Deep in the heart of the beautiful Peak District, Cavendish Golf Club has, over the last 80 years earned a reputation of being one of the best loved golf clubs in the area.

Designed in 1923 by legendary course architect Dr Alister MacKenzie the club has been entertaining its members and visitors alike ever since its inauguration two years later. Famous for his accomplishments at The Augusta National - Dr MacKenzie’s masterpiece of design – Cavendish Golf Club has every characteristic of a genius continuing his work.

The clubhouse
Renovated and extended over the years to accommodate the ever-increasing popularity of the game, the attractive Victorian clubhouse now boasts a fine veranda overlooking the 18th hole and magnificent Peak District Hills behind.

The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant is as you would expect from the people of Derbyshire – warm, welcoming and accommodating. Resident PGA Professional Simon Townend’s shop is well stocked and after another warm welcome and a bit of friendly banter a short walk up the hill will introduce you to the course at Cavendish Golf Club.
