History
Established in 1905 the present Championship course was developed from 9 holes, laid out along the foreshore at Barkby Beach when Fred Collins of Llandudno was invited to layout an 18 hole course. This was completed by November 1906 when the first competition was played by some 12 members and remained in play until 1921 when the original 9 holes was taken for development. Plans prepared by W.J. Leaver of Worsley, Manchester led to the construction of 9 new holes that were in play the following year. Membership subscriptions in 1905 were £1.1s.0d. with no joining fee. By 1922 they had risen to £3.13s.6d. and the same amount for joining, Ladies were charged £2.2s.6d.

As well as course development, the Club required premises and so a new clubhouse of iron and timber on brick supports was constructed, including facilities for ladies, in 1907. Subsequently the then Secretary, Harold E Ashton of Manchester, arranged a lease of a spacious residence 'Stradbrook House' which was converted to a residential clubhouse in 1921. In the period up until 1945, the clubhouse was extended by the building of an annexe with some 50 bedrooms, mostly with hot and cold water and some with bathrooms. According to a district guide, the building had electric light, central heating throughout and private lock-up garages; quite an impressive achievement at the time. The tariff including golf was 16s.6d. per day full board, private bathroom 3s.6d. extra. Visitors' servants bed and board 14s.6d. per day. Those bringing their own wine were charged 2s.0d. per bottle corkage.

In 1957 the course and clubhouse had to be sold by Lord Aberconway for death duties. The buyer was Nuthalls (Caterers) who, in 1959, sold the hotel and course separately, with the hotel going for private operation. The course was bought for £8,000 by a Mr. Mark Radwan of Manchester who gazumped Prestatyn Council. In September 1960 the Club was given notice to quit the course and was without course and clubhouse until April 1961 when the Prestatyn Council at last obtained compulsory purchase of the course.

The club were able to secure a lease of the land from the Council and it set about bringing the course back to Championship standard and converting old outbuildings for use as a clubhouse. This was only temporary as, in 1972, a new clubhouse was opened within the course. Under a new Manager, Roy Woodruff, in 1990 the club embarked on a programme of development for the course on the advice of Donald Steel, Golf Course Architect. The improvements were required to deal with the new golfing equipment and length of carry-by golf balls. The course remains of championship standard and the Welsh Golfing Union re-appraisal in February 1994 retained the Standard Scratch Score at 73 with a par of 72. In 1993 the club embarked upon extensions and improvements to the clubhouse and the whole was refurbished providing accommodation to meet the needs of the most discerning golfer.

The future looks even better.
