Holyhead Golf Club Faces Closure of 18th Hole Over Neighbor Complaints

The scenic **Holyhead Golf Club**, tucked away on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, has been a staple in the community since **1914**. Known for its challenging **par-71** course, designed originally as a quaint **9-hole layout** by renowned architect **James Braid**, the club has managed to keep golfers happy for over a century.
