Buxton & High Peak Golf Club, formed in 1887, and designed by J. Morris, is the oldest club in Derbyshire. The course, located in the heart of the Peak District, on the outskirts of the beautiful Spa town of Buxton, is based on free-draining Limestone, and is certainly one of the most consistently playable in the area.
Our Head Greenkeeper Steve Norton and his greenkeeping staff have made dramatic improvements over the last number of years to the course and have made Buxton and High Peak Golf Club a good test of golf for all categories. The Tees & Fairways together with our Greens stand comparison with any course in the area.
1. DO NOT pry up the centre of the depression with repair tool as it exposes the soil and will delay the healing process. 3. A Pitch Mark takes only 15-30 seconds to fix correctly, a Pitch Mark in-correctly reapired takes over 3 weeks to heal. 2. Pushing the tines of your repair tool under the indented area and pushing up only damages the root system.
This is advice on how golfers can help us to maintain our bunkers to a consistanty high standard. 1. Find the best entry and exit point Locate the lowest spot around the edge of the bunker that is convenient to your ball. Try not to walk down a steep face possibly damaging the turf edge, and leaving deeper footprints.
Slow play on the golf course is usually a habit that a golfer acquires over time, as he or she acquires bad habits. Or it's the result of the golfer never having been taught proper golf etiquette. This means a slow golfer can usually be "cured" of his malady. Of course, that golfer has to be aware that he's slow, and that's where buddies come into play.

At first glance the course might not seen as 'glossy' as its close neighbour, the renowned Cavendish. This is a different proposition - an excellent, subtly featured golf course with plenty of features which kept us interested all the way round. Some quite challenging ancient quarries which are demanding without prior knowledge. Dips and bumps add much to the quality of play in the approach to the greens. Overall a very playable course for a moderately capable golfer ...unless the wind is blowing! Not as up-and-down as Cavendish by any means - far less exhausting for some. Kept to a very good standard
