Aberdovey is a classic links golf course and certainly one of the finest seaside courses in the whole of Wales. The club was founded in 1892 and one of its then members was none other than Bernard Darwin, a top amateur golfer who played in the first Walker Cup match. Darwin even remembers the course comprising of nine flowerpots cut into the soil to act as holes! Former Masters champion Ian Woosnam has also been known to practice here during time off from his busy schedule.

The course lies just outside the resort of Dovey and features the traditional links in-and-out formation, huge sand dunes and an ever present wind.
