Morfa Conwy

In 1875 members from The Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake, realised the potential of the Morfa Conwy, and had a 12-hole course professionally laid out.

Douglas Adams, the golfing painter, created three of his most famous paintings on Morfa Conwy: A Difficult Bunker, The Putting Green and The Drive.

Hughes constructed three 'Hippo' caissons, which were towed from the Morfa to the test site at Rigg Bay, on the Solway Firth near Garlieston, Scotland.

The site of full production was behind what is now the second green, before the caissons were launched into the River Conwy estuary for their journey south, where they were ultimately to play a key role in the D-Day landings.

had been resident at Morfa Conwy for some time, but with falling attendances and high costs due to the Entertainment tax, by the 1953–54 season they and local rivals Conwy Borough occupied the bottom two places in the Welsh League (North) – a complete reverse of the previous season.
