Holywell Golf Club (Welsh: Clwb Golff Treffynnon) is a golf club, situated a mile southwest of the town of Holywell, Flintshire, Wales.[1][2] Instituted in 1906,[3] it is an 18-hole moorland and parkland course and is approximately 800 feet above sea level. In 2001 the club nearly faced bankruptcy due to problems with Foot-and-mouth disease from roaming sheep.[4]

Ancient site

Two Bronze Age round barrows known as Clwt Militia (Militia Patch) are located on the course, about 0.65 miles (1 km) north-northwest of the church.[5][6]
