Upstairs room was great. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, would definitely recommend.

Our 8 man society played on 22/06. Really warm welcome by the lady in the golf shop, just the perfect introduction to the golf club. The course itself was challenging, but well kept and the greens ran fast and true. Bar staff equally professional for the post round inquest! We had a lovely day and would definitely return.

I've been a member here for a number of years now. I may be a little bit biased, but I think that it is a wonderful course. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the High Peak ,and fancying a knock.

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

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.

Excellent Experience at Matlock Golf Course I recently had the pleasure of playing at Matlock Golf Course, and it was a fantastic experience. The course is in great condition, deceptively looking easy but offering plenty of challenges for all skill levels. Every hole had its unique set of obstacles, keeping the round exciting and engaging. The facilities were top-notch, and the food was excellent, making it a well-rounded day out. A special mention to the professional, Christian Goodman, who was incredibly helpful and offered some valuable tips that improved our round. I highly recommend this course to any golfer!

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

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

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!

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.

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.

We were there for the week doing a course which was held in the function area. Just wanted to say thanks for the delicious food and Helen who looked after us.

Rating: 5 / 5

Course in wonderful condition. Very difficult in places - lots of hazards including water, slopes and some narrow fairways. Not recommended for high handicap golfers like myself. Will definitely return - once my game has improved.

First time on the course, played the front 9. Really nice course to play and friendly staff too.

A very interesting course! For the big hitters some holes may be a little short, but nevertheless just another chance for a birdie! I would definitely go back.

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

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).

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.

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.

Excellent little gem of a course. I have played many courses in the Derbyshire area and this is easily the best maintained. The greens are like carpets and the fairways are in exceptional condition. Will definitely be back

Been a member here for 25years. The coarse is tight with small greens and not long.Visitors usually find it difficult to play to their handicaps. Five years on its still tough here after the remodeling of holes.The good thing is the new Steward and his wife are ace and so is their Sunday lunches. Give it a go you'll not regret it.🥘It's got tougher with the aging process.,🧑‍🦯

Went for a carvery as part of a group, it wasn't our first and it won't be our last. The staff are brilliant, the atmosphere equally so, the food is top notch and the drinks also. I can't praise the stewards too much. We can't make the December carvery but will be there January, February and so on. We'll worth a visit but the Carvery needs to be pre booked.

A quaint club next to Uttoxeter racecourse that is very testing and a great opportunity to test your skills. We visited as a society for the day and to have the club president speak to us and advise us about the course before we set out was something we haven't seen often and was very much appreciated by all. Absolute not notch for a welcome and introduction and the staff were also superb and went out of their way to ensure we felt comfortable and welcome. The members very happy to speak with us at length both before and after we had played and I cannot thank all highly enough. The course itself was in amazing condition and makes you think about how you play as opposed to just hammering a driver on every hole. It will test you because there are a few blind holes and it does undulate. There are also a few cross over holes which makes you think about what you are doing and for us only increased the concentration level. It will test the best and is well worth visiting. If you do, then listen to the free advice given from staff and mebers as each hole played exactly as predicted. In regards to price it's superb value for money so I highly recommend that you give this club a whirl. Feedback from our society was extremely high and we will be visiting again. In fact we are looking to tie in a trip where we golf am and watch the races in the afternoon. Thank you very much Uttoxeter from The Swan Golf Society (Brewood)

A lovely challenging course situated adjacent to the racecourse. Nice clubhouse serving good food. Everybody very friendly. Will definitely be returning for another game.

Rating: 4 / 5

Lovely course in great nick, some challenging holes (for this 26 hcp at least!)with blind tee shots and lots of elevation changes. A few holes cross each other which means it’s a course where you must keep your wits about you but it’s hard to think there’s a better course round here to play for £20. Recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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!
