Borth and Ynyslas Golf Club
About Borth and Ynyslas Golf Club
Golf as it should be played. Arguably the oldest in Wales, this traditional championship links course offers a great test of golf for all standards of player. Add to this superb clubhouse with bar and restaurant, a well stocked Pro's shop and practice facilities, Borth and Ynyslas provides a great venue for serious competitors and holiday golfers alike. Running alonside Cardigan Bay and bordered by nature reserves, the Dovey Estuary and Snowdonia beyond, the superb setting may distract your mind from the odd errant shot, but the easy walking will enable the least agile of us to enjoy a round or two, and the opportunity to master this grand old lady of Welsh golf. One thing is for certain, a warm welcome will await all those who visit, and a desire to return to recover that dropped shot.

Der Platz gehört zu den ältesten Clubs in Wales und das merkt man dem Layout auch an – immer schön entlang der Küstenlinie und der parallel verlaufenden Bahnstrecke. Der Parkplatz ist gut dimensioniert und mit wenigen Schritten entlang des Clubhauses steht man dann im Pro-Shop, dem man die Tradition an. Das ältere Ehepaar, welches uns begrüßte war sehr nett und konnte uns mit einigen Tips auf den Platz schicken – die vorher benutzte Übungs- und Aufwärmecke war leider wirklich nur eine solche und ist daher nicht bewertet.
Die Fairways waren typisch links-like und mit dem permanenten Wind vom Wasser schon recht anspruchsvoll zu spielen. Die an den Fairways entlangführende Straße lässt den „Slice“ nicht zu und es gab einige Momente, in denen sicherlich nicht nur die Autofahrer die Luft angehalten haben – letztlich ging aber alles gut.
Die Grüns waren in Ordnung, fielen aber gegenüber anderen Links-Plätzen ab.
Das Clubhaus haben wir, aufgrund des ausgehängten schlechten Hygenic-Ratings, nicht besucht und insofern bleibt folgende
Fazit : Wenn man in der Nähe ist, dann ist der Platz in Ordnung – eine weitere Anfahrt würde ich dafür nicht in Kauf nehmen.

Borth & Ynyslas
The oldest golf course of Wales, since 1885.
Borth & Ynylas is a good place to get in touch with „the links experience“. It is not demanding and quiet cheap using the Golfhäftet Card. It’s traditional routing seems to be unchanged for more than 100 years. You will find everything which means „hlinc“ and yes, B&Y is listed in the Links Association.
It is an Par 70 -5717 yards - easy course, with
- Little undulating fairways but small greens
- dunes all around but not view blocking and giving protection from the wind mostly
- no trees
- Hard-sandy soil with this water-absorbing grass / moss mixture and this unique turf.
- the possibility to play after the heaviest rainfall.
- no blind shots and
- natural bunkers and never forgiving rough.
Challenging; the distance to cross from tee box to fairway entry, even from yellow!
To make it harder, there is a little street with tourist traffic parallel subdividing the course which is pointing 9 holes to the north and 9 holes southbound. The fairways are really narrow and it might appear IN and OUT are overlapping.
Pedestrians cross the fairway 3 times going to the beach which is the border to the west. Of course, there is a railway track running parallel the whole course.
Unfortunately the course is maintained below average and the thousands of rabbit holes endanger any walker to step into one. The greens are slow and former holes clearly visible. The course is not signposted at all, marker are less visible. The wind and seagulls might have distributed some plastic trash laying in small numbers but visible all around the course which minimize its beauty. Trolley are available but in a non proper condition. There is no training area, no pitching green and the driving net should be replaced. A small putting green next to tee 1 is available. A Short Game Par 3 Course is available but we realized that warm up chance when returning from 16.
At the same time, this place looks especially natural and you feel 135 years of golf history. The easy and simple restaurant is rated below standard, we did not enter to prove it better. But what we experienced is the most friendly and helpful staff of all courses around - many thanks for this warm welcome.
B&Y - a course full of golf stories. If you want to try „hlinc“, it‘s ok but not a must-have-played-course.

Met erge regen gespeeld. De oude baan viel echt erg tegen. Vlak naast de duinen. Niet opwindend, alles zeer oud, de baan het clubhuis de voorzieningen. Voor ons een tegenvaller. Morgen cardigan. 30£ is redelijk

Borth & Ynyslas is a classic ‘out and back’ true links course.
It may not be in the same class as its near neighbour, Aberdovey, located on just the other side of the Dovey Estuary but lovers of links golf will find enough here to warrant a visit.
The best stretch of the course is from the 10th to the 14th. These holes mostly have large dunes running down the right and although they are not really in play they do help frame this delightful run of holes.

Een avontuur: een golfbaan die een eerste indruk geeft van een baan die er haast niet kan zijn. Wie hier komt aanrijden op zoek naar een top 30 golfbaan waant zich even helemaal verdwaald. Dat er gegolfd wordt is duidelijk want aan beide kanten van de weg lopen er holes. Een klein strookje land aan 2 kanten van de toegangsweg. Maar, wie hier speelt ontdekt een klassieke linksbaan die langs de kust en door de duinen uit en terug slingert en onderweg de speler allerlei pareltjes laat ontdekken.
Wat mij betreft misschien we; de meest verrassende golfbaan van heel Wales. Dan maar op ontdekkingsreis: En wat voor een reis: bij elke nieuwe hole blijkt de baan toch pareltjes te bezitten. Vanaf de derde hole worden de duinen bereikt en komen er wat hoogteverschillen in het spel. Maar het is vooral de aanblik van de holes zelf dat deze baan zo aantrekkelijk maakt. Perfecte (razendsnelle) greens beschermd door schitterende bunkertjes en duinen. Mooie afwisseling van kort en lang, van breed en smal en blind en open. Kortom, een golfbaan die elke golfer een keer moet spelen.
