Conwy has given its name to a river, a mountain, a magnificent castle with a complete ring of medieval town walls and championship links golf courses that played a distinctive role in World Wars II. Golf has been played on this flat spur of land at the mouth of the river Conwy in 1869 and a 12-hole course was built on this totally sand hills, ditches, gorse, and fine old turf by 1875. But, it was another 15 years before the club was officially formed. It became one of the foremost championship venues in Wales, but requisitioned as an army training camp. It was virtually destroyed between 1914-1918.
Members restored it to its former glory but in 1943, something mysterious started happening under great secrecy 900 workmen began building sections of the Mulberry Harbour which was launched into the river and shipped south to play its important role in D-Day landing of the World War II. Once more members brought it back to operation and it has played a major role in championship golf ever since. The quality of its challenge is matched by a spectacular setting between mountain, river, and sea. This is the only Welsh golf courses to stage the final qualifying stages of the open championship, and also subsequently hosted the Ryder Cup Wales Seniors Open. Conwy is an ideal location for the golfing tourist with easy access to Liverpool and Manchester airports and a wide range of hotel accommodation nearby.
