About Pwllheli Golf Course

Pwllheli Golf Club occupies coastal ground on the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd and combines links and parkland characteristics. Old Tom Morris laid out the original nine holes in 1900. James Braid extended Pwllheli to 18 holes in 1909, giving the club design input from two major figures in early British golf architecture.

Later alterations included significant work during the 1970s, when additional land allowed five new holes to be created. The current back-tee course is listed at par 69 and 6,108 yards, with a 70.1 course rating and 123 slope. Yellow tees are listed at 5,881 yards, par 69, rating 68.8 and slope 122; the women's red course is 5,224 yards, par 71, rating 71.0 and slope 125.

The course is an 18-hole links golf course. It plays to par 69, 5,585m (6,108 yards), course rating 70.1 and slope rating 123. Designed by Old Tom Morris, the course originally opened in 1900. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Locker rooms, Driving range, Putting green, Chipping area, Golf instruction, Golf buggies, Club hire.
