Voted No. 95 - Golf World Top 100 UK Golf Courses 2008

Nefyn is quite unique. Apart from having a pub two thirds of the way around the course, the views are exceptional and the course itself is very fair. Arguably the best holes are 11 to 18 which are situated on a headland.

No hole in the world confronts the golfer with the distractions to be met on the par five 12th at Nefyn - it has a blind drive, a blind second shot, a public thoroughfare, a crater-sized pothole and a public house. It also has sensational views but you may not notice while ensuring your first shots are accurate. As you follow your second over the brow, the pothole is to the left of a narrow road but you may face more of a hazard on the right because one glance over the cliff could ruin your round.

The seaside hamlet of Porthdinllaen is so pretty it has been preserved by the National Trust and there, right on the beach, is the Ty Coch (Red House) pub. It is the nearest to heaven most golfers are likely to get. Ten of Nefyn's holes run alongside the sea and the experience is such that the club's boast is that few people play there only once. It is one of the most beautifully situated courses in Britain but, as a true championship course, can be beastly to the wayward. Ian Woosnam ranks it among his favourites and holds the club record with a 67.
