History:
Already in 1875 a group of members from the Royal Liverpool Golf Club had discovered the potential of the location for the construction of a golf course at Conwy, and a 12-hole course was laid out. In 1890 the club was formed and the course extended to 18 holes. The link to Royal Liverpool continued, and in 2006 Conwy became the first Welsh course to play host to  Local Final Qualifying for the Open Championship. The course has over the years held a number of championships, the latest being the European Senior Tour, in 2012.
