The Celtic Manor Resort
The 2010 Ryder Cup course on the Usk valley floor, plus two hillside layouts.
Curtis Cup links on the Morfa, with Conwy Mountain above and the Great Orme offshore.

Conwy’s links cover the Morfa, the flat peninsula at the mouth of the River Conwy. Conwy Mountain rises to the south, and the Great Orme stands across the bay to the north. The club believes Scots were playing rough holes here as early as 1869, which would make it the first golf on Welsh soil. The club was formally founded in 1890. In 2021 the course hosted the Curtis Cup, which the United States won 12½–7½. In 2006 it became the first, and so far only, Welsh venue for Final Qualifying for The Open.
Visitors book through the club’s BRS online system, by phone on 01492 592423 or by email at admin@conwygolfclub.com. Every booking needs a £20 deposit per person. On the published 2026 card, the standard visitor rate covers weekdays and Sundays only. On Saturdays visitors can book only the afternoon rate after 2pm, and in winter there is no Saturday visitor rate at all. Members of clubs with reciprocal arrangements pay £35 to £55. North Wales County Card holders pay £45. Visiting club captains and PGA, BIGGA and GCMA members get one courtesy round a year if they ask at booking. The club does not publish a handicap limit.

Members of Royal Liverpool had their professional, Jack Morris, nephew of Old Tom, lay out holes here in 1875. He extended the course to 18 holes in 1895. Frank Pennink reworked the front nine in the mid-1970s. In 1983, Brian Huggett and Neil Coles redesigned five back-nine holes after the A55 tunnel works took land. The par is 72 and the course measures 6,910 yards from the blue tees. Its four par fives (the 9th, 10th, 12th and 14th) give longer hitters chances, while the 5th, a 460-yard par four, is stroke index 1. The back nine is the longer half, at 3,496 yards. George Duncan, who won the 1920 Open, was the club professional here from 1903 to 1905.
The pricing at Conwy follows the season: spring and October cost £100, summer £125 and the winter standard rate £75. A summer day ticket at £190 saves £60 on two separate rounds. The after-2pm rate, the only Saturday option for visitors, is the cheapest way to play in peak months. There are only a few buggies, at £40 a round, so reserve one through the pro shop (01492 593400, option 2) when you book. With Llandudno Junction on the main coast line, Conwy works as a first or last round on a trip along the coast to Anglesey or down to the Llŷn.
The club is on Beacons Way, LL32 8ER, on the Morfa about a mile from Conwy’s walled town. Llandudno Junction, on the North Wales Coast line, has direct trains from Chester and Manchester; Conwy’s own small station inside the walls has fewer services. By road, the A55 from Chester reaches the club in about an hour. Manchester and Liverpool airports are both roughly 80 miles away, around an hour and a half by car.

Conwy’s walled town is a few minutes away and has inns and small hotels inside the medieval walls. Llandudno, across the estuary, is the region’s main resort, with a long seafront of hotels. For groups of eight or more, the club’s golf-breaks page points to Wales Golf Holidays (02920 610010) for packages combining Conwy, Nefyn and Royal St David’s with accommodation. Welsh Golf Breaks also sells Conwy trips.
Golf Coast North Wales groups Conwy with Maesdu, Abergele, North Wales Golf Club and Penmaenmawr, and gives 10% off if you play any three. North Wales Golf Club and Maesdu are both in Llandudno, about 15 minutes away. Off the course, Conwy Castle and the town walls are part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for Edward I’s Gwynedd castles. The Great Orme tramway climbs above Llandudno, and Bodnant Garden is up the Conwy valley.
Conwy uses four price seasons: winter from November to March, spring in April, summer from 2 May to 30 September and autumn in October. Recent championships include the European Ladies’ Team Championship in 2022, the PGA Professional Championship in 2024 and the R&A British Girls in 2025.

Yes. The 41st Curtis Cup was played at Conwy from 26 to 28 August 2021, after being postponed from 2020. The match was level at 6–6 after two days, and the United States won the singles to retain the cup 12½–7½.
The club was formed on 30 June 1890, and the county name reflects Caernarvonshire’s administration at the time. The club calls itself the third oldest in Wales, after Tenby and Rhyl, and it was a founding member of the Welsh Golfing Union.
