"We found Aberdovey to be one of our favourite golfing destinations of 2009, the course has some fantastic holes and great variety. The clubhouse is superb and the Pro shop was very good as well.......

From a personal point of view I loved the course, club and the people.  Definitely a 'must play' for me."

Dan Murphy - Editor National Club Golfer magazine

"We had an absolutely brilliant trip and every aspect of our visit to Aberdovey exceeded our expectations.  It is the perfect base for a trip and the train journey to and from Harlech
was worth doing just for the ride.

All staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
The course was in stunning condition, with some of the best greens I have putted on all year. I also love what you have done to the bunkers to restore the natural look."

The course was a great test of real links golf.  We'll be back!"

"A thoroughly enjoyable experience - thank you!

As a member of Rye I am lucky enough to be a good judge of links golf.  Aberdovey is right up there with the best!"

A Davies - Formby

"Great experience.  Classic links course but recent dressing of greens did not help the overall 'score'. Would certainly re-visit and Dormy House very good."

Peter Baker - Past Ryder Cup Vice Captain and European Tour Player

"I have played at Aberdovey for about twenty years now and it has proved to be fantastic venue for experiencing the uniqueness of links golf. The out and back layout with its ever changing winds tests my range of golf shots to the full. The new rustic style of bunkering offers a much more strategic challenge – especially off the new back tees.  Ball positioning and course management is much more important now, especially if you want to attack the pins. The greens are coming back to their best and Aberdovey has definitely raised the bar in providing a memorable golf experience. "

Maureen Madill - Golf correspondent

"Many thanks for your hospitality; we thoroughly enjoyed the friendliness of everyone at the club. The recent bunker work is stunning and your team should be proud of what you are achieving. "

"Warm welcome - the Manager even gave us a lift to the village to get a beer!  Greens in superb condition.  More signage regarding tee boxes would be helpful.  Enjoyable lunch and drinks post round.  Breakfast was superb.  Thank you Aberdovey for a very enjoyable couple of days.  Your Members are supremely friendly and the course was in great condition.  Love the Wii & indoor putting area!"

"Last week I played Aberdovey - it was my 480th golf course.  I would like you to know that I fell in love with your course.  I cannot imagine  a more genuine and natural golf course than Aberdovey.  You get a feeling that this links course has existed for centuries, since the beginning of time.  It was a true pleasure playing Aberdovey in ever changing wind directions.......it definitely belongs in the top 12 of my favourite courses....."
