Great golf course on the edge of Derbyshire. Lots of different styles holes to challenge every level. Some of the views from the course are absolutely stunning. The par three 16th which is 230 yards off the yellows, down a steep hill overlooking the Manchester valley, on any given day, can be played with an eight iron, or as much as three wood, depending on the wind. Truly a fantastic course for a very enjoyable days golf.

Such a beautiful 18 hole course, perfect for all golfers, variety of pars, some more challenging than others. I’m still in my first year so call myself a beginner and I like the different challenges of this course. Staff are friendly, the club room is clean and has a good selection of drinks and food. Buggies available and the pro shop is always well stocked. I had my very first lesson with Sam the Pro here and I am glad I chose here as it is bigger than my home course.

You will not be disappointed with the scenery at this place. Good course but a tough if playing in to the wind.

Rebecca and the team at Peekaboo were fantastic from start to finish with our event! From the start with the planning the team paid much attention to our thoughts and ideas but also offered their own expertise to craft together a wonderful design. Seeing our venue dressed up with the decor was a marvel! Everything was perfect and our guests provided so many compliments to the work that Peekaboo had done! I would highly recommend them to all!

Sammy was an absolute dream to work with on my wedding! She was so kind, helpful and just understood the vision! Our wedding decor was stunning, we had compliments all night! The outdoor mandap in the sunshine was beautiful and made the day really special. Sammy went over and beyond and really appreciate the high class service our family received. Peekaboo were great, highly recommend their services and decor - stunning details!

We used Peekaboo Events for my daughters wedding at the Mere in Knutsford. Aaron worked with us to create my daughters vision for her perfect day!

The best decor company in the UK. They went above and beyond for my reception decor, dealt with my indecisiveness for months, advised me on what would look best and allowed me to make my own changes making the arrangements bespoke, to reflect my colour scheme. They provided me with extras and transformed the room, making it look so grand. I would fully recommend peekaboo and only peekaboo for decor.. The best in the game!!!!! Thank you so much!

Cracking golf course. Really nice layout with holes to test people of all abilities. The greens are super quick, and the pins are in challenging positions. I would definitely recommend a visit here! Nice bar and restaurant serving a good selection of tasty food and premium beers.

Excellent course to play and well kept - lightening fast greens. All staff very welcoming and provide an excellent menu along side traditional clubhouse features. Looking forward to my return one day!

My favourite place in the area!! This is a quality course with such a variety of excellent holes. The views you have of the Peak District in the distance are amazing. The greens were in great condition as were the tees and fairways. This will be a place I always come back too!!

Rating: 5 / 5

Not the longest course but definitely has some challenging holes and tricky greens to navigate. The course is set in beautiful countryside with panoramic views and has been maintained to a very high standard. The greens are superb and some of the best I've ever played on.

Rating: 4 / 5

Playing of mats has helped preserve good fairways. Although because it’s not flat course this can also be tricky with borrowed mats. Greens were decent but not overly quick and a bit long - it is December after all so can be forgiven. Good layout and picturesque par 3s. Would love to play in its peak during the summer

Played here for my birthday in October 2024 and had a great time. The course is great and very scenic. In addition, my dad was playing golf for the first time since an operation and the staff in pro shop and bar were very helpful. He's now keen to get out and play again thanks to a good to a good experience here.

Absolute class. My friend and I played on a glorious Sunday afternoon in October, and it was perfect. I knew about the reputation of this course as ‘the inspiration for Augusta’ and it does deliver. Dr Alastair McKenzie knew what he was doing. Amazing views from all corners of the course and despite the overall elevation, because the holes are carefully crafted into the tables of the terrain, it is a surprisingly good walk. The staff (shoutout to assistant pro, Liam) are super helpful and make you feel very welcome. Great hospitality in the clubhouse and you can enjoy watching players come in with a cold pint on the terrace. Cannot recommend highly enough and can’t wait to return next year. Proper golf course!

On behalf of myself and my new husband, I’d like to thank Georgia and Karen for making our wedding day the best of our lives! Their attention to detail, kindness and professionalism made the whole planning process not only seamless and simple but such good fun, too! Their standards are impeccable and nothing was too much to ask. Upper House, the most beautiful venue in the Peak District, will always have a special place in our hearts.

Where on earth do I start... we first came to view Upper House for our wedding in January. From the moment we stepped through the door Georgia made us feel so at home. We booked our wedding instantly and from that moment on the team have been nothing less than perfect. Georgia, Andy and Karen have been absolutely fantastic, there are no words to explain the hard work and care that they have all put into our wedding weekend, before, during and after. No job was too big or too small for any of the team - including Andy appearing as if by magic to clean up spillages and broken glass on the dance floor! (This did not go unnoticed and we appreciate it so much). The whole team made friends with our family and they just felt like they were guests at our wedding (albeit extremely helpful ones!!). The venue is beautiful and I love that it's like a hidden secret, we had an amazingly intimate wedding weekend with our closest family and friends whom all could not believe how breathtaking Upper House was. If you are thinking about hiring Upper House for your event then do not think twice! You will not regret it. Thank you once again so so much, it was truly amazing ❤️

If you are looking for a unique wedding venue with old world charm, intimate entertainment spaces, comfortable and stylish accommodation in a dramatic countryside setting, then this is the place for you! Upper House Estate is a very special place, not just because of its history and unbelievable location in the foothills of Kinder Scout, but because of the people who run it. The Upper House team - Georgia, Karen, Andy and Emma - took the best care of us, from the start of our wedding planning process through to the day itself, with attention to detail, excellent communication, and a welcoming spirit. Our time staying at the house over the wedding weekend, and the day itself, was more magical than we could have imagined, with smooth, professional staffing and excellent catering. We had the best time, as did our guests, and are taking away many beautiful and happy memories. Thank you Upper House!! Photos: Luis Calow Weddings

Clean and cozy place for all ages. It’s always nice to come and relax with your family 🥰 It’s always fashionable to find new friends here and even just chat with nice people. No matter where you go in Chatsworth, they will always accept you as you are. They will always help and advise if you have any difficulties or questions. There is parking and a toilet nearby.

Very enjoyable, played in a Seniors open and was looked after very well by the organisers (cake and soft drinks halfway round). Catering staff after the round were good as was the pulled pork bun with salad and chips. Thank you all concerned.

The reason for visiting the Cavendish Club was for a funeral wake, but I have to say, the spread put on by them was marvellous, as was the club itself and the staff. We hope to call again soon under different circumstances.

Great tight 9 holer worth the trip will play again

A lovely, pretty course. Obviously gorgeous in today's sunshine. Quite testing, but had a thoroughly great morning. Nice, friendly bar staff. Can't wait to get back at some point very soon. A little problematic with holes crossing over each other, but with no time constraint, wasn't a problem for our 4-ball

I have just joined this club and I was nervous as I am quite a new player but everyone has been friendly and welcoming, I feel informed on the course and events that are happening. The course is great and I am looking forward to playing more and in the Summer getting my handicap. I have eaten here in the past and it has been delicious, staff are friendly too.

Fabulous golf course. The staff are really good and the food

Visited the newly opened restaurant and was surprised with what a transformation from what it was before. It was much more atmospheric than before with a more welcoming vibe. Service was fast and attentive and food was excellent especially the wood fired pizza. All in all and excellent evening and will definitely be going back 10 out of 10

Came her today for champagne breakfast for my wife's birthday, food was amazing although the portions were large, not a complaint! Service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We've been before and would definitely come again. 100% recommend it. Well done everyone 👏 👍

Fantastic. Came for the opening of the new farmhouse kitchen and it was fabulous. The food was delicious, prompt and hot. The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. This is going to be one hard spot to beat. Thanks for everything, Olli

Such a great day with members from our club in Nottinghamshire. The staff were very friendly & attentive & the course was lovely with great views over Buxton & the surrounding area. The food was excellent home made steak pie & crumble to follow 😋 Hopefully the score will improve next time, we will be back 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳️

Played after a lot of rain, so quite soft in places, and standing water/wet sand on greens. Course was enjoyable, though quite a few 'blind' holes which I am not keen on. Used buggies which were in good clean condition. Shop was only open on request which seemed odd, though the weather forecast probably meant very few golfers would be calling! Didn't eat/drink there. If course was drier, and top condition, probably a 5 star!

Rating: 4 / 5

Great course, always in good condition. The green fees are so reasonable!! The course provides a great variety for all golfers even having a links feel to 4 of the holes. I would definitely recommend a visit!!

Rating: 4 / 5

A very warm welcome from the pro shop, really friendly. Helpful information given. Unfortunately 2 holes are currently closed due to major roadworks, beyond the clubs control. The course was in fairly good condition considering we had several quite heavy snow showers through the afternoon. Good value for a round of golf on an interesting but not long course. Well worth a visit.

Sarah was amazing from the first moment we met her. She was really helpful and took loads of the stress off me. We had her to decorate for our engagement party she made the whole process so much easier. We can’t wait to get her booked for our wedding! ❤️💍 Edit: 2025 Sarah did my wedding decorations too and she was amazing yet again, she made the whole process so stress free and the venue looked incredible, I can’t wait for my next big event so I can use Sarah again 🩷

Sarah, you are amazing! You bought to life our incredible venue with everything we asked for and more! Nothing was too much, you put our minds at rest throughout the whole process and every one or our guests commented on how amazing our decor was. Thankyou so much for all of your help and working tirelessly to fulfil our wishes on a big wedding and moving the trees downstairs after the ceremony!
