Origins

The club's surviving history reaches back to 1903-04. A later newspaper account recorded that the course had been laid out by Dr W. W.

Williams and Colonel T. Bleddyn Rees. Early green fees were collected through a chemist's shop in St Davids.

Did You Know?
The club's 1904 accounts included payments for flags, rolling the greens and use of a reading room for meetings.

Development

The course endured major disruption around the Second World War, including excavation of land for sand used in building St Davids Airfield. The ground was later reinstated. Additional land was leased in later decades, new holes were developed and by the 1980s the club had completed 18 tees around its nine-hole footprint.

Recognition

The club's longevity, links character and unusual 18-tee configuration have become defining features. In July 2026 the club highlighted inclusion in Today's Golfer's Top 100 GB&I courses under £40 rating.

Today

St Davids remains a members' club that welcomes visitors. The course consists of nine physical holes with 18 separate tees and drains sufficiently well that the club promotes year-round play without winter tees.
