Today's course is definitely not too corporate, not too damned long, not forbidding in any way. Cavendish Golf Club in Buxton is a fun place to play golf. Thery are justly proud of their Alastair Mackenzie designed course.
There are memorable holes by the sackful: the pretty 4th (another of those downhill par 3s); the 6th with its panoramic view from the tee; the 11th; the 14th (a proper par 5 with its small green); the 15th (an almost ludicrous short hole); the 18th. I could go on but pride of place goes to the hardest hole on the course, the 422 yards of the 10th. There is a massive gorge in fronty of the green and, certainly for gentlemen of a certain age, the sage advice is too lay up short in two. I never do this, at least not on purpose. I go for it - and fail.
