I managed a 96-acre orchard in Tennessee for 12 years. Dark spots on peaches can come from several things: big, soft spots that increase in size over the course of a few hours is likely something called brown rot. Doesn't taste very good, but won't hurt you. Bruises from rough handling or handling while too warm will cause nasty looking spots as well, but they won't generally increase in size.

Small, dry rough looking spots are more often a skin blemish known as bacteriosis or bacterial spot affecting just the skin. Again harmless (unless you're trying to make a name selling only first quality fruit in your market). It's usually weather related.
