Golf And More In North Wales In 2016
North Wales is a region with a wide variety of challenging, scenic and fantastic golf courses, with many of them chosen to be many people’s first impressions of the UK’s golfing facilities at large by functioning as venues for major sporting events such as the Welsh Team Championships. We believe that the Tyn Rhos Country House is the perfect hotel near Snowdonia for those who require an unspoiled, quality experience in North Wales’ array of friendly, welcoming, award-winning clubs.
With an estimated £37.9m coming from 79,000 overnight golf visitors and 139,000 day visitors in 2014 and continued growth in 2015, North Wales is very much the go-to for world-class championship links courses and hidden gems alike. Staying with us is the best possible option for those which are after a quality, unspoiled golfing experience in friendly welcoming clubs within beautiful North Wales, but wish to do so in the height of style.
