Fantastic course, superbly designed as expected by Mackenzie, it didn't disappoint. Both staff and members were very welcoming. One of the best courses I've played in a long time, not long but take your A game!

***Outstanding***

The first few holes are very hilly and gets you thinking "this is going to be hard work" but after that, the course flattens out. The course is amazing and is in top condition. Lot's of great features and well placed bunkers. The rough is forgiving unless you go wide, which is how it should be!

The greens are good! Really quick, but good and run true. Cant wait to come here again.

The Pie & Chips was pretty good too : )

Great course.

The weather on the day was bad , but the course made up for it,

Great course design, fabulous greens, but tricky..

The bar was shut for refurbishment which was a shame.

Pro shop very friendly staff.

Will definitely return, but on s sunny day as I guess the views will be fabulous.

A must course to play.

Great design from the designer of Augusta USA, it is said that this was a practice for USA. Fabulous condition, although a short course definitely not easy lot of shots lost on the legendary fast greens.

Fantastic find!

Lovely day at an absolutely cracking course. Not a single bad hole. I'd read a few articles a while back praising the layout and I have to say it, I wasn't disappointed. Would well recommended to anyone and for £25 myself and my playing partner walked away knowing we'd got an absolute bargain. We will be back, 100%!!

Cracking layout & lovely rustic feel

Although the course was saturated by the wet weather the greens ran well. The picturesque Autumn setting coupled with the rustic edges of the course really are something to marvel at for any first time visitor. The 3rd and 4th are cracking holes back to back that give you a feel of what your in for early doors. Gentleman in the clubhouse was friendly and informative. Only black spot we followed a comp out which was undetandbly slow but we got in just before dark. Will Return & Recomend.

England's Augusta

There's not many better course in a 20 mile radius of Cavendish GC!!

Highly recommend to play this course if you've ever watched the master's and fancied your chances. This will give you a glimpse of how great Augusta is because you won't stop talking about how good cavendish is!!

A MUST PLAY!!

What a fantastic course.

Warm welcome from the "professional's" shop. Great design/layout by Alister MacKenzie, greens in excellent condition, rolling smooth. If only the bar staff after the round were welcoming it would be one of the best places in the UK to visit. May feel a little short for long hitters but a great test and a chance to play strategically for everyone. Stunning views, challenging holes and a need to use a wide variety of clubs. Don't be fooled by the false fronts on some holes, never miss on the wrong side. Once on the green the challenge increases, read all putts from both sides, take extra care with the pace needed. No surprise Augusta National is so hard after playing here.

The course is marvellously scenic and is very enjoyable

Would highly recommend. It is a must play course around Derbyshire.

Although I had a a decent bunch of pars and a lucky birdie on the 18th; it is not by far an easy course.

A terrific Alister MacKenzie original. Wonderful feeling of space; lots of elevated tees; tricky, sloping greens; great par 3s - it`s all there.
