We Played Conwy Golf Club in 40mph Winds… and Loved It (Beyond the Top 100 #1)

We kicked off a brand-new series — Beyond the Top 100 — with a course that proves why lists don’t tell the full story. In brutal Welsh links weather (driving rain, sleet and 40+ mph winds), we played Conwy Golf Club, perched at the mouth of the River Conwy under the Great Orme — and somehow… we loved every minute.In this episode, Conwy’s General Manager Matthew Parsley explains what makes the club special: the welcome, the standards, the scenery, and the championship history that runs through its DNA — from honours boards and a trophy cabinet that stops you in your tracks, to the impact of hosting the Curtis Cup and the club’s push for women’s golf and inclusivity.We also dig into what makes Conwy such a compelling test: a course of “thirds”, the priceless view from the 8th tee, and the closing stretch where it’s fairway or gorse — no hiding place, no excuses.If you love true links golf, golf history, or you’re building a Welsh/North Wales golf trip list… Conwy deserves your attention.Follow/subscribe for more episodes as we chase the Top 100 in 10 years — and shine a light on the courses that should be in the conversation.Send us a messageSupport the showLearn more about our journey on our website Top100.in10.co.ukYou can even sign up to our podcast mailing list on the website and get a limited edition Top 100 in 10 ball marker when you complete your profileOr follow our live journey on Instagram @top100in10 or Tiktok
