We have a strong Men’s section with several category one players and an equally strong Ladies’ section comprising Silver and Bronze divisions. The Seniors is a thriving and well supported. We have a lively Junior section providing infrastructure, coaching and opportunity to become excellent golfers as they develop. All sections support competitive and representative golf.
This section of Conwy Golf Club represents the majority of members: all full male members are included. The core golfing activities of the Club revolve around these members; all standards of golf are catered for, from the elite to the handicap golfer. We have traditionally provided a friendly but competitive atmosphere in which to play golf.
Weekday golf is mostly social, although through the late spring, summer and early autumn there are two weekday competitions: a weekly Friday evening social competition taking varied formats and a midmonth stableford 'rollup' competition. Our main competitions are on Saturdays: these are typically the formal named “board” competitions where there is an outright winner, the monthly medals and more social events generally played in two divisions according to handicap -competition is fierce and entry is booked online or via the professional.
There are various individual knockout competitions: the Scratch Championship for lower handicaps, the Club Championship played off our Championship tees, the DL Jones Cup for Over-55's and the Mellor Trophy which is a White tee knockout. There is also a pairs foursome knockout-the Beacon Salvers. Gents are always welcome to play in the Mixed pairs competitions, which are played on various Sundays.
Conwy enters teams in the Caernarfonshire inter-club leagues-the Bayonet Scratch league and the Norman Brookes league for gents with handicaps of 6+: players are always welcome.
Golf at Conwy can be as sociable or competitive as you wish, which ever form you prefer, the course will always provide a challenge.
Our aim in the senior section is to enjoy friendly yet competitive golf.
We have a long standing senior section with over 60 paid up members ranging in age from 55 to over 80, and handicaps ranging from 6 to 28. We look forward to welcoming new members into the section.
Our regular day for most competitions and team matches is Monday, although some are played on other weekdays.
We have an extensive and varied diary of events throughout the year which include 20 or so matches home and away with local clubs. All paid up members of the senior section are eligible to play irrespective of handicap or age. There are also away days, in-house trophy competitions, and of course, our annual Christmas lunch.
Potential new members over the age of 55 are most welcome to join us, as indeed are existing club members who have matured to this age.
We have a thriving Ladies section comprising of Silver and Bronze divisions with plenty of competitive, representative and social golf to cater for all levels of playing abilities. The Ladies section is keen to welcome both new-to-golf and experienced players to join the Club.
The Club participates in several National Ladies Competitions including the Mail on Sunday Classic; Coronation Foursomes; Australian Spoons; and Daily Mail Foursomes to name but a few.

We encourage friendship, respect for others, and playing in the right spirit of the game. We provide social and competitive golf for juniors, and encourage, develop and prepare juniors for integration into adult golf.

Child & Young persons safeguarding
ChildYoundpersonsafeguardingPolicy2019.pdf
We welcome young golfers of all ages and abilities from total beginners to single handicap players. We extend a warm welcome to all juniors and help them realise that golf is a fantastic sport in which social skills and sporting excellence develop side by side.
We have two levels of membership:
(Juniors of primary school age who are children or grandchildren of FULL members are free)
Our aim, first and foremost, is to ensure that our youngsters enjoy themselves and learn new skills through focused tuition from our Professional staff and qualified volunteers. Regular taster sessions are organised which centre on the basic elements of golf. Graded activities range from short game practise sessions, chipping, putting and bunker technique to 18-hole competitions for the most accomplished.
We are fortunate that our Club Professional, Andrew Blake, is actively involved in the coaching of the Caernarvonshire Junior County Team.
During term time most coaching sessions are held on a Saturday morning and are organised by the club professional and his coaching staff.
All junior competitions are played during the school holidays, and this is the time when juniors who need to gain a handicap do so under guidance from the Junior Organiser.
