If the house is unrecognisable to its present day form, then it is a virtual impossibility to give an answer, unless one happens across it purely by chance!    I give up!     Z**

Like I said, it's only easy if you know it but it's not like you to give up on this Yorkie,
After all there weren't  that many 18 hole Golf Links within a 25 mile radius from Llandudno.
One further clue should get it but that would make it too easy and you could then  wave goodbye to your bonus point!

Recognising your interest in Anglesey I have moved my attention across the Menai Strait and as my last feeble guess I will suggest the present location is Bull Bay Golf Course.

The original clubhouse had originally been the cricket pavilion at Plas Newydd, the ancestral home of the Marquis of Anglesey.   The Clubhouse  was extended over the years until it was finally replaced in 1994 by a new modern and distinctive clubhouse to compliment the excellence of the course.

So the building in your photograph is the old cricket pavilion from Plas Newydd.

That's a very good attempt Yorkie and I can see why you have gone for that but I'm afraid that it's nowhere near the 18 hole links course that the property was on.
The property was like a white Elephant as the owner ploughed a lot of money into the building and then saw all his money waving goodbye.

Isn't that building still at Plas Newydd on the left as you walk down the new entrance pathway?

Don't know - from the details I got about Bull Bay it may well have been returned to Plas Newydd when the new place was built.   However, I am not going round every links course looking for a building that is no longer there!  To my mind it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.    L0L

It's a hard one but any keen golfer may have heard about the property although not seen it because it's a rare photo.
Any more guesses but if not I'll reveal the answer soon.  It's not on Anglesey though.

Nor Gwynedd or Conwy County so there can't be many 18 hole Golf Link courses that were there all those years ago.    ???

What about the old golf course at Upper Colwyn Bay?

That is within the ThreeTowns so cannot be the answer.

I will take one last stab at Prestatyn GC where they have a residential building where golfers could stay.  See the whole story on their website.

If it was Dave we'd all be in trouble now!

Not Rhos or Prestatyn either!
