Anglesey - The Island Golf Pass

Anglesey has a lot to offer golfers! To make the most of your stay, purchase an Island Golf Pass which offers one round at each of Anglesey's five premier golf courses for just £79:

Baron Hill, Beaumaris

This mature course was designed in the late 1880s by Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley and measures a deceptive 5,596 yards in length and is created on mature heathland. The Par 68 course threads it's way through natural hazards - a river defends three of the holes as it meanders down to the Menai Straits. Baron Hill is a thinking golfers course where every club in the bag will be required to breach its defences and the watch word is very much ‘Course Management'!  Visit their website.

Anglesey Golf Club, Rhosneigr

An interesting 18 holes links course (6330 yds, SS 71), set amongst sand dunes and heathland in the popular resort of Rhosneigr. It is renowned for its excellent greens and numerous streams. The whole course boasts an abundance of wildlife and is an important conservation area. This golf course is used for North Wales county championship matches and because of its even nature, it is a fair test for golfers of all abilities. Visit their website.

Golfing on the Lleyn

Porthmadog Golf Club

Situated only a mile or so from Clough Williams Ellis' world-famous Italianate village at Portmeirion, the Porthmadog golf course was created at the turn of the century by James Braid, the genius course designer of his day.

The course has two distinct halves - the front nine are away from the coast and although the soil is sandy the terrain is more accurately described as heathland. But it is none the worse for that, especially with the presence of water making itself felt on five of the holes.

The back nine head for the sea, and some beautiful scenery, and the course is transformed into pure links that have been likened to a miniature Troon. Certainly, there's a lot to the locals' claims that these are the most natural nine holes in Wales. None come tougher or more fascinating than the 14th.

Golfers can book a tee time either via the club's website or by phoning 01766 512037.

Green fees for 1st April to 31st October 2010:

Week days: 18 holes £35.00, day tickets £ 45.00

Caernarfon Golf Club

Sitting on the shores of the Menai straits, Caernarfon golf course has wonderful panoramic views of the Snowdonia mountain range with equally stunning views of Anglesey and some of its beaches. Although in close proximity to the sea, Caernarfon is a parkland course, with true running greens and lush fairways. Providing a challenge for all skill levels and measured at just under 6,000 yards, it requires accuracy and good course management.

Golfers can book a tee time by phoning the club on 01286 673783.

Pwllheli Golf Club

On the south coast of the beautiful Lleyn Peninsula, the course has unrivalled views of Snowdonia over Cardigan Bay. With a long history spanning back over 109 years, Pwllheli is regarded as one of the top courses in North Wales with both links and parkland holes. At 6100 yards from the back tees, some might think this is an easy course, however with the absence of par 5s, and some of the par 4s playing in to the prevailing south westerly winds, Pwllheli is a true test for golfers of all handicaps.

Bookings can be made either direct via their website, by email or by phone (01758 701644).

Green fees from 1st April - 31st October 2010 are:

Per round: week days £34 weekends £37
