Nefyn & District Golf Club
Nefyn & District Golf Club is a unique 26 hole championship course located on a narrow peninsula with the holes bounded on one side by secluded coves, rocky outcrops and the sea and on the other by a glorious stretch of sandy beach and a pub; a backdrop of the Snowdonia range to the east and, on a clear sunny evening, 57 miles away, the Wicklow mountains of southern Ireland to the west. Visitors to Nefyn have the choice of playing either The Old or The New Course. 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.
