Aberdovey Golf Club

As with any review of Aberdovey it starts with Bernard Darwin.

A true traditional out and back links, with modern investments to make this a true Championship links.

The opening stretch ranks among the finest in Wales, rivalled only by Porthcawl for quality.

It has been quite some time since I’ve been stirred into afterthought so deeply as by my bracing visiting to Aberdovey, a links course that garnered affection and a romantic nostalgia in many of the earliest British golf writers who visited here.

Well worth making the effort to get there and will be coming back.

The course of Bernard Darwin's youth is one, if planning a Wales trip, all should visit.

In the Top100 rankings, favour is being given to tradition, and Aberdovey should benefit in spades.

“The course that my soul loves best of all the courses in the world”, wrote celebrated golf writer Bernard Darwin of Aberdovey.
