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. |
