North Wales region has nearly as many golf courses as Castles! The golf here is not for the faint hearted. Challenging and scenic courses predominate, from The Vale of Llangollen GC in the east, the links challenges around the elegant Victorian town of Llandudno to the very special golf on the Llyn Peninsula.

Again it is not just the mightily impressive range of courses that are on offer, as you can enjoy your holiday by visiting the plethora of attractions that the region has to offer; Snowdonia National Park, Isle of Anglesey, medieval fortresses, beaches, and an abundance of craft centres and visitor attractions.
