Needed my hair doing before Christmas (after being ill) and this salon was luckily still taking bookings. My hairstylist was a lovely young lady (Ellie Mae) , who did a wonderful job with cutting my very thin hair to give it shape, after a very nice relaxing wash and massage. So pleased with the price as well, which was cheaper than where I usually go to in Buxton!

This was my first time at the salon. My hair was desperate for a good cut and colour and I got exactly what I asked for and more. Ellie is so gentle and really makes you feel like you’ve been looked after. Great after care advice and lovely coffee!

I picked this hairdressers because it was the first in the Google list. I haven't had my hair cut professionally for over 2 years. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Sages were explained and questions asked about my preferences. The whole experience was excellent. I am thrilled with the results and will definitely return.

I was after a bit of a re-style and Helen did the most amazing job. She made me feel so comfortable and I can honestly say my hair has never looked better. She made me feel a million dollars! Thank you so much Helen and the team, I won't be going anywhere else ever again!

I’ve been a member here since January the course and staff are class. The condition of the course is quality and don’t let the 10 holes put you off from coming. Club house offers great food and refreshments

Played here for the first time today with my brother, the course, the facilities, the food and especially the staff were unreal. Couldn’t recommend this course enough, we’ve had some bad weather recently and the fairways/greens are in superb condition, credit to the green keepers. Will 100% be returning!

Really nice course with a few quirky holes, great view's, very good greens, v friendly lads in pro's shop, highly recommend a visit here.

Rating: 5 / 5

Such a beautiful 18 hole course, perfect for all golfers, variety of pars, some more challenging than others. I’m still in my first year so call myself a beginner and I like the different challenges of this course. Staff are friendly, the club room is clean and has a good selection of drinks and food. Buggies available and the pro shop is always well stocked. I had my very first lesson with Sam the Pro here and I am glad I chose here as it is bigger than my home course.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very enjoyable course with plenty of interest. We held our Captain's Day here and the staff were funny, efficient and attentive. Top class 27 holes of golf and a decent price too.

You will not be disappointed with the scenery at this place. Good course but a tough if playing in to the wind.

What an absolute pleasure to play a course which I must have driven past many times and never really knew it was here! Excellent condition out on the course. Made very welcome in the Pro Shop and Clubhouse bar. There are some little touches which make the experience so memorable. The outside seating alongside the practice green is no doubt well used and made for a welcome post round refreshment seat! Stunning views on many holes, the challenge on each is different taking the experience up a further notch! Thank you for supporting the On Course Foundation with their fund raising!

What an absolute gem of a golf course! But my word it’s hilly so get a buggy!! £40 for manicured greens and well presented fairways, different challenges and views over Hope Valley. Just brilliant, will be back (with a buggy again)

Loved our visit to Sickleholme. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The course was in great condition, greens quick and pure. Can't wait to come back!

Rating: 4 / 5

As you would expect from a course located in Derbyshire Peak district it's not flat far from it but the track is approaching outstanding both from a golf point of view and a scenic. We were fortunate that the weather was plesant but if the rain came in then it would be a VERY difficult course. We were made extremely welcome and the club house was good. I have to mention the flapjack's that were home made they were just unbelievable a MUST try. If you do have mobility issues then I would certainly recommend a buggy it is difficult I know as I have a iffy knee. Negatives not about the course but the area attracts a lot of visitors so on narrow roads cars are an issue BUT not as much as cyclists who make traveling time a lot longer so that is something to take into consideration when planning your journey.

Been going to Tansy for beauty for years and would definitely recommend her to anyone. She definitely does the best lashes around! Since she took over the hair too I’ve been twice and both times Ellen has coloured my hair perfectly. It’s the best colour I’ve had for years! If your looking for a friendly professional salon where you get exactly what your wanting Tansy Hair and Beauty is the place to go!

This salon came recommended to me by a friend. The girls here are fantastic, Sophie did my nails and she was fabulous - I felt so relaxed and comfortable. Tansy was great, did my make up for my (very) last minute COVID wedding and Ellen did my hair – they both were really accommodating and really went the extra mile to make sure I was happy. I got so many compliments! Would recommend them to anyone.

Had one of the best hair colours I’ve ever had at this salon thanks to Eve. She really really listened to what I wanted, and the excecution of it was outstanding. My colour came out identical to what I had showed her I wanted in a photo. It was so complimentary on my skin tone. I really Couldn’t be more pleased with it. Hold onto her Tansy - you’ve got a great colourist there!

Came her today for champagne breakfast for my wife's birthday, food was amazing although the portions were large, not a complaint! Service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We've been before and would definitely come again. 100% recommend it. Well done everyone 👏 👍

Visited the newly opened restaurant and was surprised with what a transformation from what it was before. It was much more atmospheric than before with a more welcoming vibe. Service was fast and attentive and food was excellent especially the wood fired pizza. All in all and excellent evening and will definitely be going back 10 out of 10

Rating: 5 / 5

Our first time in the new restaurant and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. What a change, the design is a huge improvement from before, they’ve created a welcoming and contemporary restaurant which is matched with a varied and interesting menu. And so lovely to look out over the stunning golf course. The food was good, so was the service. Looking forward to our next visit, would definitely recommend!

Had a brilliant time playing this course. Really friendly staff and members & the course was super well kept and in great condition. Stunning location and the 10th is pretty spectacular. Looking forward to getting back.

Rating: 4 / 5

Played this course today, scenery beautiful. Lovely picturesque back drop but the course is not for beginners. The par 3’s are long, the par 4’s are long and the fair ways are packed with their own challenges. On top of this the greens are elevated with run offs too. Not a single flat hole, either steep uphill or steep downhill. Its a great challenge if you fancy yourself as a player, just not begginer friendly. The staff were nice and friendly, the place itself will no doubt be a good course to return to when i improve. But i play off 25 and today was tough. Thanks for having us Matlock Golf Club

Excellent Experience at Matlock Golf Course I recently had the pleasure of playing at Matlock Golf Course, and it was a fantastic experience. The course is in great condition, deceptively looking easy but offering plenty of challenges for all skill levels. Every hole had its unique set of obstacles, keeping the round exciting and engaging. The facilities were top-notch, and the food was excellent, making it a well-rounded day out. A special mention to the professional, Christian Goodman, who was incredibly helpful and offered some valuable tips that improved our round. I highly recommend this course to any golfer!

Another great golf course that I have been to up North. Superb condition around all of the course and not just the greens. Will need to use good course management around it as some of the holes have a camber on the fairways so its quite fun and some of the greens can be quite exciting too. The food in the club house is really really good especially washed down with the beer on tap and the staff are very nice. Will be going down again in the next week and I can't wait!! ________________________________ Update: I have fallen in love with this club. Have played all over the UK but feel so great coming here. Brilliant course that is made perfect by the atmosphere of the staff and members alike. Have had great interaction leading to purchases of a new driver and hybrid. Didn't try to sell me just anything but gave me various options of clubs to try and see what suits me. Look forward to purchasing my irons soon and having some more of the great food and drink to quench my thirst after an enjoyable session on this picturesque golf course. _________________________________ EDIT: 14/10/2022 This is my go to golf course now. They are currently in the process of changing the first two or three holes by adding features to them. This will make it more interesting for the more advanced golfers by adding bunkers for the longer hitters as they will come into play on the first hole. The second hole par 3 will incorporate larger bunkers around the green so accuracy will be key. By doing these changes, this course is coming on leaps and bounds and I love every moment being here. You will not be disappointed and the staff are absolutely great to deal with. It's my second home now so to all of you that are thinking about playing this course , do it. You won't be disappointed. Just be patient as you might not be be able to play the first two holes at the moment but I feel this is going to be worth the wait.

Our Society recently had a golf day at Chapel en le frith Golf Club and were overwhelmed with how great an experience it was. Breakfast, Diner and Tea all included in the price, coffee on arrival, one 18 hole round and a 9 hole round. The club captain came in to greet us even though he was injured and gave us some good information on the course. The course is amazingly maintained, Tee Boxes, Fairways and greens are all really well maintained and look great, the views from the course are breath-taking. Fairways are very open however the course is very challenging and will test your golf skill. Buggy hire is exceptionally reasonably priced. the food was prepared really well and tasted great. the whole group couldn't find a single complaint throughout the whole course. 10/10 - Hope to see you all again soon !

Held my Dad's wake at the golf club on Monday 3rd February, couldn't fault it had the hot sandwiches and chips, they were fantastic great quality meat on the sandwiches and plenty of it, cakes were delicious. Upstairs room was great. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, would definitely recommend.

I've been a member here for a number of years now. I may be a little bit biased, but I think that it is a wonderful course. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the High Peak ,and fancying a knock.

Rating: 5 / 5

Loved this course. Immaculate condition and a friendly welcome. Fairly generous fairways but enough of a challenge for a mid-handicap golfer. Favourite holes were 7 (par 3 over water), 10 (downhill par 4 with a narrow green next to water) & 11 (long uphill par 3).

Rating: 5 / 5

The staff were really friendly, the course was in excellent condition and the Lady Vice Captain was very welcoming as well. A really good afternoon of golf.

Ian Walley is 10/10. Been to him for a year now for lessons. Understands what you want, where you are with your game & every lesson is worthwhile. Makes it very simple & enjoyable.

Beautiful course, very well looked after. Great setting and views. Greens are excellent, manicured fairways. Some parts of the rough are punishing!!!! I’ll just have to learn to drive straighter . Would definitely go back

Rating: 4 / 5

Played after a lot of rain, so quite soft in places, and standing water/wet sand on greens. Course was enjoyable, though quite a few 'blind' holes which I am not keen on. Used buggies which were in good clean condition. Shop was only open on request which seemed odd, though the weather forecast probably meant very few golfers would be calling! Didn't eat/drink there. If course was drier, and top condition, probably a 5 star!

Rating: 4 / 5

A very warm welcome from the pro shop, really friendly. Helpful information given. Unfortunately 2 holes are currently closed due to major roadworks, beyond the clubs control. The course was in fairly good condition considering we had several quite heavy snow showers through the afternoon. Good value for a round of golf on an interesting but not long course. Well worth a visit.

Such a lovely place and great people working there. We did the golf simulation in the studio and had so much fun! The gent behind the till was such a legend too!

Such a great day with members from our club in Nottinghamshire. The staff were very friendly & attentive & the course was lovely with great views over Buxton & the surrounding area. The food was excellent home made steak pie & crumble to follow 😋 Hopefully the score will improve next time, we will be back 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳️
