Royal St David's Golf Club

Royal St. David's Golf Club with its famous championship links course has occupied the dune land between Harlech Castle and the sea Since its foundation in 1894. Apart from the quality of the holes and the severity of the test, the views of the Snowdon Mountains, the magnificent Castle and, at last, from the 16th tee, the Lleyn Peninsular across Tremadog Bay, make Harlech one of the finest situations of any course in Britain.Royal St David's Golf Club is Nationally and Internationally renowned and is the home of one of the finest traditional championship links courses in the world. It has been established for over 100 years and is steeped in history. It is set in the most beautiful and scenic part of Wales. It has frequently hosted and continues to host world class Amateur and Professional events. You will miss out on something very special if you don't come and play it. "Royal St. David's is an exemplar site in respect of best practice. Turf on all playing surfaces is dominated by finer bent and fescue turf types and the benefits they convey are very apparent at this time. Putting surfaces are firm, smooth and incredibly fast for late March. On the day after the visit they showed a Stimpmeter reading of 12 at a height of 6mm! The current management programme and the results it is bringing with it is the perfect demonstration that greenkeeping is a study of infertility and that the best possible year round results are produced by promoting the finer grasses within a supportive and consistent club framework".
