Dovey Inn is the social hub of the picturesque town of Aberdyfi, set in the middle of town on the Dovey Estuary at the centre of the spectacular Welsh coastline.

Growing all the time, "the Dovey" offers its patrons quality restaurant food, a lively pub, bar food, children's areas, beer garden and great views and access. It is also one of the premier Aberdovey Hotels.

18 Holes at Aberdovey Golf Course

It says much for Aberdovey that among the legions captivated by this classic links course are two golfing greats from different times and backgrounds. Bernard Darwin, of Cambridge and The Times, was a top amateur – he played in the first Walker Cup match in 1922 – and the first literary giant of the game. Ian Woosnam, from a Welsh border farm, fought his way up through the professional ranks to become Wales's first major championship winner. They both fell in love with Aberdovey.

Darwin was there when the club was founded in 1892 but remembers golf being played on that precious strip of turf between sea and the seashore and hills in the early 1800's when they cut nine flowerpots into the soil as holes. Woosnam has also found it to be a spiritual home and has sought respite there from the demands of the world circuit. The course is just outside the pretty resort at the mouth of the Dovey and wends a traditional route out and back, with sand dunes as sentinels and the wind as friend and foe. It is a place worth a long pilgrimage for any golfer.

18 Holes at Borth and Ynyslas Golf Course

Borth's claims to be the oldest course in Wales are very impressive. Tenby beat then to it by forming the first club in 1890, but golf was being played along the natural linksland north of Borth for many years before that and an 18 hole course was in existence by 1885. After the club was formed in 1888, Borth became one of the founder members of the Welsh Golfing Union and the Open event they began in 1894 still continues to this day.

Situated on the opposite side of the Dyfi Estuary to Aberdovey, the Borth course is a traditional links course with many shared fairways and the layout to which the celebrated designer Harry Colt put the finishing touches in the 1940's survives. One of its main attractions is that it is not physically demanding which allow golfers of varying abilities to enjoy its delights, but it can be a stern test. Donald Steel summed it up with his comment "it is a highly enjoyable holiday course with the capacity to challenge the best players".
