Clifftop golf on the Llŷn, with an extra nine out on the Point above Porthdinllaen.
Nefyn & District plays along the clifftops of the Llŷn Peninsula’s north coast, above the hamlet of Porthdinllaen. The club, founded in 1907, now has 27 holes. You book an 18-hole championship course, and when it is open the extra nine on the Point is included free. Those holes run out along a thin headland into the Irish Sea, with water on both sides. Ian Woosnam holds the course record of 67 and has named Nefyn among his favourites. Its green fees are the lowest of the four big North Wales links, below Harlech, Aberdovey and Conwy.
Book online through the BRS visitor system linked from the club website, or call (01758) 720966. Every booking is for the 18-hole championship course. The Point nine is offered free as an extra if it is open on the day, so you cannot book it on its own or rely on it in advance. The club runs a full calendar of competitive and social golf, so visitor times move around member events; the online sheet shows what is free. The green-fee page gives no handicap requirement or deposit policy. Societies arrange their days through the office, and visitors are asked to follow the club’s dress code.

This is the opening half of the championship 18 and runs along the clifftop above the north Llŷn coast. The club picks out the 2nd and 5th as the holes to remember. It is played by every visitor, since all bookings are for the championship course.
This is the more inland half of the championship 18 and completes the round you book. It has less sea alongside, but the club points to its 3rd and 6th as a pair of testing par fours.
The club also calls these nine holes the Old Course. They run along the Porthdinllaen headland with sea on both sides, and the club highlights the 4th and 7th. They were rebuilt and reopened in April 2015 after storm damage. You can only play them as an extra nine with the championship 18, and they are free when available on the day.
Nefyn began as a nine-hole course. It added nine more in 1912 and another nine in 1933, which for years gave players a shared front ten and a choice of two closing eights. Storms in 2013 soaked almost every green on the headland with salt water. The Point holes then closed for about 18 months and reopened in April 2015 as nine rebuilt holes, alongside two inland loops. The club names the 2nd and 5th on the Front Nine, the 4th and 7th on the Point and two testing par fours, the 3rd and 6th, on the Back Nine. Listings give a par of 71 and lengths between 6,138 and 6,548 yards. The club says every tee has a sea view.
Plan for 27 holes but don’t count on them. The Point is free when open, but the club confirms it only on the day. If it is open, a buggy for 27 or 36 holes costs £50 against £35 for 18, so book it with the pro shop. August is priced with April and October rather than with the other summer months, so it is a cheaper month for this links. Non-golfers in your party are welcome in the clubhouse bar and restaurant.

The 2026 season ran in three price bands: April, August and October cheapest, the other summer months dearest and Saturdays highest of all. In winter the club has sold an unlimited-golf rate, which suits a short-day visit in the off season. The Point is the most exposed part of the course, and storms have closed it before.
Explore golf by monthIn 2026, rates started at £69 from Sunday to Thursday in April, August and October. In May, June, July and September they started at £79 from Sunday to Thursday, £89 on Fridays and £99 on Saturdays. The last published winter rate, for 2025–26, was £40 for unlimited golf.
Usually, but not on its own. The Point is an extra nine that the club adds free to an 18-hole championship booking when it is available on the day. It can close for weather or course work, so treat it as a bonus rather than the reason for the booking.
Twenty-seven: the Front Nine (Yellow) and Back Nine (Red), which make up the championship 18, and the Point (Blue). The course started as nine holes, grew to 18 in 1912 and to 27 in 1933, and the Point nine was rebuilt after storms and reopened in 2015.
Yes. The inn is on the beach at Porthdinllaen, below the golf course on the headland, and many golfers walk down after a round. Porthdinllaen is cared for by the National Trust, and most visitors reach the beach on foot.
