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!

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!

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!!

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.

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.

A fantastic 18 hole golf course, lovely scenery and Deer watching as you play which is fantastic. It's just a shame that they don't reduce the green fees over the winter months like most courses as it gets very boggy.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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

We are from Northern Ireland and touring Peak District. We stumbled on this. If you want great views of Bakewell town and surrounding area, combined with a hilly walk in the Dales while playing a game of golf on a super wee reasonably priced course, this is the place for you. A hidden gem. Also, if you haven’t eaten there you really, really should … it is amazing and also very, very reasonable! Finally, the staff are so friendly. If it was my local I wouldn’t go anywhere else. A great memory made. Thank you.

Turned up on spec and only wanted to play 9 holes. " It's cheap anyway, but you have to pay for 18, £20" I was told. Quick look on the web and we booked via a 3rd party website for £10.99 each. Go figure! Nice undulating course with some challenges. It's only 9 holes so you go round twice if playing 18, with different tee offs. I will return for an 18 soon

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Set on the hill overlooking Bakewell and the Wye valley below. Catch it on a sunny afternoon for alfresco dining in stunning sorroundings. Note, it is open to non golf club members but booking advised.

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.

A huge thank you once again to Steve and Teresa for a fabulous night. The food is always first class. Twice a year we hold our bowling club functions at the golf club. Nothing is ever too much trouble for these people. I can't thank them enough. We'll see you once again in March

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.,🧑‍🦯

What a great course, I took my son for his first ever full golf game (James 33) and it was so forgiving (but still a challenge) that he wants to play again. The course was very well kept and the greens (once they are settled) will be great to play on. The staff were very friendly and the shop Pro was welcoming and helpful. All in all I do recommend this course and all those who work there.

Rating: 5 / 5

Nice layout but it is a course that will test your golfing brain as well as your swing. Nice club with bar and food, and plenty of room to sit outside. Putting green and golf range. Plenty of parking space. The natives were friendly as well.

Rating: 5 / 5

Good price, well maintained course (most of time) friendly staff and patrons.

I held my wedding here on the 31st of August 2024. Karen who did my venue was absolutely amazing from the day I booked the venue to the moment we left on the Sunday. She was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. The venue looked spectacular on the day and the food was 10/10 all my guests commented on the food. I would definitely use them again for future events thankyou so much Karen your a star xx

18 holes,bit cold this morning but course in decent condition considering all the rain lately

Rating: 5 / 5

Just love this course, it’s a challenge for every standard of golfer and so many variations of holes. It has broken me quite a few times but I keep going back as I enjoy it so much. It is very hilly and this also adds to the challenge. The staff are always welcoming along with the green keepers who always have time to say hello. I really recommend this course. If I lived closer to it I would definitely become a member.

Fantastic course, great food and amazing service from the staff members 😀

Rating: 5 / 5

Very nice course views amazing. If your going it's £24 a game as I was there yesterday green's have just been sanded and seeded so may be a few more weeks before they are back to normal but the fairways are mint. Definitely going again in a couple of weeks might even get my membership I enjoyed that much.
