Which would you choose?
Up in north Wales for a few days in the area of these two.
Already played Royal Saint Davids and Nefyn

Abersoch is a course of 2 sections. The first 12(?) are on tight links land and good fun, the next 5 are in a field and are a bit meh and the 18th is a short hole back on the links land. Haven't played Pwllheli. Porthmadog is like Abersoch in reverse, field first and then some great holes in the dunes. Aberdovey is worth the drive if you have the time.

Aberdovey without a doubt or Bull Bay or Conwy, similar to aberdovey.

 

[Backache]

When we did a North Wales tour Aberdovey was my favourite by a wee bit so I would second that suggestion.

 

[Crow]

I'm at Aberdovey as I write, course is in great shape and the greens are excellent.
Recommended.

If I had to choose between those two, I'd go Abersoch, purely for the picturesque town you drive through on the way in.

I've not played either despite spending loads of time in the area. If I was going to play one course along the top of teh bay though, I'd go for Porthmadog.

If you can stretch the driving, give bull bay a go on Anglesey... a tough track but very interesting mix of ravines, hills, views and great greens.

Having done over 6 hours in the car to get here and facing similar next Saturday I'd prefer one of the nearby tracks even if there are better further afield.

We're up there in June. Wss looking at those rwo as I've played neither

Can’t give you a specific reason why as he’s away but my Dad has a holiday home in North Wales and has held 2nd club membership at Pwllheli for a number of years. Knowing him he’ll have done his due diligence as Abersoch and Nefyn will be equidistant. I know the later was dismissed due to the constant worry of hitting families walking aimlessly around the course especially during the summer months.

 

[IanM]

That's what happens up there.

Playing an Open at Harlech, we got to the 3rd tee to find a family laying out a picnic blanket about 100 yards in front of the tee.

They got quite shirty when it was suggested that wasn't hugely sensible!

To get back to the original question - a long time since i played either. But I recall Pwllheli was by far the better of the two. But try to do Porthmadog if you can.

There's not much in it really, both part links part parkland. Both decent courses.

Absolute tatty mess when I played there last summer, don't know if that was because of Covid. All our group found Holyhead superior.

Abersoch is dangerous. Many fairways close together, with blind tee shots.
Pwllheli on the other hand is a perfect mix of links and parkland. Choose this one.

If you had said Aberdovey, as a few people up-thread seem to think, then that would win, though.

Looks pretty decent from the photo buddy.
You enjoyed the area and courses you've played in general?

It's a great area to holiday in if you like it quiet, with lots of beaches to walk on and just generally relax and chill.
