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 midweek 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.
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 Eionion Angel 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.
In our section, we aim to provide friendly yet competitive golf.
We are a long-standing section within Conwy Golf Club. Currently, we have over 100 section members, with ages ranging from 55 to over 80 and handicaps from single figures to the maximum allowed.
We actively welcome, encourage and support new and existing club members over the age of 55, both full and second-club members. However, there is a limited range of activities for second-club members.
Our regular day for most competitions and matches is Monday, although we do hold Wednesday social competitions and friendly golf on other days of the week.
We offer an extensive and varied program of events. During the summer season, there are 24 inter-club matches played at home and away on top quality courses; as well as, several Trophy competitions. Through the winter season, there is a variety of team and fun competitions. In addition, there is a social programme which include away days, presentation, and Christmas lunches.

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:
Primary school, Annual subscription £25.00
Secondary school. Annual subscription £75.00
(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 practice sessions, chipping, putting and bunker technique to 18-hole competitions for the most accomplished.
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.
The rules applicable to all juniors can be found on page 28 of the Fixture List. It is recommended that all juniors familiarise themselves with the rules and adhere to them.
