View of the golf links with Buckstone Rock on the right screened by trees. Buckstone Rock (Buxton marked on the image is incorrect) was a gathering place for religious dissenters before the Baptist Chapel was built in Cragg Wood in 1712.
The Golf Club was initially a tennis and croquet club dating from the 1870s, the Golf Club was established in 1896, 40 acres of poor farmland were bought for a course which was designed by Harry Vardon who laid out the 9 hole course.
Vardon was a famous golfer and course architect in the late 1890s-1914.
Tennis courts are also available.
