Best Golf Courses in Borrowash, Derbyshire (2025)

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Just arrived back after a 4 night stay. I can only describe the experience from the minute I arrived until the minute I left as Wonderful, Magical, Cosy, Home from Home, All Team Members ho above and beyond, so friendly and absolutely nothing is too much trouble. I would like to thank 3 people in particular, and this is in no way a reflection as these were the main people who assisted me during my 4 night stay. Tracy, Debbie, Lisa. I would love to put each of them forward for a staff award if you have one. I can't wait to stay again in 5 weeks as I never feel like I am away from home when staying at Morley Hayes it really is home from home. Thanks again ☺️

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!!

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.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a great breakfast here with family after my father's funeral. It was his club for 40 years and it seemed appropriate. Food was great. Nice place. Good staff. Great service.

Beautiful, mature woodland course. The greens were just coming into their best & were fast. Some tricky treeline fairways. The course has two par three holes known as 'The quarry', which are stunning. The clubhouse has a bar & and a small function room. Lovely surrounding countryside.

Great course, facilties, bar, food, beer, and all reasonably priced. Love the back to back 5s to start, then to follow that Holes 4 and 5 are spectacular back to back 3s. Would highly recommend.

Played in the Kestrel today and the course was in superb condition. Greens are receptive and fast, bunkers have sand in. All in all it was a real treat. The course has some stunning holes and there aren't any duds. I enjoyed it so much I'd considering defecting from my current club if there was bike parking (I prefer to enjoy 2 pints after my round!), which brings me to my final compliment: the bar has well kept real ale. Play here, you'll enjoy it!

I played here a couple of days ago, and the course was excellent, a real hidden gem. The condition of the course was superb, and everyone involved with the course was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 / 5

Played today, course in good shape despite mid winter. Winter tees but all greens apart from 8th at the bottom of the hill which was a little soggy were in very good condition. Very well looked after, must better state than many surrounding courses costing 3 times the price. Always enjoy a stroll round to blow out the cobwebs.

Since being taken over by a private company 3 years ago, the course is living up to its true potential. There's more to do, but as membership grows, investment grows too.

Excellent morning, good round of golf, nice people. Finished with a breakfast cob and a cup of tea, back again next Tuesday.

Played on Wed morning for £25 , staff very friendly , fantastic hard golf course. Tees are brilliant , excellent greens have levels and the pins were placed in difficult areas. Hole 9 passes the golf shop , so you can stop and buy water etc. Overall a top notch English Golf course with a lot of mature trees which made it very challenging.

First time at the course and scored my best yet. Amazing staff and very good prices for the 18 hole , would definitely recommend to anyone who’s interested in trying it 👍

Rating: 5 / 5

Enjoyed the course. Greens were a little unstable due to the previous nights downpour which cant be helped. All jn all i would book this again. £21 for 18 holes is a great price for guests to book onto.

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

Good course, still quite boggy in areas, muddy ball in fairway

Rating: 4 / 5

Friendly staff, course is ideal for beginners that are looking for a few challenging holes and it's relaxed. If you are used to nice greens then be aware the greens are very mixed, a couple are good, most rather dodgy. Trying to read the pace of them was a nightmare.

Rating: 5 / 5

Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s a ‘Par 3 Course’. It’s probably the longest in the country. Miss the green and you’re scrambling. Definitely a good short game improver. Some really fun holes and a must play in my opinion. Love those holes around the 200 yard mark. Always enjoyable.

Lovely food. I had a Mediterranean veg Wellington, which was well cooked and very tasty. Wife had liver and onions, again well cooked and presented, just couldn't eat it all. We've never been disappointed with the food here. Top marks to the chefs. Also great surroundings.
