Nefyn and District Golf Club
There have been many poetic words said about Nefyn. Talk to any golfer that has played there and they will rave about its beauty. When it was confirmed at GM towers that I would be playing Nefyn on this tour of North Wales some of the Golf Monthly staff were telling me how much of a treat I was in for.
After meeting up with the pro John Froom I was on my way, the wind was up and the 1st tee was calling me. My heart skipped a beat as I looked down the hill with the sea as the back drop, from my first drive down to the marker post, to my last drive up the hill at the 18th, Nefyn was everything I had ever read or been told and more.

The 12th is as tough a tee shot you will play, especially from the back tees and the drive over the cliffs at the 13th. Will see you reload just to see how much you can carry, This is golf at its most enjoyable, risk reward on nearly every shot and you will want to risk everything just to say you have done it.
You also have to visit the old Ty Coch Inn, which is in a cove just below and to the right of the 12th green, or before you play the 16th or both!!!
If you play around Christmas time the mulled wine will go down a treat and warm the cockles of your heart.
What can I add to all that has been said about Nefyn? Play it before you go to the big clubhouse in the sky, it will live with you forever when you do, and your heart will skip a beat when you recall to friends the day you teed it up on Nefyn.
