Best Golf Courses in Borrowash, Derbyshire (2025)

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).

The staff were really friendly, the course was in excellent condition and the Lady Vice Captain was very welcoming as well. A really good afternoon of golf.

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.

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.

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

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.

We had a family birthday in meal, there were 19 of us. The room is okay if a little bare with not much atmosphere. The view out across the golf course was good. The menu was good with everybody finding things they liked, there were plenty of gluten free options for those that needed them. The quality of the food was good across all 3 courses and nit to expensive. 2 courses for £17 3 courses for £22. There is no bar in the dining room, so you had to go to the bar for them. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a pleasant place to eat as a large group.

This year we went to the Christmas Santa Breakfast and Santa’s family lunch. Both experiences were just perfect! Jane went above and beyond to make sure everybody was happy on both occasions. The food was delicious, atmosphere perfect, clean and well presented. Santa was great and the gifts were of a high standard. I would highly recommend these events and huge well done to Jane and her team. Five stars to you all! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Excellent game of golf, the course was in great shape and the greens were rather fast. Gorgeous pint of ale afterwards and the best fish finger sandwich I’ve ever had!

Our first time in the new restaurant and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. What a change, the design is a huge improvement from before, they’ve created a welcoming and contemporary restaurant which is matched with a varied and interesting menu. And so lovely to look out over the stunning golf course. The food was good, so was the service. Looking forward to our next visit, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic. Came for the opening of the new farmhouse kitchen and it was fabulous. The food was delicious, prompt and hot. The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. This is going to be one hard spot to beat. Thanks for everything, Olli

Visited the newly opened restaurant and was surprised with what a transformation from what it was before. It was much more atmospheric than before with a more welcoming vibe. Service was fast and attentive and food was excellent especially the wood fired pizza. All in all and excellent evening and will definitely be going back 10 out of 10

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.

Practice course currently hard as expected but such a great area. Looking forward to utilising this throughout my membership! New to the club. Very welcoming. All inclusive including seniors section! Extremely happy with all aspects of the professionalism to date and recommend this course for women and men.

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 👍

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.
