Caldy Golf Club

The Caldy Golf Club course provides a unique blend of seaside and parkland golf. Situated on the estuary of the River Dee, the course straddles theWirral Way - an old railway line which is now a country park. It is a picturesque setting with breathtaking views of the North Wales mountains and a rural outlook to farmland and dales to the South.

Caldy has hosted many important events in golf, in 1981 it was chosen as one of the qualifying courses when the European Open was held at Royal Liverpool and the same year was invited by the R&A to co-host the Senior Open Championship, again with the Royal Liverpool. Ladies golf has always been part of the scene at Caldy, with many county and national championships held there. From 1983 to 1988, the Caldy Classic played a significant role in the development of the WPGA European Tour, with many of the winners going on to enjoy future success on the women's circuit, notably Dale Reid and Laura Davies. In 1992, when the Curtis Cup was held at the Royal Liverpool, Caldy hosted the 'Supporters Saucer' - a competition held just prior to the event in which part players and officials from Great Britain and the USA took part.

Caldy can count some prominent golfers among its past members including Ronnie White, who dominated British Amateur golf for over 15 years, and Phil Bailey, a prolific county player. With many of the fairways running parallel to the river, Caldy offers excellent golf all year round. One of the greatest attractions of the course is the variety of the holes, with the unpredictable nature of the wind giving each hole a different character from day to day. The glorious combination of wonderful links and inland holes make for a memorable game of golf for players of all standards. Many of the greens and tees have been rebuilt to USGA specification and the complete course and practice facilities have been drained in order to maximize playing conditions, whatever the weather. Caldy's clubhouse, built in 1974 and refurbished and extended in 1999, is a splendid single storey building, with huge windows giving uninterrupted views over the course.
