What the club says: Welshpool Golf Club is an 18 hole course that once played won’t be forgotten in a hurry. The views are simply spectacular, a panoramic vista of miles of Welsh hillside and farmland with the mountains of Snowdonia as a backdrop.

Stunning

What an absolute gem. Panoramic view that are unmatched. Greens , swift and undulating that are small and easy to miss. The course is not long and gives ample opportunities to score, BUT … it’s is a course where most holes offer risk and reward, whether it be boldness off the tee or attacking the flag. The stunning 12 holes is the most difficult in the county. A par here is a great result.
Welshpool is a must play for any golfer.

BP

Spectacular views are matched only by James Braid's gem. The course is relatively short but don't be fooled into thinking you can overpower this puzzle of a course. Recoverability from wayward shots is almost nil on many holes, so take an extra sleeve of balls. The layout, set on 2 main hills is a challenge to all abilities. Greens are played on all year and are fast, small and undulating which means hitting the green is difficult and needs to be precise. To score well here, good course management is essential. Driver is not required on every par 4 or 5 and the par 3s are difficult to hit. The faiways are perfect to hit off, with fine upland grasses growing from a spongy base, from years of peaty establishment. The course layout is not the only challenge, with this upland course blessed with a testing South Westerly that turns an easy 100 yard pitch into a nerve jangling low 8 iron depending on wind strength. Overall this is a hidden gem and well worth a trip.

Well worth a visit

Excellent ?old fashioned? moorland course - not over-manicured. Good test which relies on the lie of the land for its interest. Not for the faint hearted if there?s a wind blowing!

Excellent course!

From the moment you arrive at Welshpool until the time you drive away, I have little doubt that you will love your time here.

The course has some wonderful holes, gorgeous views, and some of the quickest greens you're likely to play on. Bring your putting game or rack up a score. Be prepared to do some climbing though, as the course certainly isn't flat. It is worth the effort though.

If you're thinking of eating there, then do it, as the portions are huge and really good value. Those we met behind the bar are really friendly.

One of the best.

Immuculate greens on top of a mountain. Brilliant holes, alot of slope, few blind shots. You will play from all sorts lies, up hill, down, side. Short par fours are fun, greens are faster than expected. Steward very nice guy, good food. Would love to play it more, will go back.

Beautiful course and incredible views

We came up for the weekend from London and from the minute we arrived in the car park, we received a warm welcome from members and staff. The course itself is stunning and I'd be happy to walk it without clubs for the views alone.

What a nice friendly golf club with superb society booking deals. The clubhouse bar was well stocked with drinks and the food excellent (worthy of its food award). The golf course is not long but it is certainly a challenge for any golfer of high or low handicap. The views from the top of the course are absolutely breathtaking making you stop playing golf for a moment and wondering how far out you can actually see. A golf course that will not be forgotten in a hurry.

The Golf Club perched on the roof of the world.

This is an excellent James Braid designed course with fantastic 360 degree views . Not a long course but very tricky with small Greens. The Clubhouse is very welcoming with the steward providing award winning service.
