Porthmadog Golf Club was founded in 1905 and James Braid designed it. The course is an exciting hybrid mix of parkland and links holes.

I played for the first time in early August and was disappointed. The course condition was poor – scruffy tees, often bare and ill-defined fairways and slow greens. Additionally, the standout 12th hole hugging the bay was closed (no advance warning from the pro and woeful communication on the course). That being said the links holes (10 to 17) that I got to play were fun and I liked 11, 14 and 17. I would give the course 3.5 balls but am deducting 0.5 for conditioning and 0.5 for closure of the 12th with no prior warning. Would I go back again? Maybe, but I would wait quite a few years in the hope conditioning improves.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
