The driving force was a Mr Guy Francis a partner in Parry Jones and Francis, Solicitors, Hall Square, Denbigh. Now known as Swayne Johnson & Wight. The first course was at Ystrad and was described as Cae Tros Ffordd (the field over the road) on the Ystrad fields between Ystrad Road and the Railway Bridge. A nine hole course was constructed and the club continued there until 1918 when the tenancy of the links was terminated and the club wound up.

29. 4. 1922 A meeting presided over Guy Francis was held at the Council Chamber to consider the revival of the club Mr. Francis expressed his willingness to purchase land known as Llanberis and to lease it to Denbigh Golf Club at an annual charge of £35 plus 32.10s. tithes.
