Storws Wen Golf Club

Tucked away near Brynteg on Anglesey, this well-maintained course offers proper golf without the pretension you might find at some of the island's more famous clubs. The 18 holes wind through undulating Welsh countryside, with enough challenge to keep decent players honest but forgiving enough that beginners won't spend all day hunting for balls in the rough.

Serious golfers will appreciate the course design - it's not championship standard, but there's real thought behind the layout. A few holes demand accurate iron play, while others reward a bold driver off the tee. The greens run true, which is more than you can say for some courses at this level.

Families staying at nearby parks like Glan Gors or Plas Uchaf will find this a decent option if Dad fancies a round. The course won't take more than four hours to complete, leaving plenty of time for beach trips or exploring Anglesey's other attractions. Kids might get restless if they're not already keen on golf - there's nothing here specifically for non-players.

Expect typical green fees for a Welsh club course, though it's worth checking their website or calling ahead to confirm current rates and tee times. Best avoided in high summer if you want a peaceful round - the nearby holiday parks mean it can get busy when the weather's good.
