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.

Hole 6
Tough dog-leg, well-bunkered par four, with trouble to the right of the fairway. Second shot to an uphill, long, narrow green with bunkers left and right to catch mis-hit approach shots. A full three-shot hole if the prevailing wind is against the golfer.
