“1909 - 2008”
Three miles west of Mold, the administrative centre of Flintshire, is the pleasant eighteen hole course of Mold Golf Club, the third course constructed by the Club since its foundation in 1909. The original course was laid out on parkland at Hafod Moor (today the Plas Hafod Hotel).

The present testing, undulating course measures 5594 yards from the white tees and has a Standard Scratch Rating of 67. The LGU length is 5109 yards with a Standard Scratch Rating of 70.
