OK but could have been much better.

Good course and friendly staff. Unfortunately several greens had ongoing work and no prior notice from club which is very disappointing and spoiled what could have been a very enjoyable round. Also too many blind holes and passing traffic potentially dangerous for visitors

Pleasant course, but too many blind drives for my liking. Course in decent nick apart from the greens had been tined and top dressed but not brushed in. Wish we'd known in advance

Even the weather didn’t stop us enjoying this course

It was cold and wet, but the man in the shop made us feel very welcome, explaining what to do on some of the holes and been writing it down for us. We didn’t play our best golf this was mainly due to the weather but the course was in great condition, and a lot of fun. No as hilly as we expected I was pleased to say. Some very interesting holes 4 and 5 stand out for me. All in all a great day out even in the wind an rain and we look forward to going back

Great Course

Course in good condition, some repair work taking place on the greens but this didn't effect anything. Staff were friendly and helpful, we arrived 20 mins early and were told we could tee off whenever we wanted. Last few holes get a but samey, 14-18 all seem to be 400 yard par 4s. Plenty of open space to get the driver out and give it a good whack, overall a great day out and great value for money.

Excellent course

Very nice course. Friendly check in. Allowed us to tee off earlier which was great. Greens in good condition. Lot of blind drives but well marked. Only issue was the pace. Too slow and spoils the experience.

Great Challenge

I had a couple of golfing mates say they didn’t fancy High Peak due to the road running through it and the perception it is a little bit featureless. I grew up playing Cavendish the other course in Buxton but still love High Peak too. It’s a great challenge the holes are varied if not overlong and it’s a really good test of all of your game. Staff and prices are very good and all the greens are in top nick. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed.

Great course and service

We arrived early due to changed family circumstances. We explained this to Pro who accommodated our request. Course is a good test as it was the first time we played the course score wasn’t great but learnt a lot, so would definitely play again.

Thanks for a wonderful round of golf

Not Impressed

Having teed off at 09:30, one would expect any work that needs to be done to the greens to be completed. However, they were covered in sand and small stones making putting impossible. Having played 14 holes they were getting cleared of MOST of the debris making putting less arduous. Any greens work should be completed by this time in my opinion seeing as though putting is a massive, if not the most important, part of golf. Overall looked a decent course just let down by the variability of the greens. Will be asking for a refund.

A links course in the countryside.

I play here now & again & it is a lovely, interesting course to play. Some holes a lot harder than others, some undulating & some flatter. Having been a quarry in years past it adds to the difficulty of some holes, but more enjoyable due to the undulations. You have to lay up on some with your Tee shots to avoid the craters, which makes it more interesting than just smashing your driver down a straight fairway.

The staff are friendly, & I would definitely recommend playing this course if you want to try something different.

Challenging, interesting test in excellent condition

Our 2nd round in 3 weeks, initial positive impression confirmed second time around. There are some holes which evoke seaside links golf, some more parkland oriented, and varied par 3'a which present different challenges. Greens are in good condition given current virus circumstances, fairways well tended and defined. We will definitely be back.
