Every Shot of a 13.1 Handicap Golfer's Round (Royal St David's GC)

Can we break 90? - EVERY SHOT (best course I ever played)

A round of golf at Royal St David's golf course in Harlech, North Wales. It's a very scenic par 69, championship links course that was 6219 yards from the men's yellow tees.

The green fees ranged from £65-100 for a round in August 2023. Buggies were priced at £30. The course was in amazing condition on this day with immaculate tee boxes, fairways and greens.

It was my first time playing at Royal St David's Golf Club which was easily the best golf course I've ever played.

I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing playing off a 13.1 hcp (going up).

I've had a long layoff in 2023 with hardly any golf played for 4 months. So things are less stable on the scoring side right now.

Wikipedia info about this course:

Royal St. David's Golf Club is a golf club in Harlech on the west coast of Wales .

The club was founded in 1894 by William Henry Moore and Harold Finch-Hatton, the fourth son of the Earl of Wincheilsea and Nottingham. He had seen St Andrews Links in Scotland and St George in Sandwich , Kent , and thought Wales should not be left behind. When the track was completed, a representative from St Andrews, Royal St George's and Royal Liverpool were invited to the opening.

St David's received the designation Royal from Edward VII in 1908 and Edward VIII , then the Prince of Wales , was captain of the club in 1934.

The course is located in the dunes and has a par of 69. The back tees were extended in 2008.

Harlech Castle, built by King Edward I of England in the 13th century , can be seen from the course.
