History

Mere's celebrated parkland course was designed by Open champions George Duncan and James Braid in 1934. The legendary Braid, five times Open champion, is widely credited with the invention of the dogleg; and that creativity, which he also demonstrated with his designs at Gleneagles, is abundantly on display at Mere.

The Wentworth of the north

The 6,817-yard course has greatly benefited from the recent rebuilding of tees, introduction of mature trees and construction of new water features, all of which augment the original design. Dubbed "the Wentworth of the north", Mere has been home to the Howard Keel Celebrity-Am NSPCC Classic since 1987 and remains one of the best-kept courses in the country.
