Rhyl Golf Club lies on the North Wales coast to the east of the town of Rhyl, once an elegant Victorian resort which unfortunately declined in the late 20th century. It was designed by James Braid and opened in 1890, leading to a claim to be Wales' oldest golf course.

Rhyl is a nine hole course which lies on links land but is very flat. There are few contours and no views of the sea because of a ridge which runs the length of the course, Unfortunately the inland side is dominated by a large and rather noisy holiday park which runs the length of the course. We played on a windy but dry day and were disappointed by the quality of the course. The fairways although fast running were poor and the tees worn and infested by weeds. The greens had clearly been watered and were slow and lush, not in keeping with a links course. It has four holes out and five holes back but none were particularly memorable.
