Some English and Welsh NLEs
All I know about Colwyn Bay is that it was on high ground above what is now Colwyn Bay Zoo. These days it is a housing estate and if you put St Andrews Road, Colwyn Bay into Google Earth you have located it. I think there might be a Wentworth Road, too. The views must have been magnificent – over the sea, coastline and into Snowdonia.
Old Colwyn is further east, above Old Colwyn. It was, apparently, 18 holes. Now it is only 9. I have played it and it is quite fun in an eccentric sort of way. The first time I played it was with my father. As he was unloading his golf bag a ball fell out of an unzipped pocket. He tried to stop it with his foot, but missed. It shot off down the hill from the car park into the street and very probably continued to accelerate until it sped into the sea.
