New Golf Links at Hindhead
New Golf Links at Hindhead. — Much interest has been taken in the completion of the new golf links at Hindhead, Haslemere. The course, which lies in the most picturesque part of Hindhead, promises to be one of the best of the inland links. It is an eighteen holes course and its president is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The members of the club include many of the influential residents in Haslemere and the district. The course has been laid out through pine woods and heather-clad slopes, is about 5,700 yd. long, and has every variety of hole, from the 170 yd. of No. 3 to the long No. 13 of 520 yd. J. H. Taylor, who originally mapped out the course, on his last visit pronounced it magnificent and prophesied a great future for the club. Owing to the dry sandy soil these links will be very popular in winter months.
