For years, players on the 3rd tee had to climb a set of metal steps to check if the fairway over the hill was clear. It was an awkward ritual. Climb. Check. Climb back down. Tee off.

Over time, the steps wore out, were patched up, and the cycle continued.

However, instead of taking a traditional route, the club took a smarter one.

They discussed the issue with the club's IT partner, Jellyfish Business Solutions, a Cardiff-based IT and security provider known for its innovative thinking, to ask: Can technology do a better job?

The answer was yes!

Replacing Steel Steps with Smart Surveillance

The solution is simple, effective, and very modern.

Jellyfish installed a high-definition, weatherproof camera system overlooking the 3rd fairway, paired with a robust, outdoor digital display positioned next to the tee box.

Now, players can glance at the screen before taking their shot, confident that the fairway is clear.

This new system has removed the need for physical checks and manual guesswork. It’s faster, safer, and a much more polished experience for members and visitors alike.

“It’s a perfect example of how digital thinking can solve very real problems,” said Rhys Clark of Jellyfish Business Solutions. “We already support all cameras across the golf club, so we knew this was a viable solution to the problem."

"We worked closely with the team at Whitchurch to design a setup that’s reliable, discreet, and easy to use, and we delivered it in a way that blends into the course and works rain or shine,” he continued.

It’s low-maintenance, high-impact infrastructure, installed with minimal disruption to the club, and compared to the rising cost of fabricating and installing new steps, the camera solution was the more cost-effective route.

That’s the kind of practical thinking that Jellyfish Business Solutions is known for, helping businesses and organisations across South Wales improve how they operate through clever use of technology.

Rhys adds, “We're proud to help Whitchurch Golf Club improve player experience while keeping safety and visibility at the heart of the design. This project is one of many ways we’re helping organisations across Cardiff and South East Wales embrace practical innovation.”
