Golf started in Criccieth with a few holes on "Caerdyni Hill", but in 1906 "Criccieth Golf Club" opened. It was an undulating nine-hole course on natural terrain with views of the coast and the mountains of Snowdonia. The penultimate hole was a challenging par 4 with a green above the tee, whilst the finishing hole was just long with the green below the tee. The club holds the distinction of having three British prime ministers, Bonar Law, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, play the course on the same day. It closed on New Year's Eve, 2017.
