[3] Royal St. David’s Golf Club was founded by keen golfer Finch-Hatton before it was updated and extended by the acclaimed Fred Hawtree.

The golf course overlooking great dunes to the west, to the north Snowdon Mountain, the tallest peak in both Wales and England and to the east the 13th century Harlech Castle built by Edward I.

[5][6] Finch-Hatton's written recollections of his eight years around the Mackay area of Queensland is an account of British colonial life in the Antipodes.

Highly skilled in field sports, a good rifle shot and keen huntsman, he excelled at golf, often competing for the amateur championship.

[9] He left an estate worth £19,000 between Elizabeth Inglis Davis, wife of a settler living in Mount Carmel, Victoria and his nephew Hon.

As the settler's wife had predeceased him and his nephew was still not of age, the bulk of his estate went to his older brother Henry, 13th Earl of Winchilsea.
