Welshpool Golf Club

18 Hole Par70 Course, Practice Putting Green

The Golfa is a hillside course where the landscape provides a remarkable golfing experience. There is never a dull moment during an endless run of unique undulating holes. The fairways afford superb lies leading to excellent greens throughout.

The feature hole 12th fairway snakes into the distance several hundred feet below the tee box and then dog legs uphill to the raised green. Stunning!

The course measures 5700 yards, par 70 for men and 4913 yards par 71 for ladies. Although it is not the longest of courses it provides an enjoyable test for any level of golfer. The superb natural drainage means that play is possible for 52 weeks of the year.

After golf you can be assured of a warm welcome in the clubhouse from Rory and Hayley, who offer a wide ranging menu from basic bar snacks to good home cooked food.

First established in 1894 in Deer Park, Powis Castle, Welshpool Golf Club relocated to Red Bank on the outskirts of the town before finally moving to its current location on the Golfa Hill in 1930. This James Braid designed course is situated just across the border from England into Mid Wales on the A458, 3 miles outside of Welshpool. The 18 holes that make up this magnificent course, once played won’t be forgotten in a hurry. The views are simply spectacular, a panoramic vista of miles of welsh hillside and farmland with the mountains of Snowdonia as a backdrop.

The clubhouse offers a guaranteed warm welcome with plenty of room for large societies and home cooked Welsh fare ready for the hungry golfer. The renowned golfing writer Bernard Darwin OBE sums up Welshpool Golf Club beautifully "The fact is that it is almost as impossible to describe the course as to describe the view; it is so unexpected, so unlike anything else, perched on the roof of the world. It is a beautiful place and I realised how incomplete had been my golfing education until I had seen it".
