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

Accompanied the granddaughter to breakfast with santa,,the hospitality staff were brilliant, and the morning was really well organised, from the believable santa to the great food. Will definitely be back next year.

A lovely and interesting golf course in great condition. Played as a visitor by myself on a weekday - members are very friendly and welcoming. Fast becoming one of my favourite clubs in the area.

We celebrated my son’s 40th birthday at the club. Great venue fantastic food & service from the in house staff.

Brilliant golf course, really well maintained. Enjoyed playing here, the weather was on our side too. The course is full of hills, which makes it more fun to play but can leave you out of breath. Would recommend playing here as it’s reasonably priced via Golf Now app.

After having played a couple of times this past fortnight, I must say what a lovely well kept and attended course. I have really enjoyed playing here. As a high handicapper, having only played for just over a year, I found it challenging but really a very rewarding experience. The staff in the clubhouse are lovely and friendly. A very welcoming club. If I lived closer, I would be very tempted to join. We will definitely be back. Thank you !

What a fantastic golf club, one of the best we have played. Great course in great condition. The welcome was genuinely warm and welcoming. The food was superb. The decor was just lovely and the ladies room was beautiful. We will definitely be back every time we are in the area. I honestly can’t recommend enough.

What a wonderful course. The views are stunning and the course condition was top notch. Nice mixture of holes but not so testing it leaves you disheartened. A good honest course. Clubhouse and bar is great with good seating outside for a drink after (or bacon sandwich before)! Can’t recommend highly enough

Made our first visit of the year yesterday. Warm welcome from Claire and staff ,whole package excellent as per usual.Made use of the new buggies ,just another improvement to this excellent club . Hope to see you on a number of occasions throughout the year . Boys from Alfreton . Thank You.

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

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

Absolutely amazing course worth every penny and we are back 25th May... cant wait

The course is beautiful thanks to the amazing work by the greenkeepers. I've just been to the range and am wondering why I don't make more use of this facility. Silly really, given that I want to improve my golf and I get a million range balls included in my membership.

Brilliant range. Very well set out targets covering all distances. Top quality mats, top quality range balls and top quality professionals. Would recommend to anyone looking for facilities to improve their game.

Brilliant driving range and facilities. The automatic ball dispensers have been removed which has made life a bit more difficult. The log burner in he winter time is especially good for warming yourself up again. The only thing that’s missing is a happy hour when a basket of balls is half price.

Great range. Good facilities, clean tidy. Toilets, refreshments. And better value than most ranges. £3.60 I think for a large buckets of balls.

Fantastic golf course.. 👍 Very friendly welcoming staff. I will definitely be revisiting hopefully on a less windy day.😁

A fantastic day at Cavendish GC. You can really see why this has been an inspiration for Augusta in certain areas of the course. Absolutely stunning views throughout. We were shocked how quiet it was for a mid afternoon tee-time. Bunkers were beautiful, flour like almost. Fairways were well kept and the ball rolled beautifully. The greens were quick (my entire 4 ball doesn’t want to talk about the 3rd green lol). Some tricky par 3s but definitely a nice experience for all golfers. Highly recommend for the price.

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!

What a fabulous course. Every hole was different and the views were amazing. A very friendly clubhouse, everyone happy to help where possible and we were extremely lucky to be able to take our black labrador, Blue, with us. Would love to play there again. Might even play it a little differently especially the 15th par 3 ending up as an 11 after landing just off the green and then chipping on only to have the ball return to me again and again from their very nasty slope. Fast greens but in lovely condition.

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!

Our first visit to Horsley Lodge Restaurant was a delightful experience. We were a party of seven, including a high chair, and received a warm welcome before being promptly seated. The restaurant itself is beautiful and notably spacious, with ample room between tables. Our seats, positioned in front of the bi-fold doors, offered stunning views of the golf course. The staff were attentive, quickly taking our drink orders and surprising the mothers in our group with complimentary glasses of prosecco and primrose plants—a lovely, thoughtful touch. The Sunday lunch, which we all opted for, was exceptionally well-executed, from the starters to the desserts. Each course was delicious, and the prices were quite reasonable. Overall, the combination of excellent service, delicious food, and fair pricing made for a memorable dining experience. We will certainly be returning soon.

Enjoyed an excellent breakfast on our 1st visit to Horsley Lodge. Wonderful views across the golf course & surrounding countryside. Well done chef, a perfect full English with quality ingredients, our best breakfast ever at a great price. Will return soon to sample the lunch menu.

We decided to book a champagne breakfast the day after our diamond Wedding Anniversary on which was 17th April. The breakfast was arranged for Good Friday , 18th. As it was Easter weekend, we confirmed the booking last August. The menu had changed in 2025 but they agreed to honour our original booking which was based on the previous menu. We placed our individual orders a week before the event. Our party consisted of 21 adults and two children plus a baby. We were welcomed warmly and given the Atrium which was beautifully laid out for us. Once we were seated the various courses were served. The staff were extremely attentive, ensuring that the coffee pots and teapots were replenished throughout the meal and orange juice regularly topped up. Everyone enjoyed their choice of food which were amply proportioned. We can understand why the new menu is less extensive (at a lower price) as a starter followed by a main after pastries proved too much for most guests.We were asked when we would like the champagne to be served and opted for the end so that we could make our toasts. All in all it was a most wonderful, unhurried occasion with quality fresh cooked food and excellent personal service. Throughout the whole process from initial booking to actually attending us on the day, Laura Ryder has done an excellent job. Her customer relations service is one of the best I have experienced in my 82 years. It is certainly somewhere we shall consider for our 70th anniversary in 10 years time (lol) - just being positive!

Beautiful club, and there food is amazing excellent quality

A great variety of holes providing a good test for all handicaps

Came here as a 3 ball and a 2 ball. What a wonderful experience all round. Course was absolutely stunning, back 9 is a test. 10/10 for me and in my top 5 courses I've ever played. The great weather we had may influence that rating but from tee to green the course was immaculate. Very welcoming culture from staff and members as well which is an added bonus. Thanks for having us Chesterfield GC. We shall see you again.

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.

Our Society recently had a golf day at Chapel en le frith Golf Club and were overwhelmed with how great an experience it was. Breakfast, Diner and Tea all included in the price, coffee on arrival, one 18 hole round and a 9 hole round. The club captain came in to greet us even though he was injured and gave us some good information on the course. The course is amazingly maintained, Tee Boxes, Fairways and greens are all really well maintained and look great, the views from the course are breath-taking. Fairways are very open however the course is very challenging and will test your golf skill. Buggy hire is exceptionally reasonably priced. the food was prepared really well and tasted great. the whole group couldn't find a single complaint throughout the whole course. 10/10 - Hope to see you all again soon !

Held my Dad's wake at the golf club on Monday 3rd February, couldn't fault it had the hot sandwiches and chips, they were fantastic great quality meat on the sandwiches and plenty of it, cakes were delicious. Upstairs room was great. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, would definitely recommend.

Brilliant brilliant course! It’s hard work providing great views on a golf course without it being too hilly, and these guys nail this! Green like glass, fairways neatly mown, good signage with bins and ball/club cleaners on every tee box! We’ll be returning 👍

Met a. Old friend so decided to book a course half way for both of us roughly 30 mile away ,and what a good choice great course very testing for high handicappers, lovely views and good club house too with friendly staff, definitely book again when in the area

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)

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!

Lovely course in the hills beyond Castleton. A good test of golf with stunning views. Greens were in fantastic condition considering how early in the season we played. Memberswe met and staff were very friendly.

Pro , bar staff , food were exemplary. Always a pleasure to visit. Early summer highlighting the flora. Great course condition 👌.

Went for afternoon tea could not fault it best one we have ever had. Food was very tasty and well presented, professional friendly staff. Great venue Dovecote restaurant will definitely be going again.

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 ☺️

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.
