North Wales strings four old links along two coastlines, with Snowdonia in between. Royal St David’s lies under Harlech Castle, a par-69 links that has staged five Ladies British Open Amateurs. About 35 miles south, Aberdovey runs between the dunes and the railway at the mouth of the Dyfi, the course Bernard Darwin loved above all others. Conwy holds the northern end, on the Morfa beside the A55, and hosted the Curtis Cup in 2021. Out on the Llŷn Peninsula, Nefyn plays along clifftops above Porthdinllaen and adds its Point nine free when it is open. On the latest published cards, a peak-season weekday round costs from £79 at Nefyn to £155 at Harlech. Timing matters as much as price: Harlech shuts to visitors all winter, and Conwy limits visitors to Saturday afternoons. This page lines up the four.

Nefyn is the value round. Its 2026 card started at £69 from Sunday to Thursday in April, August and October and topped out at £99 on summer Saturdays. Conwy charged £125 for a summer 2026 round, dropping to £90 after 2pm. Aberdovey’s summer 2027 price is £140 before 3pm and £95 afterwards, and Royal St David’s asks £155, or £110 for twilight after 3pm. Out of season, Aberdovey is £75 from December to February and Harlech’s 2027 winter round £90. Conwy and Aberdovey each hold your time with a £20 deposit per person. Beds on the course start at £60 for Harlech’s Dormy single.
Plan on a car. Conwy is the easy one, about an hour along the A55 from Chester and some 80 miles from Manchester or Liverpool airport. The other three sit deep in Gwynedd: allow two and a half to three hours from those airports to Harlech, and nearly three to Nefyn or Aberdovey. Once you are there the drives shrink. Harlech to Aberdovey is about 35 miles down the coast, Harlech to Nefyn about an hour, and Nefyn to Conwy around an hour and a quarter. The Cambrian Coast line stops beside Aberdovey and close to Royal St David’s, while Conwy is served by Llandudno Junction.
The visitor season is shorter than the turf suggests. Royal St David’s takes no visitors from 19 October 2026 to 1 February 2027, so a winter trip here covers three courses, not four. Aberdovey stays open but puts you on fairway mats from December to February, and Conwy sells no Saturday visitor golf in winter. Summer bands differ: Aberdovey’s runs from 1 April to 10 October, Conwy’s from 2 May to 30 September, and Nefyn prices August alongside April and October, which makes it the cheapest high-summer month on the Llŷn. Long May and June evenings give the late-afternoon rates at Harlech, Aberdovey and Conwy plenty of daylight.
Yes, at three of these four links. Aberdovey charges £75 from Sunday to Friday between December and February, with fairway mats. Conwy’s 2025–26 winter rate was £75 on weekdays and Sundays, and Nefyn sold unlimited winter golf for £40. Royal St David’s is closed to visitors from 19 October 2026 to 1 February 2027.
None of the four clubs publishes a handicap limit on its visitor pages. Some tourism listings for Royal St David’s say a certificate is required, so carry proof of your handicap on this trip and ask each office when you book.
Conwy’s golf-breaks page sends groups of eight or more to Wales Golf Holidays, which combines Conwy, Nefyn and Royal St David’s with accommodation. Aberdovey sells its own Stay & Play by phone or email, and Harlech’s Dormy guests get a reduced green fee.
Three of them, easily. Aberdovey station is beside the links, Harlech station is a short walk from Royal St David’s, and Llandudno Junction has direct trains from Chester and Manchester for Conwy. Nefyn is harder: Pwllheli, the nearest station, is about seven miles away.
Royal St David’s refunds in full more than 28 days out and gives a credit after that. Aberdovey returns the £20 deposit beyond 28 days, offers a credit between seven and 28 days, and keeps the payment inside seven days. Nefyn’s green-fee page publishes no deposit policy.
