I loved Porthmadog. We played a mini Ryder Cup here which added to the sense of occasion. As previous reviewers have commented it's a mixture of parkland and then links golf (think North Shore at Skegness, Abersoch). The course starts with a tee shot across the drive way close to the clubhouse, with oob down the right. Not the most spectacular start, Followed by a hole crossing the green inland. You then cross the road for holes 3 -9 which are pleasant parkland. But the real treat at this course are holes 10-17, especially 14th with the huge Himalayas sand hills.

I love these part parkland, park links courses and porthmadog is an excellent example of one. Combine with a trip down to St Davids and for similar fun try Abersoch just along the Lleyn Peninsula.
