Jenny Wisson

"We are always delighted to welcome members and visitors to Cambridge Meridian. The reaction from our guests is usually one of amazement at the rolling hillside and general terrain of a course so close to Cambridge. We work closely with our greenkeeping team to make the course an enjoyable experience for all standards of player. Our fairways are generous in size and the greens large and inviting to hit."

"Cambridge Meridian is something very special. It was designed as a real championship course for the 21st century. The back tees can be stretched to over 7,000 yards for professionals, but our aim is to give the amateur golfer a fair test of golf and a thoroughly enjoyable round. Our attitude to golf is modern and relaxed. We pride ourselves on a clubhouse and general environment which is welcoming to players of all ages."

History of the Club

Cambridge Meridian was designed by golfing legend, Peter Alliss and Ryder Cup player, Clive Clark, in 1990 as part of the Compton Holdings Group. Vivien Saunders and Jenny Wisson bought the course in 1993, before it was fully completed, and opened it for membership in April 1994. Since then there have only been minor alterations to the Alliss and Clark layout, mainly the extension of two of the lakes and redesigning three bunkers.

The course is set in rolling countryside just south west of Cambridge, with a small river, the Bourn Brook, meandering through it and coming into play on five holes.

Club Management Team

The day-to-day running of the club is organised by the management team who work closely with the owners to provide a top quality course, a welcoming clubhouse and lively management of club competitions. We are always willing to listen to and discuss constructive suggestions with members, and this openness is encouraged and nurtured. Members' opinions are valued and encouraged.

Dog friendly

As with most traditional golf courses we welcome well behaved golfing dogs on the course at Cambridge Meridian. They are welcome to sit with you on the club patio after play. We do ask that you keep them on a lead on the course and round the clubhouse. We do have dog members at Cambridge Meridian.
