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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Beautiful views of the week maintained course. Plenty of seating and very clean and tidy. The menu is small but with locally sourced and perfectly cooked ingredients every option our group ordered was really lovely. Staff were well turned out, friendly and helpful. They were obviously happy and it made for a good atmosphere. In addition our party included a (well behaved) dog who they were happy to show in white we were eating which was particularly nice and meant we didn't have to rush.

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.

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

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).

Very good golf course, exelent greens ,great views, Pro Shop helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the best courses in England and despite it's relatively short length it still offers a good test of golf. The course has always been in impeccable shape whenever we've played there.The staff in the clubhouse are welcoming with a nice selection of food and ales. The views both from the clubhouse and on the course are superb. Overall a brilliant day of golf can be had at Cavendish, however the weather can be brutal at times, so don't forget your waterproofs!

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.

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!

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

Course was in great condition for my first full game of the year. A challenging back nine both physically and skill. Only downside was parking on the day I played, was very busy, otherwise all was excellent. Bacon and sausage cob and a cuppa beforehand, a pint afterwards in the very nice bar. Will make the effort to go back and try the range which looked well presented with targets and trackman.

Friendly, helpful staff. Crazy golf facility looking a little tired, but still a good bit of family fun (plus a free pumpkin each, which was a nice bonus). Eating in the clubhouse was decent value.

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.

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.

absolutely loved it ! such a fun night ! the staff ( angel & xander ) were brilliant, quick on drinks, lovely chat and were amazing overall. definitely recommend for a girls night or date night !!

Absolutely fabulous evening here for my 50th Girls were great on the bar. Amazing cocktails! Thanks for having us. X

Had so much fun! Angel and Xander are ere such good vibes. They took care of us all night, and had great service! Give them a raise!!

Great little range with friendly and knowledgeable staff. New family favourite place to come ❤️

Really friendly staff and the range is tidy and well maintained, it does lack automated bays but that's reflected in the price and isn't an issue for us.

Great driving range, friendly staff.

Friendly staff and easily affordable place to practice your golf skills...had fun competing with my son on his Birthday...highly recommend it

We had a voucher for champagne breakfast. The food was lovely. However, we realised at the end, we never got our pot of tea, so we had to ask for it.

I have had the pleasure of working behind the scenes (used to be an independent wedding photographer (pre covid) and now as a regular customer. As a customer I will review first. We have had many meals here and each time the food has been beautiful, the service excellent and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is always perfect whether it is a romantic meal or a catch up with friends. It really is a lovely place to relax. Today we attended the wreath making workshop, we all had a fabulous day and the 2 course meal was very nice. It was well worth the money. They make the place so festive too. I have serious light envy every Christmas! If you are thinking of having your wedding here then you are in for a very special treat. The staff put in so much work behind the scenes to make your day perfect, the wedding coordinators go above and beyond to make everything so special for you. They work with your photographers so you can get the best photos, they are polite and helpful too. This was one of our favourite venues to work at. The views are just stunning too! One of the things I do love about the place is that you even see the owners muck in with the hard work, they don't just leave it to the staff like most places do. Honestly give this place a try you will not be disappointed

Meal for 7 taken in Roosters Restaurant on Christmas Eve. Everyone had hot, tasty, freshly prepared food. The staff have never let us down so far on Christmas Eve lunch, so we'll keep going as long as they're open.

We had our wedding at Morley Hayes. We have nothing but plenty of praise for them and our guests were impressed by the quality of the service. There was a lot of attention to detail and we felt looked after throughout the process and on the day. The food was amazing. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. We felt very special. Thank you!!

Lovely course , for the amount of rain we've had was it was dry all round. Greens were small but tricky which is a nice challenge. Lads in the society rated it up there

A very picturesque course and only a little hilly. Reasonably priced golf and refreshments with great, friendly staff. Definitely recommend a visit.

Dinner dance on a Saturday evening food excellent as always, good dj, nice dance floor and fairly well priced wine. Always friendly and professional staff.

Apart from being a very fine course, due credit must be paid to the Head Professional Tim Coxon. Probably the finest in the East Midlands. Outstanding service.

Enjoyed a Carvery and Beer whilst watch the Cup final today. The food was fantastic and good value for money. Friendly service with a smile too. Thank you.

Great place to play golf ⛳ Nice flat course that gives you value for your shots - but beware of the trees 🌳 Visited as part of a society & the hospitality & pie 🥧 & chips were great 👍

Fantastic course and in a great condition for the time of year. Pro shop even provided a cart at short notice which was superb. Greens and tee boxes are well presented and bunkers are stone free. Fairways were pristine and it was great to play a course where the long rough is a penalty, but possible to play from. Day wrapped up with a pint in the clubhouse, which has a very old school function room feel (in a good way), ended in a great visit for two soft southerners on a weekend away.

Held my 70th Birthday Lunch there on Sunday 2nd March. There were 15 of us (obviously we pre booked) including my two youngest grandchildren. The unanimous vote was, that that was the best carvery meal we've ever had. Absolutely delicious, freshly cooked, and presented by the very friendly chef. Who went the extra mile to cook a beautiful veggie meal for one of us and chicken nuggets for the wee ones. Excellent value for money. Heartily recommended. We'll definitely eat there again.
