Prestatyn Golf Club

Another of the unspoilt links courses which line the Welsh coastline, Prestatyn enhances the shores of Denbighshire with a course measuring over 6,800 yards. Built in 1905, it has long been a favourite with top golfers because it has several particularly challenging holes but it can be enjoyed by the holiday golfer who will be impressed by the extensive facilities available in the updated clubhouse. Prestatyn has been altered considerably since it was first laid out. Two holes were on the side of the road to the sea and the clubhouse was the Grand Hotel. Two holes were eventually added among the sand dunes and the hotel was handed back to the holidaymakers. Exposed to both the westerly and northwesterly winds, the links also present players with the problem of the Prestatyn Gutter, a deep and wide draining ditch that comes into play on six of the holes. The club has produced some fine players including Welsh champions Sam Roberts and Ted Davies whose memories were invoked when Prestatyn had the honour of hosting the Welsh Amateur championship several times in recent years.
