Challenge Match
Yesterday was a big day at Aberdovey Golf Club!
We officially opened the Darwin Championship Tees with the help of Peter Baker, Tomos Jones, Jack Shelley and Isobel Kelly in a challenge match in which members and guests witnessed some fantastic golf being played in true links conditions.
The match was closely fought with Peter and Jack coming out the winners by 3&2.
The standard of golf in such challenging conditions was a joy to watch for all those who turned out and we thank everyone for making the effort to support the event.
The biggest thanks go to the players for showcasing the new tees and our course so well!

Women’s Welsh Team Championships 2024
Congratulations to our women’s scratch team who competed in the Welsh Team Championships held at Rhuddlan Golf Club on 17/18 August 2024.
The team were victorious in the their first match against Whitchurch GC, then followed this up with wins against Greenmeadow in the quarter finals and Royal St David’s GC in the semi finals.
In the final, they faced a strong opposition in Newport GC, and an extremely closely fought encounter just saw Newport edge the victory on the last hole, winning by 3 matches to 2.
We are extremely proud of the team for giving their all and representing the club so well. Thanks also to the caddies and supporters!
