This is a nine hole course on the upland side of Old Colwyn, with views overlooking Penrhyn bay and Rhos-on-sea, which gives a nice scenic backdrop.

I had the pleasure of playing with the Denbighshire Golfing Union Past Captains Society who play all the clubs in the county, giving support to each and every club.

Not an easy course to play, a powered trolley is recommended for those who find it difficult to pull or carry their bags.

The first, a short par 5 in the summer months, giving one a chance to get a birdie can lead you into a false sense of security, as the next hole, a par 4, is uphill into a prevailing wind, which could very well snatch that previous birdie hole back, bringing you back to reality.

A hilly course with some elevated tees into prevailing winds can ruin many a card, but having said that, on a calm day could give rise to the possibility of birdies.

The clubhouse is well stocked with a good selection of liquid refreshments, and bar snacks. You need to book in advance as it is manned part time.
