unreachable in two into the prevailing
wind and with Prestatyn Gutter on the left and practice ground
on the right, the only place to be is on the fairway. The
par 3 13th S.I.8 175 yards (The Warren) with elevated green
and pot bunkers requires a perfect shot to make the green.
The par 5 18th of 494 yards (Home at Last) provides a grandstand
finish to the clubhouse.
The clubhouse has extensive members' and visitors' facilities including a lounge bar, great atmosphere and full catering. The course features in the Welsh Golfing Union calendar and their national championships are held at the club. Visitors enjoy the challenge of playing a links championship course. |
