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

1906Club As members of the 1906 group we had courtesy of the course and courtesy is the word to describe all the staff and members with whom we came into contact A warm welcome from the Pro and Assistant.. We’d booked a buggy and it was ready and waiting. A tricky course which really tested a lower handicap but with Tee positions to accommodate a higher handicap Lady A warm welcome and excellent food at a reasonable price at the bar even at non member prices. All members we came into contact with were warm, friendly and helpful. Don’t miss this gem if you’re in the Derbyshire Dales

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.

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

Love playing here and apart from the bunkers needing a bit of servicing the course is in good condition.glad to see they're putting more drainage in.just slightly annoying that 18 hole players cross over 12 hole players. We need a bigger course.

lovely challenging course and Acorn’s Cafe provides an amazing service really friendly and super quality food definitely recommend and worth a visit

Beautiful little course. You play 12 holes then 13 to 18 are played over some of the same holes. Just rocked up and paid £20 for 1-12. Short but challenging holes. Friendly, helpful staff.

I kept driving past thinking you had to be a member, dropped in on the off chance, staff were friendly and accomodating, food yum Are you able to book a table If yes .. how ? Thanjs

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

Beautiful Golf course and a nice Golf club. Good choice of food and drinks and golf shop 👍

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!

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!

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!

Beautiful course and perfect weather, challenging test for all levels of golfers. The course is hilly and greens trcky but the views you get are stunning,, we visited as a society and everyone enjoyed it 👌👌

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)

Went on the pirates crazy golf. The young girl on the till was absolutely lovely, the way she spoke so naturally happy, chatty and fun personality. Makes such a difference to an experience when you get greeted in such a way. Had a brilliant time and wished it went on for longer like 23 holes. That’s maybe something they could consider doing… Parking was very busy but also very good as lots of extra spaces. It was an immaculately clean nicely thought out course, even the net poles to retrieve ball out the water. It was well worth the price. Will certainly be going back again..

Lovely food and nice environment. Utilities were goid and servjce was friendly. I was there for a Christmas party from work snd I really enjoyed it. There was a photo boot as well and that was lots of fun for the people involved. Nice experience, looking forward to repiting it.

Beautiful golf course to visit with warm club members. Decent charge on rented golf kits if you did not come with any. Course has a full 18 holes par 3s and complete competition course. The greens hold, so you can drop your balls on it and close to the pin. The bar doesn’t take cash, so don’t forget your wallet. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there

From the moment I arrived I was given clear instructions and knew from the offset that my day was very much in hand....when I booked I was told I would have a wedding coordinator included...my package was inclusive of this, ceremony room with chair sashes and covers, 3 course meal which was fantastic, bar in ceremony room and downstairs, DJ and reception room. The coordinator did a fantastic job or rounding everyone up and letting us know about the days event times etc, ensured me n my husband got to see the room first for meal and reception do, buffet was included also on our package which again, very nice food. I can't thank the staff enough....it was truly the best venue decision I made. The staff member fluffed my dress ready for the walk, there was a separate room for the registrar meeting too. The staff were fantastic, the wait between courses for dinner was minimal, and it was ran seamlessly. Absolutely over the moon with this venue. Thank you very much for ensuring my day went not only smoothly but that all my guests were comfortable and had what they needed when they needed it, ensuring my photographer are and again was very well looked after. The children had space to play both during the breaks and in the party room....I just can't thank them enough for my day and how it was delivered.

Not the longest course but definitely has some challenging holes and tricky greens to navigate. The course is set in beautiful countryside with panoramic views and has been maintained to a very high standard. The greens are superb and some of the best I've ever played on.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Excellent course to play and well kept - lightening fast greens. All staff very welcoming and provide an excellent menu along side traditional clubhouse features. Looking forward to my return one day!

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!!

Nice course, well kept. The views are fantastic at times.

Billed as a very welcoming course, and guess what? It really is! Enjoyable autumnal round, members very welcoming, super lunch in the bar, recommend.

Excellent course. Not the longest in the world, but technical with sloped fairways. The technically gifted will have a significant reward. Nice clubhouse with friendly staff.

Fairways at Chevin Golf Club had the most delicious steak pie I have ever had. It had chunky beef pieces covered in thick, rich gravy. This is definitely a place for pie!

We play a lot of open competitions a year and two of the Lad's had never played Chevin before so I booked us into an open. The day from start to finish was second to none.We were made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff from the club house to the well stocked Pro shop then a starter that was a credit to the club. We had a top notch breakfast then a round on one of the very best courses we have played this year. Fairways were just like walking on carpet complemented by true greens that posed some issues to work out the line in short a top course. I would very strongly recommend this class golf club.

Great course when others are too wet. Excellent practice facilities and friendly staff. Greens werent the best but to be expected after recent aeration and the amount of people playing there

Great course! Played on greens and tees all year round. I have played here in the summer and winter and it’s just a great place to come. The green fees are really reasonable. Most importantly the course always seems to be in great condition. Special shout out to the members and staff who make us visitors feel so welcome! Will always be coming back.

Great condition for winter golf. All greens in play and firm fairways. Nice coarse to play! Will be back again next winter!

Good course, greens and tees are fluffy but I guess that helps with all the traffic it gets. Ok facilities, range and putting green. Not an old golf course but seems to be settling in well. Enjoyed it.
