Cardigan Bay Classics

Verified by Looper Golf Travel

A golf trip to mid-Wales is a journey into the quieter corners of the game—where tradition, simplicity, and scenery combine for a truly authentic links experience. At Aberdovey, you'll find a historic out-and-back layout shaped by the hands of Colt, Fowler and Braid, with the Dovey Estuary on one side and the mountains of Snowdonia rising on the other. Just up the coast, Borth & Ynyslas offers a raw, windswept round on Wales' oldest golf course, with panoramic views of Cardigan Bay and the same unspoilt spirit that defines this stretch of coastline. This is golf stripped back—open skies, fast-running fairways, sea breezes and honest challenges that reward creativity over brute strength. You won't find crowds or luxury resorts here—just two beautifully natural links, each steeped in history and shaped by the land. Getting there is part of the charm: winding country roads, seaside towns, and vast coastal views set the tone before you even reach the first tee. For those seeking a low-key, soulful golf escape, this is one of Britain's best-kept secrets.
