[edit] About the course
Cambridge Meridian Golf Club is a golf club located near to the village of Toft in Cambridgeshire, England. It is a Par 73 with over 100 bunkers. On three consecutive holes, shots are required over water twice. They are the 8th, 9th and 10th. The course claims that the Meridian Line runs up the 14th fairway.
The Proshop has now moved to behind the 1st tee where it was originally. The former Proshop/reception area is now a TV room.
On the road that approaches the course there is a tree which has a placard that denotes the true Meridian Line.
The club is also know as Cambridge National Golf.
