Course Description
Welcome to Chapel-en-le-Frith Golf ClubFounded in 1905, Chapel was a challenging 9-hole course until the early 1970s when legendary golf architects, Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, combined to produce the design for a further 9 holes. With the later acquisition of even more land enabling the original nine holes to be revamped, the resulting 18-hole par 72 course is a real hidden gem. The course is surprisingly flat, being situated in the bottom of the valley with stunning views of the surrounding peak district hills from every hole.Close to Buxton and picturesque Castleton, Chapel Golf Club is in the heart of the High Peak in Derbyshire.
