Course Description
Nefyn and District Golf Club is a 26-hole championship golf course located spectacularly along an isolated piece of rugged coastline and with a world famous mountain range as its backdrop. "Nefyn – a view from the sea from every tee"Visitors to Nefyn Golf Club, with its unique 26 hole layout, have the choice of playing The Old or The New Courses, though it is to be hoped that they allow themselves enough time to experience the challenge of both.The Old Course consists of Holes 1-10 (Old) followed by Holes 11-18 (Old) on the world famous 'Point'. It opens with a series of 4 holes running parallel with and, a times, very close to the rugged coastline, before moving inland with some testing par 4s and a challenging par 3. It then moves to The 'Point'- eight holes on a narrow peninsula with fairways and tees perched above secluded coves and tiny inlets on one side and sandy beaches on the other.The New Course consists of Holes 1-10 (Old) followed by Holes 11-18 (New). These eight holes follow the natural contours of the headland and coastal inlet, confronting the golfer with some testing par 4s, particularly the 15th, a long, sweeping right to left dog-leg with strategically placed bunkers. All the holes enjoy the spectacular backdrop of the Snowdonia range. On the way home, the 18th hole offers golfers a stunning panoramic view of the entire golf course.
