WELCOME TO BUILTH WELLS GOLF CLUB CENTENARY YEAR 2023
The golf club was founded in 1923 as a “traditional” parkland course on farmland that had some 650 years earlier seen the massacre of 3000 foot soldiers, the army of the last native Prince of Wales, Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, who were ambushed as they tried to cross the River Irfon to reach Builth Castle.
Originally a 9 hole course, it became 18 holes in 1986/1987 when farmland from Park Farm was purchased to construct the new 9 holes. The golf course is a fairly easy walking parkland, with subtle changes in elevation and using the natural characteristics such as woodland, ponds and the River Chewfri. Very much a course of “two nines” with the back nine being very tricky, accuracy rather than distance the name of the game! Once played, never forgotten – Builth Wells Golf Club.
