The following report appeared in the Manchester Courier on Friday 23rd February 1906; "Llanrwst indulged in a new golf course last summer, it was situated in Earl Carrington's park and it was the noble owner who was called on to open the links. When presented with a driver for the purpose of inaugurating the venture, the Earl declined to essay the first shot, on the ground that in golfing circles to miss the opening drive was an ill-omen for the links, and an awkward situation arose; had Mr Haldine been present the difficulty would have easily been surmounted, but in his absence the delicate office of opening the course had to be delegated to a professional who was present."
Result of a match played in August 1909 against Trefriw Golf Club.
