Whitchurch Golf Club (Welsh: Clwb Golff Yr Eglwys Newydd) is a golf club based just outside Whitchurch at Cardiff, Wales.[1] It is an 18-hole parkland course. The club record is held by Ian Woosnam with a par of 62. In 2005, 2006, and 2008 the club won the award for the best golf club in Wales[2] in Bloom and 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.[3] This club has a "members only" policy.

The club celebrated its centenary in July 2014. The celebration was attended by the likes of Peter Alliss.
