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 ☺️

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.

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!

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

Played a society day at Erewash Valley Golf Club excellent day out. Staff and members friendly and welcoming. Played mid July during the heat wave, course in good nick, very challenging course with a variety of holes, especially Valley par 3's (4+5). Well worth a visit and return

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.,🧑‍🦯

I went here for a wake following my Uncles funeral. My cousin requested a gluten free option for me in advance. I was given a big plate of sandwiches to myself! They were lovely as was the remainder or the food. The staff were brilliant, the lady behind the bar was very friendly and the female chef came to me and explained what else I could eat that was gluten free.

Great setup, super friendly bar staff and excellent pub food. The course is a gem with excellent greens. 100% worth a visit. Huge practice area.

Have recently had a family wake here and cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are amazing and more than happy to accommodate special requests such as gluten free food, use of a large screen to display photos and a memory table. Everyone that attended the wake commented on the quality, amount and presentation of the food. We were given disposable trays to take away as there was so much food. We cannot thank the whole team enough. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you so much, we appreciate the time and effort you made for us 💐

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

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.

This is a very friendly par 3 full 18 hole golf course. The clubhouse is excellent. Well worth a visit.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.
