Holywell Golf Club (Welsh: Clwb Golff Treffynnon) is a golf club, situated a mile southwest of the town of Holywell, Flintshire, Wales.[1][2] Instituted in 1906,[3] it is an 18 hole moorland and parkland course and is approximately 800 feet above sea level. In 2001 the club nearly faced bankruptcy due to problems with Foot-and-mouth disease from roaming sheep.[4]
Ancient site
There is a tumulus on the course, situated about 0.65 miles north-northwest of Brynford Church at a site called Clwt Militia (Militia Patch).[5]
