Bull Bay Golf Club

Bull Bay Golf Club clings to one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in Wales, high above the rugged shores of Anglesey. On a clear day you can see right across the Irish Sea towards Snowdonia and out to the distant hills of the Lake District, making this a cracking spot for golfers who like their views served with a genuine test.

Designed by Herbert Fowler, the course is all about using the natural ground. The layout moves through valleys and over plateaus, with rocky outcrops and thick gorse waiting to catch anything that drifts offline. Add Anglesey's coastal breeze and you've got a round where club selection matters and shaping shots into the wind is half the fun. Underfoot it tends to play firm and running, with plenty of uneven lies that keep you honest from tee to green.

The terrain itself is naturally undulating, which means you're constantly adjusting for slope and stance. Fowler routed the course to make the most of the clifftop setting, so nearly every hole offers a fresh angle on the Irish Sea or the mountains beyond. It's the kind of place where the scenery is spectacular but never distracts from the golf itself, which asks you to think your way round rather than simply overpower it.

Thanks to the mild maritime climate, Bull Bay is playable throughout the year and it's a great shout for a UK break when other courses are sitting wet and heavy. The modern clubhouse rounds it off nicely with good facilities and a warm welcome, whether you're popping in for a one-off round or building a North Wales itinerary around Anglesey's best golf.

Who is this for?
Golfers who want a scenic clifftop challenge on Anglesey, couples and small groups looking for a memorable UK golf break and anyone who enjoys classic design that asks you to think your way round.

Who is it best for?
Confident mid to low handicappers who don't mind tight lies, swirling wind and gorse-lined misses. It's also ideal as a standout "something different" round if you're touring North Wales and want to escape the busier headline venues.
