The Old Course at Nefyn is one of the United Kingdom's best kept secrets, and rivals almost anything in terms of its spectacular situation. A tiny promontory that juts out from the Llyn Peninsula into the Irish Sea is the setting for ‘golf on the edge of the world', as Nefyn has been dubbed by many.

0800 043 6644Similarly to Old Head at Kinsale, Nefyn offers amazing sea views on three sides from the promontory, and keeping your eyes on the course in front of you can be the biggest challenge. Originally a nine hole course, Nefyn was extended by the revered duo of James Braid and J.H. Taylor, and now boasts 26 holes. Unusually, Nefyn has a standard outward ten holes, and two different inward sets of 8 holes, which adds much to the experience.
Heather, blind drives and devilish bunkers are among the hazards that await the hardy Nefyn golfer, who on a clear day may be able to spot the peaks of the Wicklow Mountains across the Irish Sea. There are few more amazing places to enjoy links golf in the UK, so make Nefyn Old Course a priority on your next golf tour in Nefyn and Harlech.

Love playing this course..
A good experience
Another fantastic course although it rained all day and was really windy which made it harder. Came off soaking wet but thoroughly enjoyable and picturesque.
Unfortunately we chose to play this course in 45+ mph winds and rain..whoops. However, course was visually stunning and a great one to tick from the bucket list. The old 9 holes are very tough, but enjoyable even in the wind. Greens condition could be better on the old course but totally understandable for how much it must get played. I wouldn’t return to this course personally, but many of the group said they would like to return on a calmer day… Unable to comment on practice facilities as these were not used but nice open plan bar and clubhouse.
Wow, what can I say, best course I've played on. We played the blue course which is the Point, this is a must with fabulous holes and views, a great experience. We then played the yellow course which was awesome. Really good condition with fantastic greens. Very nice clubhouse and friendly people. This is a must
Best course I've played
The course was in beautiful condition and the greens were pure. A really decent test of golf, however keep your mind on the game because them stunning views will easily distract you! What a stunning part of the world, insanely beautiful views and lovely people. Highley recommended.
Excellent course Brilliant views Just weather spoil the round
Unbelievable views all around, great course with many enjoyable holes. The 4 holes on the point were extremely tight though and we only played 2 because of this. A visit to the pub at the bottom of the hill in fully recommended!
Good cause in a stunning location, even got to see some seals. Some difficult holes, particularly one with forced carry over a cliff, which may be problematic for those battling a slice! Great fun, would love to play it again.
excellent in every way, food good, course in great condition and courteous members, unlike Aberdovey ladies.
Another great course
The weather made the golf as it showed off the landscape at its best. Very successful trip.
Suberb setting with tremendous scenery. Sadly the old golf holes on the peninsula were closed due to weather damage but the remaining course was very good.
GB's Pebble Beach with spectacular vistas. Great condition and a good mix of types of holes. Good clubhouse and grub too. We'll deffo be back.
Nefyn is always a stunning course to play, I would highly recommend and will definitely be going again.
Excellent course only disappointment was the peninsula course was closed due to storm damage. If known we would have picked another course.
Without doubt my favourite on this trip. I have played many a great course from Pebble to The Old Course, Kingsbarns to King Island, Cape Town to Horizon Hills - and Nefyn sits in my top 10 played courses - its just a magnificent setting all round.
Fantastic views, this course has the wow factor. Greens were a little bare but that was much to do with playing in first week of April. Challenging course in the wind but a fantastic experience. Would recommend.
Fantastic views from this cliff top course. Greens forgiven considering time of year
Great welcome by the pro. Very windy. Good condition. Fantastic scenery. Would recommend it
What a fantastic course with stunning views. The wind gods were very kind to us. Just 1 green on temps but overall we had a fantastic round.
What a lovely course, tough but the views over the point were stunning. We played in winter but the course was in good condition with greens suitably in good shape.
Played the old course with the yellow on Friday with perfect conditions. Looking back the old course, although picturesque was peppered with par 3’s. Defo worth playing though. Saturday was blowing a Gale and course became a real test. Yellow 9 absolutely stunning and such a challenge. Red felt like a bit of a let down although still nice views. Stuck behind a society so ended up being a 5 1/2 round. Would defo play again. Driving range didn’t have any balls, so limited warm up.
Nefyn was great, we were lucky with the weather for Sept. It was windy of course but that is standard for a peninsula course. Its one of those courses you'll always play better next time once you know where you are going, but overall a lovely & interesting course with many challenges & spectacular sea views
An incredible experience for all of the party - windy and one heavy shower. The ‘Point’ was amazing and not as difficult as I expected
Totally great experience, particularly back nine (blue). However, very dangerous for the multitude of public walkers who have access to the course. Very off putting for those golfers who have difficulty in hitting straight shots!! Don't know how course approved by Health and Safety Inspectorate.
An absolutely fantastic experience !!! And as for the drink on the geach near the 15th, what can I say ! We will return.
The Point 9 is just a fabulous golfing experience. Yes, a couple of the holes may not satisfy a purist, but that is a small price to pay to allow 9 holes to be squeezed onto one of the most spectacular peninsula location in the UK. Also really enjoyed the front 9 which follows the cliff edge for many holes. The best golf experience in N Wales.
Superb course: we played the point then the front 9, both excellent.
Great experience, The Point worth playing but would play the other 9 if I went back.
Absolutely amazing views . Such a golfing treat . A special course. Only wish we could have played the other nine holes “the point “ but still a fantastic round of golf . I’ll definitely be back
We had a great time and really enjoyed the challenge of this links in sunny, breezy weather. Plenty of really strong par 4's to test the long game. Definitely one to play again.
Fantastic
A great round of golf, Scenery awesome - a few too many hikers on the course
Still my favourite course.
This course has to be on your bucket list if youre a keen golfer!! You will not regret going here no matter how you play on the day
Stunning golf course. Best course I've ever played.Golf does not get any better or harder than here. for me highly recommended.
What a superb location and course! From the moment you arrive in the car park and look out over the expansive views you cannot wait to start. The welcome from the girl in the shop was friendly and warm, very helpful with pointers and instructions to layout as can be confusing for first time players. The clubhouse has superb views across the headland and brilliant sea views. As for the course we played the Front and Old (points) parts of the course. The front 9 is excellent, some superb holes, with the wind blowing in off the coast the course is a fair and fun test of golf, if the wind was blowing the other direction I would make sure to stock up on golf balls! After completing the Front 9 you have a choice of 9s to complete the New and Old. As mentioned we played the old. Superb! The wind was brutal, sometimes 4-5 club wind. Working out club selection was laughable at times. However you don’t care. The views are outstanding. The holes are incredibly dramatic especially the highly elevated par 3 14th, where you tee off from next to a Coastwatch look out tower! Make sure after playing the 15th you stroll down to the Ty Coch inn for a mid round refreshment as the cove the pub is set in is idyllic. After finishing the round, the clubhouse is friendly and the food was fantastic. Overall a brilliant experience and can not fault it one bit. Cannot wait to play it again and will make sure we play it as a 27 holes!
Loved this course, great condition, spectacular views on every tee. Very friendly staff.
Fantastic trip to North Wales. Played Royal St David’s, difficult course but stunning links golf, followed by Nefyn & District, the point was spectacular and Course was in great condition, an experience not to be missed. The final day was at Porthmadog and again the course was in good shape with the greens in excellent condition A contrast of heathland/Parkland on the front 9 followed by good links golf on the back 9. All the clubs were very welcoming from the pro shops to the clubhouse and the Lion Hotel in Cricceith was friendly, helpful and perfectly situated for the stay. The weather was perfect, sunshine ☀️ and gentle breeze throughout, this topped off a fantastic North Wales Golfing experience. Thank you Jack at your golf travel for organising and booking the great weather to go with the amazing golf.
We unfortunately chose to play on Nefyn on the day of 60 mph wind which made life a little difficult. One hole on the back 9 was not playable due to salt damage to the green so we played an extra hole on one of the other 9 hole courses. We were booked to play the back 9 on the 9 hole course which runs along the peninsula which we thought was a bit " mickey mouse in places but altogether a great experience with great views.
Amazing views that make the most of the location. The front 9 has some super holes. The old back 9 has a few quirky holes that didn't fit with the rest of the course. Pro & staff made us all welcome
Some very demanding long par 4s especially into what was a strong wind. As a 6 handicapper I could reach the first 3 holes in regulation. Great views and greens excellent. The point part of the course was a bit different but we preferred the other parts of the course.
We all wanted to play the peninsula and we where not disappointed by the scenery, the location is amazing and the staff helpful and friendly. However the condition of the holes on the peninsula wasn't very good. The inland holes where in far better condition but these where let down by the greens. Very slow and bumpy with far too much grass on them. I'm sure if we played them in a few weeks they would be great. Well worth that extra 60 minute drive for the experience.
Course was as expected with links. Fabulous views. Only thing 'The Point' closes at 1030 for health and safety matters.
Fantastic golf course, some of the greens on the Old Course on the Point had obviously suffered a bit from the very hot Summer, but overall, the course was in great condition. Golf Pro really helpful in getting us an earlier Tee Time. Unfortunately, we were playing in front of a Society who seemed to want to hastle us from behind, was very disappointed with the attitude of some of them making unnecessary, unpleasant comments on the Tee, especially as my Brother is 82yrs old and not as quick as he once was. Having said that, it didn’t spoil our overall experience on this great course and would definitely play there again.
