Best Golf Courses in Ashover, Derbyshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely stunning place - course and greens were in amazing condition, pro shop and club house staff were very welcoming and the scenery whilst you play is glorious. It's a tough track where the heather will punish wayward shots, but not overly long so (if only I could putt!) birdie opportunities are there to be had.

The is one of the best courses in Nottinghamshire if not Uk. My son was having junior coaching lessons so I tried out the food and it was amazing thank you. I would love to play the course but the weather was evil. It’s definitely on my bucket list!

Love it, John V changed my life! Making golf seem simple and coaching someone un gifted like me! The course, food are amazing. The back 9 is epic! Pay the money and go. Oh try the home cooks chips and say hello to the very friendly staff.

Superb golf course and setting. Well worth a visit if you get chance, although a little brown just at the moment, the tees, greens and surrounds are well watered so still very playable.

Visited the Golf Club as a friend is a member and we were booked in for the charity quiz. A great time was had by everyone, the food was definitely up to scratch and the Jaipur went down a treat, can’t comment on the course though!

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!

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.

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!

Cracking golf course. Really nice layout with holes to test people of all abilities. The greens are super quick, and the pins are in challenging positions. I would definitely recommend a visit here! Nice bar and restaurant serving a good selection of tasty food and premium beers.

My favourite place in the area!! This is a quality course with such a variety of excellent holes. The views you have of the Peak District in the distance are amazing. The greens were in great condition as were the tees and fairways. This will be a place I always come back too!!

Peter and the team have been exceptional at helping organize a wake (around 70 people) for a family member. The venue, while simple, offered breathtaking views of the grounds and snowy hills, creating a serene and beautiful setting. The food was abundant and tasty; a selection of sandwiches, cold and hot dishes, as well as tea, coffee, and cakes. The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring everything remained clean and organized throughout. Thank you, Peter, for your kindness and for hosting a wonderful wake for our family and friends.

Played as a green fee whilst on holiday. Fantastic course with lots of interesting holes and great views. Good condition bearing in mind the amount of rain this year. The price was brilliant for the standard of the course. We played late afternoon and had a reduced fee. Definitely will play again.

Nice course with very welcome Pro. Has a small range (but you can hit driver) and warm up area and a practice green. The course is nice with some interesting holes including ones with water in play. A decent length as well, particularly off the back tees. The only issue I had was with some of the greens (which seem somewhat of upside bowls and impossible to stop the ball on), and a fair few blind tee shots. But these are only small issues. For the price it’s definitely worth a visit.

Played here on a sunny Sunday evening and really enjoyed the course. The tees, fairways and greens were in really good condition, and as far as the holes go my favourite was probably the uphill par 3 9th, although I enjoyed all of the par 3's. Of the rest the downhill par 4 11th will remain long in the memory, and the 12th will have you wondering just how far you can afford to hit your tee shot with water at the bottom of the fairway. With one or two exceptions the fairways are reasonably friendly, so a course that anyone can really play. I'm not saying they'll necessarily score well though. The greens are pretty tricky too. It's not a flat course, so if you have any issues with a few climbs then this might be one to consider getting a buggy. It is worth playing though.

The course is in absolute top condition, hats off to Neil and all ground staff, greens are exceptional unlike tapton and the social distancing is adhered to well, the only issue is that there are still too many people not repairing pitch Mark's otherwise I can't fault the course, well done all, 5 stars

Rating: 4 / 5

Good value driving range, £4 for 50 golf balls is great value. A good quality driving Matt with decent golf balls. Nice practice green and chipping area. The course is good nine holes for the money.

Rating: 4 / 5

Course is challenging enough for golfers of all abilities (9 hole - Par 35), and is well maintained. Support facilities are a little basic, but the course as a whole offers a cost-effective option to nomadic golfers, like me. I will definitely return!

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!

Played early morning earlier this week. The pro and greens staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. They were all so proud to showcase their course and for good reason! The front 9 was out of this world with unbelievable holes in every day, cannot wait to come back!

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: 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

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

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.

Very enjoyable, played in a Seniors open and was looked after very well by the organisers (cake and soft drinks halfway round). Catering staff after the round were good as was the pulled pork bun with salad and chips. Thank you all concerned.

Clean and cozy place for all ages. It’s always nice to come and relax with your family 🥰 It’s always fashionable to find new friends here and even just chat with nice people. No matter where you go in Chatsworth, they will always accept you as you are. They will always help and advise if you have any difficulties or questions. There is parking and a toilet nearby.
