Golf Club Descriptions
St Deiniol Golf Club
The St Deiniol Golf Club (Bangor) was established in 1906. Designed by James Braid, the course offers a fine test of golf. Situated on "Bangor Mountain", this heathland course provides magnificent views of Snowdonia, the Great Orme, Puffin Island and the Menai Strait.
St Deiniol is an attractive and very enjoyable test of golf, with magnificent views of the local area adding an extra incentive to play your best.
The ninth, a relatively short par four, is a fine example. Your tee shot is critical because you must give yourself a good line into the green, which is quite hard to hit. The hardest hole, however, is, aptly, the 13th. With out-of-bounds left (marker posts) and right (wall), a straight tee shot is paramount. The fairway bends to the left and you must hit a clean iron to the raised green to give yourself a chance of making par.

The Course
Hole 1 - Par 4 - Yardage 327 - S/I 7
From the tee drive the ball to the right of the fairway as the slope will tend to carry the ball left - perhaps even to the semi-rough. A good drive should leave a comfortable middle iron shot to a slightly elevated green.
Hole 2 - Par 4 - Yardage 352 - S/I 9
The best line from the tee is towards the marker post - but anywhere left is acceptable. Check the green is clear before taking your shot.
Hole 3 - Par 4 - Yardage 373 - S/I 3
One of the great holes in North Wales. Into the prevailing wind, a good drive allows a crisp shot to the green on a higher level.
Hole 4 - Par 3 - Yardage 233 - S/I 13
One of the most difficult par-3s in North Wales. Does not play long, but miss the green on either left or right and par is a problem.
Hole 5 - Par 4 - Yardage 376 - S/I 11
Best direction is over the marker post as there is 'out-of-bounds' to the left. A well-struck drive will leave a straightforward pitch down to the green.
Hole 6 - Par 4 - Yardage 398 - S/I 1
A good drive towards the marker post at the top of the slope and an accurate iron to the flag should be perfectly adequate for this hole.
Hole 7 - Par 3 - Yardage 179 - S/I 15
Accurate drive to an elevated green required for this par 3. Watch out for 'out-of-bounds' on the right.
Hole 8 - Par 3 - Yardage 198 - S/I 17
Another par 3 which requires an accurate drive.
Hole 9 - Par 4 - Yardage 325 - S/I 5
Another fine hole. Position of the tee shot is critical, the green is difficult to find and dangerous to miss.
Hole 10 - Par 3 - Yardage 199 - S/I 14
This par 3 requires an accurate drive between gorse to the left and to the right.
Hole 11 - Par 4 - Yardage 366 - S/I 6
A good drive to the level of the marker post will leave a short pitch to the green.
Hole 12 - Par 4 - Yardage 347 - S/I 8
Trouble both right and left here but an accurate drive to the fairway will be rewarded with a short pitch to the green.
Hole 13 - Par 4 - Yardage 354 - S/I 2
The most dangerous hole on the course. Trouble to the left of you and trouble to the right of you! 'Out-of-bounds' over the wall on the right and 'out-of-bounds' over the marker posts on the left. the fairway dog-legs left, but the shorter hitters can aim to the right of the ridge. The raised green can then be found with a crisp iron or lofted wood.
Hole 14 - Par 5 - Yardage 528 - S/I 4
The first of two par 5s. A good way to play this hole is to drive straight over the marker post followed by a mid-iron to the top of the slope by the second marker post. this will leave a pitch shot to a green sitting invitingly in the valley below beyond the two bunkers.
Hole 15 - Par 3 - Yardage 145 - S/I 18
This, the shortest hole on the course, requires only an accurate pitch with a short iron.
Hole 16 - Par 4 - Yardage 315 - S/I 12
Possibly the easiest par on the course! Long hitters can reach this hole when the wind direction is kind. Otherwise a drive to the fairway will leave only a short pitch to the green.
Hole 17 - Par 3 - Yardage 127 - S/I 16
A straight iron required to an uphill green.
Hole 18 - Par 5 - Yardage 512 - S/I 10
A par 5 to finish. The lie of the land is to the right; hence it is better to aim the drive to the left of the fairway. Long hitters can reach the green in two but otherwise a good iron (or wood) will leave a short pitch to the green.
