Buxton & High Peak Golf Club

Hadn't played this course before and was plesently suprised at the conditions as we had seen a lot of water over the weekend after a couple of weeks drought.

The reason I'm writing this review is due to the staff though. On Friday my playing partner thought he coukdnt make the tee time and as I'd paid at booking a few weeks back thought I aould lose my money. The staff were very accommodating and assured me all would be fine with the booking, very understanding of the situation. As it happens, my partner could make the tee and although my original slot had now been taken ( Understandably) I was given the go ahead to tee off 10 mins before.

The members were very friendly on the day also and the overall atmosphere was great even if the weather wasn't.

Overall, a great service and a very good course

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.

Course getting back to it's best,always enjoy around hear testing but gives you chances to score well,always a friendly welcome and look forward to returning .

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.

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.

Just played Buxton would highly recommend you to play this course very interesting layout and every hole has something to make you think.
Will definitely play here again .

The course was in fine condition, fairways and greens. Hardly anybody on couldn’t believe it, great round of golf.

1st time here, greeted by a friendly staff member at club house who gave us a quick and useful description of the course. Plays like a Links for 1st few holes then more parkland later on.
Course in great condition, tricky with well placed bunkers around the greens. Looking forward to our next visit especially now I know the course now.

Booked a tee off time through golfnow, unfortunately smack bang in the middle of 2 large societies, however upon arrival the staff member in the shop worked his logistical magic and put us off the 11th hole. As a two ball we flew round without any delays and finished on the 10th.
Great course, great weather and will definitely play here again.

Course in great condition, would recommend this golf course to all my friends . There are a few small quarry areas you have to watch for.

17 pound for a 8:30 Saturday morning tee I wasn't expecting the best,but I was very wrong this course is extremely well looked after
From the fairways to the greens it was perfect. The greens were very well rolled and fast. This is a tricky course for a first time visitor with plenty of blind drives to the greens but with risk comes reward and I really enjoyed the challenge of it all. The members were really welcoming and courtious which was a pleasant surprise as many courses I've played you're lucky to get a hello. I cant wait to play this course again so do yourself a favour and get it booked.

some holes driving blind to marker post.a lot of grassy hillocks to the left and right of fairway not seen from tee. greens difficult to read. this is a course you have to play more than once to get to know vagarious of it. no meals at all just coffee machine.dont let this review put you off it is a nice course.

Best I've seen these greens they were fast and true.

We played the course in really testing conditions, strong winds and heavy rain - would like to play it again on a calmer day.
Due to the weather we were the only people playing the course and despite the conditions, and occasionally having to look for lost balls, we got round in 3 hours.
Not a long course but great lay out and very challenging.
The pro was very helpful and provided us with a hot drink post round and spent some time chatting with us about the club/history etc.
Despite the weather, had an enjoyable visit to the club.

First visit, but it will not be the last. Love the course which felt like an inland links on a number of holes, which are extremely varied. Many holes contain blind tee shots, so if you are not driving straight, you could find penal rough. Hidden greens prevail, but what I liked most is the different, in a good way, feel of this course, which, is so unlike many of the others I have played.

Firstly the clubhouse is very pleasant, there was a practice net towards the back of the car park and a nice putting green on top of a hill next to the clubhouse. The tees were mostly in good condition, with a few being slightly disappointing. The greens had a top dressing applied to it which we got a discount for, but they weren't too bad. The fairways and semi-rough were both in excellent condition. The course has many interesting features and obey the BEWARE THE QUARRY signs as the quarries are very much in play. Overall a tricky course to play first time as driver is not always the best option but a very pleasant course with excellent views over the surrounding peak district

Very tough and challenging course just a shame we had 6 winter greens in play. Will definitely play there again. Great value for money.

The course was in excellent condition for the time of year, the weather was also beautiful as well which helped. The members were very helpful as well ⛳⛳
