Cavendish, sitting in the Peak District, has been hailed as one of the world’s great short courses. Now the product of MacKenzie’s handiwork – opened several years before he teamed up with Bobby Jones to transform a former nursery in Georgia – is being given a new lease of life through a multi-year masterplan produced by architect Jonathan Gaunt.
Running up to the Derbyshire club’s centenary in 2025, Gaunt will re-model existing bunkers on old MacKenzie styles, reinstate contours and shapes on greens – bringing back lost pin positions – and thin out woodlands to reinstate forgotten vistas across the course.
