Introducing the Course
Visitors to Nefyn have the choice of playing either The Old or The New Course, though naturally, it is to be hoped that they will allow themselves enough time to experience the challenge of both.
The Old Course opens with three par fours and a par five which run along the coastline before turning inland and a series of six holes which provide the golfer with the spectacular backdrop of the surrounding mountains. The remaining eight holes are played on The Point, a narrow peninsula with the sea on one side and sandy beaches on the other. Every hole calls for accurate shot making and in a few cases, some spectacular carries across coves and inlets.
Alternatively, after 10 holes of The Old Course, the golfer can continue on The New, with an opening
par three which, depending on the wind, can be
a wood or a medium iron. Thereafter, a series
of longish par fours and a par five
around a coastal inlet brings the
golfer back to the 18th tee with
its panoramic view of
the entire course.

All but the longest and bravest hitters will take a long iron or fairway wood and lay up at this short, but daunting par four, leaving a pitch to the hill top green. The beach or the incoming tide await any sliced shots here.
