- AddressMachynlleth SY20 8UH, UK
Machynlleth Golf Club dates back to 1904 and its course is currently the only 9-hole layout that we feature in Wales. Absolutely nothing has changed here in over a hundred years so you’ll find wide, open fairways and lie of the land greens set out across undulating moorland terrain when you visit here.
Don’t bother to bring your sand wedge either as there’s not a single bunker to be found anywhere on this old course. If you think the absence of sand hazards is rather unusual then consider also the fact that sheep are allowed to roam freely across the fairways, complementing the totally rustic feel at Machynlleth.
There’s only one par five on the card, at the 477-yard 2nd and three par threes, two of which are played back-to-back at the 3rd and 4th holes. With a stream on the left, a small hill on the right and a fairway that slopes markedly from right to left, the 348-yard 7th is the regarded as the toughest hole on the card. It’s followed by the signature hole, the 193-yard 8th, where the tee shot is played from an elevated position to a green sitting at the foot of a hill, behind a pretty little brook.
