The Best Golf Courses in Annwell Place, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Fantastic course played in heavy winds was challenging but enjoyable will return and play when less windy someday some

Played here for my birthday in October 2024 and had a great time. The course is great and very scenic. In addition, my dad was playing golf for the first time since an operation and the staff in pro shop and bar were very helpful. He's now keen to get out and play again thanks to a good to a good experience here.

Playing of mats has helped preserve good fairways. Although because it’s not flat course this can also be tricky with borrowed mats. Greens were decent but not overly quick and a bit long - it is December after all so can be forgiven. Good layout and picturesque par 3s. Would love to play in its peak during the summer

Absolute class. My friend and I played on a glorious Sunday afternoon in October, and it was perfect. I knew about the reputation of this course as ‘the inspiration for Augusta’ and it does deliver. Dr Alastair McKenzie knew what he was doing. Amazing views from all corners of the course and despite the overall elevation, because the holes are carefully crafted into the tables of the terrain, it is a surprisingly good walk. The staff (shoutout to assistant pro, Liam) are super helpful and make you feel very welcome. Great hospitality in the clubhouse and you can enjoy watching players come in with a cold pint on the terrace. Cannot recommend highly enough and can’t wait to return next year. Proper golf course!

Excellent food, friendly staff. They were extremely busy when we went so we’re a little stretched but they handled it very well

Just arrived back after a 4 night stay. I can only describe the experience from the minute I arrived until the minute I left as Wonderful, Magical, Cosy, Home from Home, All Team Members ho above and beyond, so friendly and absolutely nothing is too much trouble. I would like to thank 3 people in particular, and this is in no way a reflection as these were the main people who assisted me during my 4 night stay. Tracy, Debbie, Lisa. I would love to put each of them forward for a staff award if you have one. I can't wait to stay again in 5 weeks as I never feel like I am away from home when staying at Morley Hayes it really is home from home. Thanks again ☺️

The champagne breakfast was 10 out of 10. The food was superb, the staff friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. There was plenty to choose from on the menu, something for everyone, and if you had any dietary requirements, those were catered for too. The atmosphere of the Dovecote was relaxed and unrushed. Thank you for a lovely and enjoyable meal.

Beautiful place. My sister viewed here for a potential wedding venue. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are friendly and the coffee is the best tasting coffee I’ve ever tasted. Just wow. I will be back to eat.

Great local golf course. Played for first time after hearing great reviews. Great condition bet its gorgeous in Summer can't wait to play here again. Very friendly around clubhouse staff and owners very welcoming. Practice area Great. Even played decent which is a bonus !

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!

Played today, course in good shape despite mid winter. Winter tees but all greens apart from 8th at the bottom of the hill which was a little soggy were in very good condition. Very well looked after, must better state than many surrounding courses costing 3 times the price. Always enjoy a stroll round to blow out the cobwebs.

Excellent little gem of a course. I have played many courses in the Derbyshire area and this is easily the best maintained. The greens are like carpets and the fairways are in exceptional condition. Will definitely be back

Kilburn Veteran's v Mickleover, over 35's football at its best. Nice pitch great location.

I played here a couple of days ago, and the course was excellent, a real hidden gem. The condition of the course was superb, and everyone involved with the course was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Went for a carvery as part of a group, it wasn't our first and it won't be our last. The staff are brilliant, the atmosphere equally so, the food is top notch and the drinks also. I can't praise the stewards too much. We can't make the December carvery but will be there January, February and so on. We'll worth a visit but the Carvery needs to be pre booked.

Gorgeous little course, tight and tricky. Staff are amazing and food great

Been a member here for 25years. The coarse is tight with small greens and not long.Visitors usually find it difficult to play to their handicaps. Five years on its still tough here after the remodeling of holes.The good thing is the new Steward and his wife are ace and so is their Sunday lunches. Give it a go you'll not regret it.🥘It's got tougher with the aging process.,🧑‍🦯

So I have officially been here twice now not for the golf but for the food and service absolutely 1000/10, 5star, the food is always so amazing and tasty and the service is brilliant so friendly honestly makes you feel like your with family. When I now think of Sunday lunch this is my first choice x

Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s a ‘Par 3 Course’. It’s probably the longest in the country. Miss the green and you’re scrambling. Definitely a good short game improver. Some really fun holes and a must play in my opinion. Love those holes around the 200 yard mark. Always enjoyable.

Friendly staff, course is ideal for beginners that are looking for a few challenging holes and it's relaxed. If you are used to nice greens then be aware the greens are very mixed, a couple are good, most rather dodgy. Trying to read the pace of them was a nightmare.

Did footgolf 6 hole course go round twice only thing prices say 7 quid on website and 5 quid kids we got charged 25 for 2 adults 2 kids only a quid difference but a good testing course and nice venue 👍👍

Superb, clean and spacious driving range. The mirrors were helpful to analyse posture before a swing too.

Played the 9 hole academy course. Lovely course for beginners. Fairways not bad except 4th hole could do with a cut (although is a Par 3 so should be hitting green😂). Greens could do with a little work but still playable! Enjoyed it and will be back

Beautiful, mature woodland course. The greens were just coming into their best & were fast. Some tricky treeline fairways. The course has two par three holes known as 'The quarry', which are stunning. The clubhouse has a bar & and a small function room. Lovely surrounding countryside.

Played a society day at Erewash Valley Golf Club excellent day out. Staff and members friendly and welcoming. Played mid July during the heat wave, course in good nick, very challenging course with a variety of holes, especially Valley par 3's (4+5). Well worth a visit and return

Played in the Kestrel today and the course was in superb condition. Greens are receptive and fast, bunkers have sand in. All in all it was a real treat. The course has some stunning holes and there aren't any duds. I enjoyed it so much I'd considering defecting from my current club if there was bike parking (I prefer to enjoy 2 pints after my round!), which brings me to my final compliment: the bar has well kept real ale. Play here, you'll enjoy it!

Great course, facilties, bar, food, beer, and all reasonably priced. Love the back to back 5s to start, then to follow that Holes 4 and 5 are spectacular back to back 3s. Would highly recommend.

Went here for my nieces birthday party. The food which was provided was amazing, plentiful and tasty plus the staff were helpful and polite. All in all a lovely day.

Have recently had a family wake here and cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are amazing and more than happy to accommodate special requests such as gluten free food, use of a large screen to display photos and a memory table. Everyone that attended the wake commented on the quality, amount and presentation of the food. We were given disposable trays to take away as there was so much food. We cannot thank the whole team enough. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you so much, we appreciate the time and effort you made for us 💐

I went here for a wake following my Uncles funeral. My cousin requested a gluten free option for me in advance. I was given a big plate of sandwiches to myself! They were lovely as was the remainder or the food. The staff were brilliant, the lady behind the bar was very friendly and the female chef came to me and explained what else I could eat that was gluten free.

We held our daughters’ birthdays/christening party here last weekend and they went over and beyond. The food was great and the service was fantastic. Kayleigh and her team did a great job and they were all very friendly and helpful. The softplay company we hired let us down at the very last minute but the staff were very attentive and they provided colouring stuff for kids to use instead. It was a very nice experience and the place made it very intimate for families and friends. They commented about the food being good and homemade. Will definitely hire again in the future.
