WHITCHURCH
GOLF CLUB
Whitchurch Golf Club lies four
miles north of the city of Cardiff
and is situated on elevated
ground overlooking the city,
with Penarth Head prominently
visible and the Somerset
Coast and Bristol Channel
completing a grand panorama.
The course is sheltered from
the north by the Wenallt
Hills and guarding these
hills stands Castell Coch, a
13th century-style edifice,
reconstructed into a fantastical
folly. This forms a picturesque
setting at all times of the year.
The Golf Club was founded in
1914 and has developed into
a fine parkland course which
is rightly noted for its testing
Par 3 and Par 4 holes. The
amateur course record is 63,
with the professional record
held by Ian Woosnam with
62. In 2005, 2006 and 2008
the club won the award for
the best golf club in Wales
in Bloom and was voted by
Welsh Club Golfer as being
“the best inland golf course in
Wales”. During World War II,
a part of the course was used
to grow vegetables. Whether
you’re planning a leisurely
round of golf or a birthday
celebration at the clubhouse,
Whitchurch Golf Club forms an
idyllic setting.
