With ample parking, the clubhouse is a popular venue for private functions particularly wedding receptions and funerals. Our dining room and board room also offer ideal spaces for small business conferences. Please contact us for details.
The Cavendish Clubhouse offers many amenities including a well-stocked licensed bar and a well-appointed and comfortable lounge with spectacular views over the course from the terrace area. The terrace provides an idyllic haven to relax with a drink after a game and to soak in the scenery.
We have excellent catering arrangements and can provide meals from traditional club fare to formal dinner events. Just off the main lounge, we have a separate dining room that can seat 50 comfortably and also a well-appointed members spike bar. The Club has a reputation for being relaxed and friendly, with regular social events for members arranged throughout the year. Members prefer informality as the rule and so smart casual dress is quite acceptable throughout the club.
Our excellent hospitality services are provided by Cavendish Views.
Cavendish is a club that is inclusive of all golfers with dedicated sections for all ages and gender. We promote activities within the different sections of the club as well as holding many mixed competitions throughout the year. Find out more about our different sections below.

Information about the club and our club captains
Men's Section & Men's captain Dr Jeff Haddon
Dr Jeff Haddon, Club Captain 2026
I am so proud to be captain of this wonderful golf club. I moved to Buxton 30 years ago working as a local GP, so I could play here.
I love the challenge of the greens that Dr Alister MacKenzie set for Cavendish Golf Club. I have been chair of Cavendish match and handicap for a few years and represented the club in Manchester alliance competitions and also represented Derbyshire County seniors.
Following our centenary year, Andie, Oscar and I want to build on the work Phil, Anna and Billy have done.
I wish you all a memorable golfing year with achievements you can talk about in the clubhouse.
Both vice captain Carl and I will be on the tee sheet in varying positions through the year so please put down with us. I look forward to seeing you on the course.
Dr Jeff Haddon, Club Captain 2026
Women’s Section & Lady Captain Andie Curtis
Andie Curtis, Lady Captain 2026
I am extremely honoured and proud to be taking on the role of Lady Captain in 2026 at Cavendish Golf Club, an amazing Alistair MacKenzie designed golf course nestled in the Peak District town of Buxton.
A late starter to golf, Cavendish is where I began my golf journey in 2018. Learning within, and being supported by, the welcoming Women’s section. The section has a full calendar of competitive golf at both Club and County/National level for all abilities and we pride ourselves on being especially encouraging to new members whether new to golf or seasoned players.
This year I’m looking forward to leading our Women’s section, whether it be recruiting new golfers, participating in both the women’s and mixed competitions or organising fun socials for the full membership.
Mostly, I’m hoping for sunshine and more good times on the golf course, with old and new friends alike, and a post round drink on the terrace to mull over the shots both good and bad!
Andie Cutis, Lady Captain 2026
Taking in the stunning views!
After our round of golf we meet in our lovely clubhouse to have a drink or lunch and take in the stunning views of the golf course. In the summer months the terrace is a fantastic spot with the best views in Buxton. We have recently refurbished the clubhouse which looks fantastic. This is the perfect setting for our many social events, dinners, BBQs, and entertainment. It has what’s often called the ‘best beer garden in Buxton’ and many a summer evening can be spent on the terrace with a chilled glass of wine. The clubhouse is not just for members, anyone can come along and enjoy the great atmosphere and amazing food. We welcome family members to join us at the clubhouse and there are many family-orientated events throughout the year.
This is a lovely quote from one of our newest lady members:
“The Cavendish Golf Club has a great women’s section, super friendly, they really helped me get started playing the sport. I love golf! If anyone locally is thinking of having a go, please get in touch”
Ladies’ Bridge Group
Apart from golf we have a cheerful bridge group who meet twice a week and are always on the lookout for new players.
Junior Section & Jnr Captain Oscar Roberts
Junior Captain 2026 Oscar Roberts
Hi everyone, I’m Oscar Roberts, and I am honoured to be the Junior Captain of Cavendish Golf Club for 2026. I’d like to thank the club and its members for placing their trust in me for this important position and will be committed to encouraging all juniors to participate in club events and competitions. I believe that all players should feel comfortable enough, regardless of their skill level to join in and be treated equally.
As Junior Captain, I am looking forward to assisting the Captain and Lady Captain to maintain the high standards of our club. Together, we will focus on fundraising for important charities, as well as promoting the love of golf.
I think the last few years have shown a really positive rise in the number of young people wanting to learn and play the game and feel that the junior section is vital for the future of golf. It provides a welcoming, safe environment for young players to learn, grow, and develop their skills, be involved in teams and find new friendships. Our club has a diverse group of juniors, ranging from beginners to more experienced players, it’s a place where everyone can thrive and we should always try our best to support each other in competitions and celebrate our achievements together.
I am excited about the year ahead and the opportunities it brings. I’d love all our juniors to get involved, share ideas, and make the most of your time at Cavendish Golf Club. Together, we can make this a fantastic year for our junior section. Let’s just hope the Buxton weather is kind to us this summer! Thank you for your support.
Senior's Section & Snr Captain Stuart Pearson
The Senior Section at Cavendish Golf Club is an active group for the over 55s and offers a warm welcome to all, especially new Senior Members to the Club.
The Seniors meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, for an informal competition starting at 10 am. We put everyone’s golf balls in a bag and draw them out in threes and fours to decide teams on the day, thereby mixing up playing partners. There are also specific Seniors Competitions for members during the season.
We also play friendly Senior matches against local clubs from April to September. We have around 14 Senior matches (7 home and 7 away), with teams of 12 to 16 playing in pairs. These matches start at around 9.30 am, and generally include coffee and bacon baps beforehand and simple one course meal afterwards.
Several Senior Open Competitions are also arranged throughout the year, which are very popular and open to members and visitors with a number prizes.
