Cavendish Golf Club is in the market town of Buxton, Derbyshire, adjacent to the Peak District. Designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie and opened in 1925, the course was MacKenzie’s last commission before heading off to the USA and is widely accepted as being the inspiration for Augusta.
In recent years the course has been regularly listed in various Top 100s and has received 5* reviews across many platforms for the course layout and condition. The Club continues to invest in improvements and developments. In order to achieve our aims, the Greenkeeping Team is looking to add to its workforce, and an opportunity is available for a new Greenkeeper/Mechanic to start immediately on a full-time basis.
