Queen's Mere and Sand Pit

5th Queen's Mere
Par 3, 243 yards,
Stroke index 6
Named after the Mere (designed to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee 1887), to the west of the Windmill.
A most testing par 3, requiring a daunting tee shot through an avenue of trees to the sunken green.
A par 3 is a great achievement.
Described by Peter Alliss as ‘one of the finest par 3s’

 
 
6th Sand Pit
Par 4, 285 yards,
Stroke index 13

Named after one of the many old gravel excavations on the Common.
A short par 4, needing an elevated tee shot to overcome a barrier of birch trees on the fairway. This achieved, only a short pitch remains to a testing green, sloping left to right.
