Founded in 1905, Prestatyn Golf Club had an 18-hole course in play the following year. Nine of the original fairways were lost to development in 1921 but another nine were in play within twelve months, enabling members to resume with a full complement of holes.
The land on which the most northerly golf course in mainland Wales lies was owned by Lord Aberconway and when he died in the late 1950s, both course and clubhouse were sold to pay death duties. The local Council managed to compulsorily purchase the layout from its new owner a short time after before it was leased back to the club.
Set out on a 150-acre tract of land known as “morfa,” meaning bog or sea-marsh in the Welsh tongue, the course lies between the coastal rail line and the Irish Sea. A canal – known as the “Prestatyn Gutter” – runs through the links and it’s been the ruin of many a poor golfer down the years.
