1An excellent and attractive starting hole. A mid iron to a dual bunkered par 3 green with water short right.Middle of the green is always a safe shot. Many will be happy to escape with a par.2Big hitters may be tempted to drive the green on this uphill, risk reward par 4 but percentage play is a mid-iron from the tee then a short iron to the green. Birdies are common fo3The first of Whitchurch’s par 5 holes. An inviting driving hole to a right to left sloping fairway.A drive to the right hand ridge in the fairway gives a chance to hit the green in two.To get home in two one must clear the cross bunkers some 75 yards short of the green.4A short par 4 with a narrow tee shot. Drive to the brow of the hill and stay short of the fairway bunkers to leave a wedge to a small and well-protected green.5The hardest hole on the course and played into the prevailing wind. A long drive is required to the corner of the slight right to left dogleg.Keep to the right hand side of the fairway to leave a long iron or fairway wood to a sloping and elevated green.6A long and straight par 4. An elevated tee shot requires a driver which will leave a long iron into a green protected by five strategically placed bunkers. Par here is an excellent7An uphill par 3 hole. Take one extra club as the bunkers short will catch any ball coming up shy leaving a difficult up and down. Try not to over club as out of bounds awaits any o8A demanding tee shot into the wind awaits those playing the 8th hole as the fairway slopes severely from left to right. The second shot requires a lay-up short of the fairway bunkers 70 yards short right of the green.This will leave a subtle pitch into the green which is below the level of the fairway.9A driveable and downhill par 4. The 9th hole is risk reward at its best.Drive your ball left and trees await, drive it right and the ball finds a collection of bunkers.Find the approach to the green and a makeable birdie chance is on the cards.10The 10th hole offers a picturesque start to the back nine with views looking south towards the City of Cardiff. Eight bunkers line the hole and should be navigated at all costs.A good drive will leave a mid-iron which should avoid the fairway bunkers just short of the green.A short pitch onto a green sloping from front to back will need to be executed expertly in order to provide a birdie chance.11The par 4 11th hole is the toughest on the back nine. It doglegs from left to right and requires a well struck drive in order to reach the green in two. The uphill second shot plays longer than anticipated. A par here can feel like a shot picked up on the field.12The 12th hole looks easy on the card but in reality many golfers can come unstuck.The ideal play is to go for accuracy and lay up on the right hand side of the narrow and tree lined fairway which will leave around 100 yards into the green.Playing uphill the golfer needs to “club up” to avoid the bunkers guarding the front left and right of the green. Right handside of the green is the safest play.13The shortest par 3 on the course and stroke index 18. Played downhill towards the Clubhouse the hole plays shorter than the yardage dictates.Accuracy is everything, bunkers guard the front and a large slope gathers stray shots beyond the green. Judge the distance correctly and this hole can yield a number of twos.14A testing par 4 which requires a drive from an elevated position to the left hand side of the fairway which slopes left to right.This will open up the green leaving a mid-iron. The green is one of the largest on the course, find the right section or a challenging two putt should be expected.
15The longest par 3 on the course where you must carry the ball all the way onto the sloping green. Five bunkers are strategically positioned to gather any mishit shots. A sand save from any of these bunkers should be applauded.16Three holes from home the 16th is a short par 4 which requires a slight left to right tee shot.This will leave a mid to short iron to a small and back to front sloping green. Any balls ending up above the hole will leave delicate shots down the green, especially in the summe17An excellent driving hole. If choosing a driver it is imperative to find the fairway as it narrows in the landing area. The conservative shot is to take a shorter club and find the right hand side of the fairway. The narrow green slopes away from the golfer and an accurate approach is needed to gain18Probably one of the toughest finishing holes in Wales! A solidly struck tee shot down the left is vital to avoid the pond on the right hand side of the fairway.Even after a long tee shot a wood or long iron is still needed to a heavily sloping green with bunkers left and right. Many cards have been spoilt here.
