Salisbury and South Wilts (Cathedral)

J.H. Taylor laid out the original nine holes at Salisbury & South Wilts Golf Club and these are still in play today as the Bibury 9-hole course. This initial layout was extended to eighteen holes in 1920 by C. W. Limouzin, the secretary of Broadstone Golf Club.
These newer nine holes were then added to with another nine in 1989 by Simon Gidman, working for Martin Hawtree, who fashioned the present-day 18-hole Cathedral course. This layout now extends to 6,474 yards, playing to a par of 71; 35 out and 36 back in two returning nines.
Feature holes include the only par five on the outward half, the 509-yard 7th (rated stroke index 11), the short par four 17th (with two large bunkers in front of the green) and the par three finishing hole, where the home green is surrounded by five intimidating bunkers.
