Mar9 Golden year at Conwy
Last updated:
After making history last year by becoming the first course in Wales to stage Local Final Qualifying for The Open Championship, Conwy Golf Club will host its second prestigious golf event in 12 months when the Ryder Cup Wales Seniors Open heads to the scenic Caernarvonshire venue on June 15-17.
The £500,000 tournament carries the second largest prize fund on the 2007 European Seniors Tour Schedule and should attract one of the strongest fields of the year with José Rivero of Spain the defending champion.
But Rivero can expect to find fellow Ryder Cup players Gordon J Brand, Eamonn Darcy and Sam Torrance among his leading challengers when the Ryder Cup Wales Seniors Open moves back to North Wales this summer.
The cream of European Seniors golf will be tested to the full over a genuine links course which has been toughened up under the guidance of The R&A.
Located along the North Wales coast, in the shadow of Conwy Mountain, the 6,935 yard par 72 layout stretches out on a stunning peninsula and its tight fairways are lined by penal rough that can punish any wayward shots.
In recent years the course has benefited from new bunkering while the high standards are matched off the course in the refurbished locker rooms and excellent catering facilities.
It’s all happening this year at Conwy which is also preparing to stage the Ladies’ British Amateur Stroke Play Championship.Why not try it out for yourself and see what all the fuss is about? It’s in our 2-FORE!-1 scheme during the low season which means you can tee it up there for half-price till the end of this month.
