Holywell Golf Club

Fantastic course, spoke to Graham who is a member when we arrived and he was very helpful with giving us tips and advice. Got a warm welcome off Josh who is the club's pro. The course was in excellent condition and the views where amazing, would highly recommend this lovely, unique course to anyone whose reading this review.

fantastic course for this time of year greens where in amazing condition staff were very friendly recommend this course for a good game of golf

Excellent deal for an excellent course, can be hard getting t times for this course but using golf now certainly helped. Course was in excellent condition and definitely recommend anyone to go and play it.

We played Holywell recently and it was the first time that I had played the course for a couple of years. It is a favourite of mine and one that I would recommend to anyone who is in this neck of the woods.
The welcome in the pro shop was, and always has been, one of the friendliest that you will come across. It makes such a difference when you are met by a smile from someone who is passionate about their course and about wanting to ensure that you have a great experience. The members we encountered were also friendly and playing briskly.
The course itself is situated quite high up and there are lovely views to enjoy. The first 9 holes has some long par 4's and some testing par 3's. It is October and so you may struggle to reach the par 4's because the ball doesn't roll much and also because it may get intercepted by one of several hundred sheep that graze the fairways quite contentedly.
The back 9 is a famed 'inland links' course with contours laid down from mining activity in byegone centuries. There are bumps, hollows and hummocks, so plenty of testing lies. The 10th is a glorious par 5 and a real highlight- the best 10th hole in North Wales? On the back 9 we have little in the way of semi rough- here, close-mown grass give way to many gorse thickets that line the fairways so staying on the short stuff is really at a premium. Keep your eyes open for the beautiful small birds that have a preference for a gorse lifestyle.
In summary, you can't go wrong at this understated coures that gives you great enjoyment at exceptional value.

Great course, a little tight for me as a high handicapper, would have benefitted from a detailed course guide with club choice.
Greens were excellent.
Would definitely return for another round or two.

I found the pro shop and the clubhouse staff to be extremely friendly the course was great fun and had some quirky holes it was interesting to see the sheep grazing on the fairways but it was obvious they were used to people as they soon moved away when you moved to the Tee, however just be careful of the sheep doo.
We all had a fantastic day and will definitely return, great course great value for a money.

I really enjoyed this course but it's tough and playing longer than the yardage.Some of the fairways are very narrow.

A good golf course which never gets too busy.
Only downsides are sheep crap everywhere and greens a bit slow.

Played the course in early July 21. Found it to be compact with narrow fairways on some holes. Good mix of par threes, fours and fives. Unusually, the course seems to be managed by grazing sheep in places and one needs to be aware of sheep pooh! There are few bunkers and the greens were quicker than I was used to so some adjustments to chips and putts were required. Overall, a good golfing experience especially for the price paid via the Golf Now website. Facilities were fine and staff in the pro’s shop we’re very welcoming. Will play again soon. Highly recommended course in a lovely setting.

The course is nice and dry . Great selection of holes but unfortunately some of the fairways had not been mowed and the greens we not in great condition today. It’s a shame because I do like the course but I have to be honest it was not at it’s best today

Excellent course and layout. Staff really friendly. Will be returning to play more in 2022.

Amazing course to play will definitely be back in the summer as a couple of holes were closed due to being a bit to wet so would like to play the full 18, but that didn't bother us we had a great round. Very Friendly staff.
