'NOMAD' in the Wall St Journal - October 2010 - U.S.A.

Aberdovey crops up in some of the most unlikely places! Here 'Nomad' of the Wall St Journal applauds natural links and lists Aberdovey as amongst 8 'Off the beaten track' courses worldwide under his heading:

Wild Green Yonder

"A world away from the clubhouses and manicured greens of membership golf, rugged, raw courses embrace the natural landscape and swing us back into the original spirit of the game"

In his article, he describes Aberdovey thus....

A 2009 back-to-links-style restoration has made this picturesque course even more rugged: more natural-looking bunkers, rougher rough and fairways that play less like airport runways than like meandering moors. (The great Welsh player Ian Woosnam grew up playing here.) Aberdovey Railway Station is on the Cambrian Line, operated by Arriva Trains Wales
