Located 1.5 miles to the east of Llangollen on the A5.
Vale of Llangollen Golf Club: Nestling on the banks of the River Dee and overlooked by the ancient fortress of Dinas Bran, the Vale of Llangollen's manicured fairways and usually excellent greens attract golfers from far and wide. Together with Llanymynech (15 miles to the south) this is another challenging and very scenic golf course on the English-Welsh border.
Whereas Llanymynech is located up on the hills, the Vale of Llangollen is situated in the valley floor alongside the beautiful River Dee, overlooked by the glorious hills of the Welsh borders. Some holes are strongly tree-lined, others less so, providing an invitingly open area into which to drive those tee-shots.
Pick of the holes: the river holes, the long par-4 9th, short par-5 15th and par-4 16th are the highlight of the round, with the 9th perhaps being the most memorable. Not only is the course popular with visiting golfers, but it has also hosted many County, Professional and Welsh Amateur events.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Located on the River Dee, very close to the England-Wales border, millions of people know Llangollen as the home of the International Music Eisteddfod held in July every year. It is also known for white water canoeing championships, its steam railway and horse drawn canal cruises over the world heritage Pontcysllte viaduct, as well as superb salmon and grayling fishing in the River Dee.
