The course is probably most famous for the 17th and 18th holes which are played over the Silvermere lake. Silvermere, however, really should be better known for a former use. Silvermere lake was used by Barnes Wallis whilst testing the famous Dambuster bouncing bomb. In the film and more recent TV documentaries you may recall scenes where Barnes Wallis used a huge catapult to fire mini prototypes across a lake to test whether they should use forward or back spin; a spherical or cylindrical shape; a smooth or dimpled surface. These tests were all conducted on Silvermere lake. So is you lose a ball on the 17th or 18th be consoled by the thought of all the other valuable objects that your ball has joined in the water. The course was designed by Neil Coles and Brian Hugget and opened for play in 1976. Whilst it is not a long course by modern standards, the combination of tree lined fairways and the succession of water holes makes it a particularly challenging course. Playing to your handicap is a real achievement at Silvermere.

My home club course so Im slightly biased. Always a challenge and plays pretty long even from the yellows. The signature holes are the 17th and 18th with both final approaches coming in over the Silvermere Lake. Great course with friendly members. Love playing there and will for a long time in the future.
