Archive: this report covers the golf club’s reopening and charity event in 2021.
Buxton and High Peak Golf Club reopened its course on 29 March 2021, after the winter COVID-19 lockdown.
The club was founded in 1887. Fairfield Common, where the course was established, had earlier been used for horse racing.
The 2021 report said more than 500 trees had been planted on and around the course with the help of local schoolchildren that March, and paths had been repaired in November 2020.
“The last twelve months has given us a chance to work on different projects at the club. Being closed did give us time to make improvements on the course and have a rethink about improvements for the future. We’ve seen a renewed interest in people wanting to play – in the current situation it’s ideal because you can meet with up with friends to play golf and easily social distance. It’s a gentle sport too and you can take it at your own pace, and it’s ideal for anyone wanting to improve their fitness levels”, said Steve Norton, then Sales and Marketing Manager.
The club welcomed players back after its 2021 closure. For current visitor bookings and membership details, see Buxton and High Peak Golf Club.
The club planned its third annual Blythe House Hospicecare Golf Charity Day for 11 June 2021.
“We’d like to give our huge thanks to the golf club for once again hosting this event again in support of our charity in such challenging times. The charity day last year raised more than £5000 for Blythe House Hospicecare and Helen’s Trust, which was fantastic”, said Rebecca Gregory, Fundraising & Events Coordinator.
