Golf near Pwllheli, starting two minutes from the door

Pwllheli’s own 18-hole course, a two-minute walk from The Cwtch.

Shoulder your bag and stroll over, play into the evening light, and walk home for a shower and supper. No car park to queue for, no drive back.

• Book tee times and check visitor arrangements directly with the club before you travel.

A course close to the beach at Abersoch, on the south coast of Llŷn. Pair a round with lunch in the village.

A course on the high ground above Criccieth, with views out over Cardigan Bay. Finish with a walk down to the castle and the seafront.

On the north coast of Llŷn, known for holes that run out along a narrow headland with the sea on both sides, above the hamlet of Porthdinllaen. One for the camera as well as the scorecard.

At Morfa Bychan near Porthmadog, mixing parkland and links holes, and close to Black Rock Sands for a walk afterwards.

A celebrated championship links below Harlech Castle. Worth the drive for a special round on a longer stay.

• There’s free parking on the drive with space for a van, so clubs and trolleys travel easily.
• The Cwtch sleeps two: just right for a pair of golfers or a couple where one plays.
• Put the slow cooker on before you tee off, or walk to a local pub or restaurant afterwards.
• There’s no washing machine, so pack enough for the week or use the launderette nearby.
• Always book tee times with each club directly, and check their visitor and dress rules.
