Played with my 7 year old son, as we were staying in a little cottage nearby in Beaumaris. I’d studied the course card beforehand and the length of the holes was perfect for my young (golf mad) son.

The staff in the pro shop were incredibly helpful and friendly and I was informed that the course had only just reopened having been closed for a few days prior, due to bad weather. This explained the condition on the practice green (very wet and long grass) which was replicated in some of the conditions on the greens on the course itself. There were a few holes on temporary greens and tees. But this is winter in the UK so being able to play at all is a bonus and didn’t detract from our fun.

The course layout was very quirky, especially the walk between the 2nd and 3rd hole where you walk through, I’m guessing, holiday accommodation and the 15th and 16th hole where you walk back up the par 3, 9th hole. That said, the layout is very well signposted to assist those who’ve not played here before.

The shortness of the course was protected by the natural lie of the land and indeed some of the climbs certainly made the heart pump. At the highest point there are some beautiful views over the Menai straights.

I imagine in the summer the course and the views are even more appealing.

We both enjoyed it immensely and would definitely recommend this course to those coming for a game of golf in this part of the world.

Post round we enjoyed a drink in the very modern club house bar and again the ladies serving were incredibly friendly.

One definitely for us to return to, when the weather gets better.

Played here for the first time, with my 6 year old son. I wish I could’ve scored the staff friendliness 100, as they couldn’t do enough for us. A free club ball marker for my son from the lady in the pro shop (this absolutely made his day and he hasn’t stopped looking at it since). The man from the office coming out to greet us and direct us to where we should go. Friendly green staff and members topped off with great bar and kitchen staff who served us our dinner after our round. It was great to see and experience a club actively encouraging young golfers to play and enjoy the game. Played in February in howling wind and rain, but we absolutely loved every minute of it. I would definitely recommend a round here, just make sure you wrap up warm if playing off season. Thanks for having us.

I can’t believe I’ve missed out on this Gem of a course for so long. I live 15 minutes from Pryors Hayes and I’m ashamed to admit this is the first time I’ve ever played here.

As a former weekly golfer, like a lot of people with young children, my golf clubs have started to disappear towards the back of the garage. So when I was invited for a game with work mates I wasn’t holding out much optimism for a good game.

Nothing could be further from the truth. This fantastic course is ideal for those who don’t hit it particularly long, as it relies more on strategy and careful placement as opposed to smashing it 300+ yards off the tee.

The course itself was fantastic. The greens in particular were in awesome condition so a massive round of applause to the green staff.

Yes, the pace wasn’t rapid as we got stuck behind a society of 4 balls, but still managed to get round in 4 hours. I suppose this is the price you pay when playing a really good course. It’s bound to be popular. On a positive, the weather was perfect and probably the only time I’ve ever played in October and completed the full round in a polo shirt.

The staff were really helpful and friendly and I felt guilty that we’d only paid £20 each for the privilege. We’re already sorting out our next visit in the next few weeks. This is one course I will definitely be returning to again and again.

Score: 80
