Cash-strapped Conwy County Council is looking to lease out a golf course “frequented by the Llandudno wild goats”.
The lease for the Great Orme Golf Course is now being advertised on the council’s website as well as property website Rightmove – with an application deadline of May 10.
The council is looking for a new tenant to operate the pitch and putt golf course on the Orme, which overlooks Llandudno.
Llandudno's wild goats are often seen on the course.

The five-acre course is set up as a nine-hole, par-three course, “providing an ideal venue for beginners, families and children of all ages in a non-formal golfing environment”.
OPINION: Should Llandudno's famous goats should be sent to Alcatraz-type island?
Conwy County Council says it will provide limited assistance in grass cutting prior to agreeing a licence to trade but insists ongoing green maintenance would be the responsibility of the applicant.
Conwy is struggling to make ends meet after increasing council tax by nearly 10% last month and cutting front-line services by 10%.
The Great Orme, a special conservation area, attracts tens of thousands of visitors every summer as people flock to experience the tramway, bronze-age mines, and breath-taking views.
