Anybody played Prestatyn GC. Just wondering what its like as was thinking of taking a trip up there for a knock round....any views and experiences?

Played it twice and whilst not a traditional links course worth a knock , back 9 has better holes than the front

Not played it for a few years but it was good enough for me to revisit it a couple of times.

Thanks for the response....
When you say not a traditional links...what do you mean and how is it not traditional?

Thanks for that...It will take me a couple of hours to get there so don't want to go all that way and find it's a dog.....

Went two years ago and it was good value and a decent track.

No help to you, but I've often been past it on the train and wondered what it's like.
It looks linksy, but some of the vistas are not exactly royal county down...

Is very good value (cheap) and played it a few times and is OK, but if you are travelling a couple of hours I would go 25 mins further onto Conwy.

You cant see the sea at any stage and has more of a parkland feel without the trees . Having played Conwy since I'd too would go further up the coast rather than play there

Had heard it was decent, I was most underwhelmed.

It's a links course.

Not stunning, but after the first 3 or 4 holes it slowly picks up.

Pretty old school links, which I like in a course, but decent condition.

Good value for money and another one off my links list. Would combine with another if travelling 2 hours.

Its more ditches and streams as opposed to being surrounded by big dunes.

A decent wee track for the money. We played it in glorious sunshine in an open. Had a pint of cider on the veranda after and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Holes 2 and 3 are the ones that I would say were not your usual links type holes.

Definitely worth a visit and I use the description 'a poor mans Conwy' when people ask me what it is like. Financial difficulties a few years back meant that it went downhill a bit but an upturn in membership has seen it improve drastically. The greens are fast and true so you will have no complaints there.
