A round at Cavendish

this was my first time playing the course and I found from the time I arrived to the time I left the staff and members of the club freindly and hospitable. The course for me was a good challenge as I don't get to play that often, the fairways are nice and wide and thegrass short, even on teh edge which is a help to a novice like me saved me a number of balls, the greens are well kept.

Thank you to all at eth Cavendish golf club for a wonderful day of golf, I would highly recommend this course, especially if you haven't played it before

Fantastic course in an amazing location, an absolute pleasure to play.

Tough windy conditions whilst playing and even though i played in winter the course was brilliant.

Can’t wait to play again in the summer, maybe sooner 😁 !

Charming

My first visit to The Cavendish this week. A short gem of a course. We didn’t get the full summer treatment as 4 greens were temporary and some of the tee boxes were forward/temp but we got a great feel for the place even though. It was charming. Very, very enjoyable.

Not the most difficult of courses or the longest having driven a couple of holes and leaving 50 yards in on a few others, but if you’re dialled in with the wedges this course can repay you kindly.

There was a bit of work happening out on the course that the members will see the benefits of in the summer.

Will be back to play this in the summer. Can’t wait. Handsome and surrounded by the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. A hidden gem.

Amazing greens

What a brilliant course, my son and I had a great round and loved every hole. Staff in Pro shop really friendly, even a warm welcome written on the board outside the shop! Greens are something else, I’d recommend anyone to play this course. Thank to everyone at Cavendish

Fabulous course - tough greens

Delightful course played for second time as the first time was extremely cold windy and wet.

This time conditions were perfect and reflected in the scorecard although position on the greens is crucial or you can be easily be looking at a 3 putt
