Played here for my birthday in October 2024 and had a great time. The course is great and very scenic. In addition, my dad was playing golf for the first time since an operation and the staff in pro shop and bar were very helpful. He's now keen to get out and play again thanks to a good to a good experience here.

Not the longest course but definitely has some challenging holes and tricky greens to navigate. The course is set in beautiful countryside with panoramic views and has been maintained to a very high standard. The greens are superb and some of the best I've ever played on.

Fantastic course played in heavy winds was challenging but enjoyable will return and play when less windy someday some

Playing of mats has helped preserve good fairways. Although because it’s not flat course this can also be tricky with borrowed mats. Greens were decent but not overly quick and a bit long - it is December after all so can be forgiven. Good layout and picturesque par 3s. Would love to play in its peak during the summer

Great course, considering all the rain we have had, in great condition, great credit to grounds staff. Lovely inside clubhouse made to feel very welcome.

First and foremost the staff and members of the club welcome you with open arms and are very hospitable!! This is followed up by the best course I have played all year and one of the best I have ever played!!! Work is being carried out on some of the tee boxes and I would love to come back and play it when these are completed. The fairways are immaculate and the greens for October are in amazing condition! There are some very tough and challenging holes that really test your game. I found the greens to be very challenging to hit and anything that misses the green really tests your short game. If you enjoy playing different courses this course has to be added to your list!!!!

Wow. What a course. Great holes, very fast greens, incredibly well-kept all round. Really hard course but definitely a test I will be attempting again

This was a golf course that I was looking forward to playing but unfortunately I was mentally not fit to play , I went there because I just wanted to play the course and I enjoyed the course but could not play my game as I was not in the right mental mind set . I will recommend this course as I have always enjoyed technical golf courses and this was just the type for me and the way it was laid out. If you are in Sheffield and want to be challenged play this course you will be pleased .

We are from Northern Ireland and touring Peak District. We stumbled on this. If you want great views of Bakewell town and surrounding area, combined with a hilly walk in the Dales while playing a game of golf on a super wee reasonably priced course, this is the place for you. A hidden gem. Also, if you haven’t eaten there you really, really should … it is amazing and also very, very reasonable! Finally, the staff are so friendly. If it was my local I wouldn’t go anywhere else. A great memory made. Thank you.

Turned up on spec and only wanted to play 9 holes. " It's cheap anyway, but you have to pay for 18, £20" I was told. Quick look on the web and we booked via a 3rd party website for £10.99 each. Go figure! Nice undulating course with some challenges. It's only 9 holes so you go round twice if playing 18, with different tee offs. I will return for an 18 soon

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Set on the hill overlooking Bakewell and the Wye valley below. Catch it on a sunny afternoon for alfresco dining in stunning sorroundings. Note, it is open to non golf club members but booking advised.

My favourite place in the area!! This is a quality course with such a variety of excellent holes. The views you have of the Peak District in the distance are amazing. The greens were in great condition as were the tees and fairways. This will be a place I always come back too!!

Played here for the first time today with my brother, the course, the facilities, the food and especially the staff were unreal. Couldn’t recommend this course enough, we’ve had some bad weather recently and the fairways/greens are in superb condition, credit to the green keepers. Will 100% be returning!

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!

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

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

Incredible Wedding venue! ✨️ All the staff went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. The grounds are absolutely stunning. The Canapés that were served after the ceremony were delicious. One of our guests said that the cheesecake was the best he'd ever had!. The cottage we stayed in that evening had a cosy rustic feel, with beams, stone walls ect. Extremely romantic. We would highly recommend booking your Wedding here. Huge thanks to Laura and all the team at Horsley Lodge. Mr and Mrs Dickens x

Visited the Golf Club as a friend is a member and we were booked in for the charity quiz. A great time was had by everyone, the food was definitely up to scratch and the Jaipur went down a treat, can’t comment on the course though!

Always a pleasure to play such a wonderful track...always in fantastic condition...the seniors competition we play in is run superbly and not only one of the friendliest clubs around but also a treat to catch up with friends

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.

Great golf course with very friendly members and staff, fantastic views

Rating: 4 / 5

It’s a great course but be warned it’s tough!! You have to be straight off the tee, if not the trees will prevent you making any head way towards the green. It’s playable all year round with excellent drainage. It maybe tough but it’s fun and will really challenge your game. Course management is key.

;Barry, it’s really really helpful excellent at finding you the right swing if you have lessons. The course is definitely not a stand-up and whack course, you do have to plot yourself around which I think improves your game. Awesome breakfast as well.

Rating: 4 / 5

Really good course, needs a bit of love. Staff friendly, want to play again when not on temps. To be fair didn’t pay a lot as on temps, so no issues from me.

Great to hit a few golf balls, it's got a great little bar and a function room. But it's nice and relaxed to go in the evening for a little bit. Make sure to take your sunglasses if its bright. The sun sets right in front of you which makes it difficult.

Super nice staff and owner. Young person friendly. Warm, relaxed atmosphere.

I had a fantastic first-hand experience at Moorview Golf Centre and will definitely be going again! The facilities are top-notch, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or a beginner like me, this place has everything you need for a great day out. The driving range was well-maintained, and the course itself was challenging yet enjoyable. Overall, it was a brilliant experience, and I can't recommend it enough. Looking forward to my next visit!

Great golf range. Turn up and buy as many golf balls as you want and off you go. There is a bar for drinks and snacks, and a little putting area. Lessons are available on request.
