The
Course

Our 18 hole course challenging enough to provide a really
great day's golf. As Phil Carradice (Former Editor of 'Golf
in Wales' and 'The South Wales Golfer') says:
"The Parc is one of those courses which
invariably catches you out. You think you're going to take
it apart - and then the course eats you and spits out the
bones!"
Our brief description below gives hints and tips on getting
around successfully, Good Luck!
We welcome for all Golf Societies (minimum of 12)
and we will tailor your day to suit your individual requirements.
If you are part of a Golf Society please call Mike

S.I. 3

A welcoming opening hole with few hazards. A nice straight
drive leaves only a medium to short iron in but be beware
of the range on the right and the bunkers offering protection
in front of the green.

After the welcoming first hole the second presents a far
stiffer challenge to all standards of golfer. A long straight
drive here avoiding hazards right and left will still leave
a med-long iron into a green protected on all sides by water.

Par or birdie time. A straight drive here leaves only a

your putter.

S.I. 7

A straight par four with a wide-open fairway. For the big
drivers however the lateral water 50 yards in front of the
green can come into play.

S.I. 6
|
A slight dog-leg par four with dilemmas all the way. The
drive is protected by lateral water so carry is all important.
The water cleared now leaves a shot into a large well protected
green.

Another par-birdie chance. One of the easier holes on the
course is this is almost drivable but beware the hidden
water on the right. Let your putter do the talking.

The second par three is innocuous in distance but it is
a tricky green to hit. Wind can be a big factor here.

The hardest hole on the course. There are few hazards on
this straight par four but it is long. Much more yardage
and it would be a par five.

S.I. 1

A tough start to the back nine where position off your
drive is all important. Go too far and you could end up
in water- go too far left and you're in farming country.

A chance to get out the big guns here. A long drive leaves
no more than a wedge in to give another birdie chance.

S.I. 12

A drivable par four- but only if you take on the corner
of this dog-leg which is protected by trees. The safer route
takes you to the corner of the dog-leg leaving a wedge in.
The green is protected by bunkers.

No more than a wedge on this par 3? The lake in front of
the green, however, plays mind games and pin position can
be a killer on this two-tiered green.

From the seventeenth the clubhouse is in view. Before you
get there however must negotiate two of the finest closing
holes in the area. You start with this tough dog-leg par
four where the temptation to cut the corner is fraught with
danger due to out-of-bounds on the left. A long iron drive
to the corner leaves a medium iron in to this long narrow
green. The green is also protected by water in front and
to the right meaning accuracy is the key.

A picturesque finish to the course on this par three. A
medium - long iron will get you to the green but it is protected
by bunkers at the front and trees at the back. A par or
birdie here and you will enjoy the 19th hole even more.

Sit and relax in the sumptuous surroundings of the bar or
restaurant and figure out where it all went wrong OR thank
