Positioned On the Welsh Border with the County of Shropshire lies Llanymynech Golf Club, affectionately known locally as "The Hill". Don't let that nickname put you off though, It is the unique position of the course atop one of the areas' most important historical hill forts, where Caractacus made his last stand against the Romans, that affords the breathtaking views of both the Shropshire Plains and the mountains of Snowdonia and Mid-Wales. The course measures just over 6000 yards and is set in over 100 acres of countryside seen as so valuable it has been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The club works closely with the environment and historical agencies to preserve all aspects of Llanymynech Hill for the enjoyment of all. This is the Course on which Ian Woosnam learned his game before going on to become one of the best there is. Ian still holds the Professional Course record of 65. This may also be possibly the only golf course you will ever play where you can tee off in one country and putt out in another, on the same hole incidentally. Indeed, there are 15 holes in Wales and 3 in England, with the 4th Hole actually crossing the border as you play it. All in all "The Hill" is an unforgettable experience. Just as much for those of us who have been enjoying it for years as those who have only been once.
