Championship Course

All serious golfers will have heard of Nefyn. It’s home to one of Britain’s most challenging championship courses – located on an exposed headland, it has been likened to ‘playing off a battleship’.

Northern Llŷn

In common with nearby Tudweiliog, Nefyn is a handy base for exploring northern Llŷn.

Landmark

Nefyn’s history can be traced to medieval times. It was first referred to in the 11th century, and in 1284 King Edward I hosted a tournament here to celebrate his conquest over Wales at Cae Iorwerth (Edward’s Field), a landmark that survives to this day.
