About this course

Hawarden Golf Club sits in the Deeside area of Flintshire in northeast Wales, close to the English border and the city of Chester. The course was designed by Bert Forshaw, a professional golfer and course architect active in the early twentieth century who worked primarily in northwest England and North Wales. The layout occupies gently rolling parkland terrain characteristic of the Welsh-English borderlands, with mature trees framing many holes and views across the surrounding countryside. The course measures around 6,000 yards from the back tees and presents a traditional parkland test with tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and requiring thoughtful club selection. Greens are typically well-defended and reward accurate approach play. The layout includes a mix of short and long par fours, along with reachable and challenging par threes that test different aspects of the game. Hawarden Golf Club has served the local golfing community for over a century, maintaining its character as a members' club with a welcoming atmosphere. The clubhouse overlooks the course and provides traditional facilities for members and visitors. The course remains a solid example of early twentieth-century parkland design in the region, offering an honest test of golf without excessive length or modern embellishments.
