The 16th



Pro Tips
The 16th hole at Lewes Golf Club, a par 5 played into the prevailing wind, offers a tempting birdie opportunity, but demands precision. A safe line from the tee is directed towards the marker post. More aggressive players, particularly longer hitters, might opt to take a line over the mound to the right, effectively cutting the corner and bringing the green within reach for a potential second shot. However, this risk-reward strategy is fraught with danger; out of bounds lurks to the right, and dense gorse to the left leaves little room for error on the second shot. Despite boasting the flattest green on the course, subtle breaks make putting a challenge, requiring a keen eye to accurately read the lines.

The Lewes Martyrs Memorial
Looking beyond the 16th green you can see The Martyrs memorial erected in 1901 and paid for by public subscription. This commemorates the 17 Protestant Martyrs burned at the stake on Lewes High Street between 1555 and 1557 for refusing to renounce their Protestant faith and take up the teachings of the Catholic Church as decreed by Queen Mary 1st (also known as Bloody Mary).
