Cavendish Golf Club in Buxton, Derbyshire, opened in 1925 and was designed by Alister MacKenzie.

Although the course is under 6,000 yards long, the design of the sloping greens is acknowledged as its main challenge.

[2][3] In the 1990s, many native deciduous trees were planted around the course, funded by grants from the Forestry Commission.

In 1899, the Ladies Golf Club's nine hole course was set out on Temple Meads (which was developed as a housing estate in the 1960s).

After the First World War, Canadian troops based in Buxton created a toboggan run across what would later be the first three fairways of the Cavendish course.
