Okehampton is always lovely. The staff are friendly the pro is incredibly welcoming and the course is a little beauty. Not very long, mainly par 4s but beautifully laid out and very well kept. Thoroughly enjoyable round of golf. Definitely give it a go!

Leek GC is lovely, a really nicely laid out course, a great challenge with really interesting varied greens and it’s kept very well, if you can find a clear booking spot definitely play it. Unfortunately I was playing when there was a seniors event on and the pace of play was glacial. Unfettered I did the first 10 in 80 minutes. Then I caught the tail off a very very very slow train, on the 14th green there were 4 grouse of us waiting, all separate but together on a tree waiting for the slowest golfers I’ve ever encountered having played for 40 years. The final 8 took me a further three and a half hours. So slow that it has put me off ever returning I’m afraid. Great course but check that diary!!

Chapel is very friendly, nice staff and a warm welcome. Like all the Peak area clubs the train affects the course but they have done a great job keeping it enjoyable, playable and all greens open. Mats for tees were above average quality too so all in all a very challenging and lovely game.

High Peak is a great course, friendly club staff, really varied and interesting course and we didn’t lose a ball between us! Perfect

Matlock is a great course. Beautifully maintained, Grand were excellent and it’s always a really good test. The short holes are tricky and the king par 4s very tricky. I love this course and it keeps you fit as it’s quite hilly, all told a great day out.

Like most 9 holes this course is a little short but it’s barrier and beautiful and in good condition and is a really good challenge

Course was ok for a flat tree lined motorway. But the pace of play was painful. 4 holes in over an hour, I didn’t have a head torch so had to abandon ship. Terrible experience for a first (and last) timer.

Love this course,it’s hilly varied well laid out and well kept. Always have a good game and enjoy the variety very much. It’s a long haul up the slopes but the views are great too! Give it a try.

Bakewell is fairly short but pretty and interesting and keeps you guessing all the way round. Not one for the 300 yard hitters! Enjoyed it again as it’s a good challenge and usually in good condition. Thanks again

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.

Decided to play Chevin as my own course is a bit waterlogged in the Peak. Chevin was in great condition for January especially after the weather we’ve had recently. Lovely greens on this varied and interesting course, lovely views too! Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Give this course a try you’ll love it.
