Green on Cavendish Golf course The following is taken from the club's website.

'The course, opened in 1925, was designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie, whose list of courses includes the iconic Augusta National, home to the Masters.  Cavendish is regarded by experts to be MacKenzie’s ‘Inspiration for Augusta’ and it’s easy to see why.

With undulating fairways, changes in elevation, sloping greens and well thought out hazards, there are many holes at Cavendish that mirror those found at Augusta.  Cavendish is a Top 100 golf course and is thought by many to be the best layout in the world under 6000 yards'
