One for the biog!

The Cavendish - quite simply the best value green fee I have ever paid. Rachel in the pro shop is lovely - very welcoming. The course was in great nick and every hole is a different challenge. The greens are tough - v fast. The course is one you will never forget. Give it a go - you won’t regret it!

Challenging course

What a lovely challenging course. Downside is that some of the greens and tees are quite close together.

Lovely course with friendly staff and members

Played this course a few times now and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. Everyone there makes you feel very welcome. Course was still a bit damp which is not surprising after the winter we've had. A very tough back 9!

Most Disappointing

After reading the excellent reviews, we decided to travel 60 miles to play this course, but tee mats were in place on all holes and some temporary greens were in use. Having played over a dozen courses for the first time in 2017, sadly this one was the only one that failed to live up to its reputation. Other than the Par 3's, which impressed with their elevated tees on to greens many feet below, no hole stood out

Fantastic course

Don't let the short yardage on the card fool you. You will be tested here. Course played much longer due to the wet conditions, and green speeds were moderate - which was a blessing. Play this course in dry conditions, with fast greens, and par on any hole is an excellent score.

In addition to the great history of the course, beautiful views, and challenging golf- the staff and members whom I met were absolutely the best. Extremely kind, generous, and hospitable to visitors. I was treated like royalty. Cavendish has given me a day to remember forever - and I played in miserable conditions of wet, cold, windy weather...and had a great time.

Simply a must-play if you are in the central UK.

***Outstanding***

The first few holes are very hilly and gets you thinking "this is going to be hard work" but after that, the course flattens out. The course is amazing and is in top condition. Lot's of great features and well placed bunkers. The rough is forgiving unless you go wide, which is how it should be!
The greens are good! Really quick, but good and run true. Cant wait to come here again.
The Pie & Chips was pretty good too : )

Great course.

The weather on the day was bad , but the course made up for it,
Great course design, fabulous greens, but tricky..
The bar was shut for refurbishment which was a shame.
Pro shop very friendly staff.
Will definitely return, but on s sunny day as I guess the views will be fabulous.

A must course to play.

Great design from the designer of Augusta USA, it is said that this was a practice for USA. Fabulous condition, although a short course definitely not easy lot of shots lost on the legendary fast greens.

Fantastic find!

Lovely day at an absolutely cracking course. Not a single bad hole. I'd read a few articles a while back praising the layout and I have to say it, I wasn't disappointed. Would well recommended to anyone and for £25 myself and my playing partner walked away knowing we'd got an absolute bargain. We will be back, 100%!!

Cracking layout & lovely rustic feel

Although the course was saturated by the wet weather the greens ran well. The picturesque Autumn setting coupled with the rustic edges of the course really are something to marvel at for any first time visitor. The 3rd and 4th are cracking holes back to back that give you a feel of what your in for early doors. Gentleman in the clubhouse was friendly and informative. Only black spot we followed a comp out which was undetandbly slow but we got in just before dark. Will Return & Recomend.
