Bull Bay Golf Club on Isle of Anglesey in north Wales

One of the most outstanding heathland golf courses in Wales is Bull Bay Golf Club on the Isle of Anglesey on Wales' north coast. The club was established in 1913 and was designed by Herbert Fowler, his only golf course in Wales. It sits high above the sea and overlooks blue water at most vantage points, while the course rolls through hilly, gorse-laden terrain. There are plenty of blind shots and elevated greens, making for a test stern enough to host the Wales' Young Professionals Ryder Cup in 2008.

The 18th hole is a practically perfect finisher for a big event: a long par 4 playing straight downhill with the clubhouse and sea as a backdrop. Its fairway is a little more inviting than average as well, so you can really let it rip from the tee.
