Rhyl Golf Club (Welsh: Clwb Golff Rhyl) is a golf club based on the outskirts of Rhyl at Denbighshire, Wales.[1] It is a 9-hole course (links). In 2010 the club undertook a £225,000, five-year refurbishment programme.[2] The course is a 9-hole (18 tees) 6315 yards in total and is the only nine-hole links on the north Wales coast.

In December 2013 the course was swamped by floods[3] and part of a wall was washed away.[4] the club has since played a big part in protecting east rhyl with the new flood defences and lagoon

The club's website claims to be "North Wales’ oldest golf club and a founder member of the Golf Union of Wales."[5]
