Pro Tips
The second hole at Lewes Golf Club, a par 4, requires a strategic tee shot. While the marker pole offers a good line, straying left is preferable to going right. The approach shot demands precision, as the green is shaped like an upturned saucer, with run-offs on both sides. If your second shot leaves you beyond the flag, exercise extreme caution with your putt, as the downhill slope will likely result in a very fast roll.
The Cricket Pitch
Cricket was played on Cliffe Hill with the first official game of the Cliffe Hill Cricket Club thought to be played in June 1775. Before rules about boundaries were defined there were stories of batsmen hitting the ball out of the ground into the Combe and keeping on running until almost exhausted before the ball was retrieved. The pitch was thought to be just short of the 2nd green and in 1996, the year of the Clubs centenary, a game of cricket was played as part of the celebrations.
