Best Golf Courses in Middle handley, Derbyshire (2025)

Rating: 4 / 5

As you would expect from a course located in Derbyshire Peak district it's not flat far from it but the track is approaching outstanding both from a golf point of view and a scenic. We were fortunate that the weather was plesant but if the rain came in then it would be a VERY difficult course. We were made extremely welcome and the club house was good. I have to mention the flapjack's that were home made they were just unbelievable a MUST try. If you do have mobility issues then I would certainly recommend a buggy it is difficult I know as I have a iffy knee. Negatives not about the course but the area attracts a lot of visitors so on narrow roads cars are an issue BUT not as much as cyclists who make traveling time a lot longer so that is something to take into consideration when planning your journey.

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!

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)

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.

Played early morning earlier this week. The pro and greens staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. They were all so proud to showcase their course and for good reason! The front 9 was out of this world with unbelievable holes in every day, cannot wait to come back!

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

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

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.

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!

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

Good first impression, excellent tee boxes, didn't see any rubbish around the course a well looked after course.

Rating: 5 / 5

;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

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic experience today at the moorview golf centre. I was optimistically trying to find a few clubs for my 2 and 3 year old kids. Lee very kindly found time to shorten one of their drivers for me and also found an iron which hopefully will encourage them to want to get into golf. Very much appreciated, thanks again.

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

Course is challenging enough for golfers of all abilities (9 hole - Par 35), and is well maintained. Support facilities are a little basic, but the course as a whole offers a cost-effective option to nomadic golfers, like me. I will definitely return!

Been to the range a few times and went around the course for the first time the other day. Really pleased, course and greens in great condition, staff always helpful and friendly.

Rating: 5 / 5

The course is in absolute top condition, hats off to Neil and all ground staff, greens are exceptional unlike tapton and the social distancing is adhered to well, the only issue is that there are still too many people not repairing pitch Mark's otherwise I can't fault the course, well done all, 5 stars

Friendly and helpful atmosphere, very hospitable. Well kept course, fairly hilly and the best way to see Bakewell. Book online and collect scorecard from the glass case by the boot cleaner. Birdie on the 8th!

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.

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

Just attended a birthday celebration. Pleasant room with a bar (card only payment) and view of course. The buffet was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff.

The efforts of the new Course Manager appointed in August 2022 are now easily visible as the dire weather early this year fades to a memory. Well worth reacquaintance if you haven't visited for a while. Now in February 2025 the latest bunker renewal is complete. Warmth and bedding in of the new turf can't come quick enough for this golfer.

Rating: 4 / 5

Absolutely beautiful Course. Stunning view from the clubhouse. Very friendly and welcoming members. Made us feel at home. Knowledgeable Pro. Only downside to me is the size of the stones in the bunkers. They are quiet big some of them. Thank god you are allowed to move them now. Overall well worth the time. Lovely day out

Recognised as one of the district's finest, Abbeydale provides a memorable golfing experience for players of all handicaps and retains some of the best views of the Derbyshire countryside to be seen anywhere from Sheffield. The course is renowned for its beautifully manicured appearance, undulating greens and beautiful views and surroundings. In recent years the course has benefitted from the installation of a new fairway drainage system, allowing play when other courses have been closed in adverse weather conditions. Set in the beautiful Beauchief Estate, the course was designed by the famous architect Herbert Fowler, also renowned for other such designs as Walton Heath and The Berkshire. Fowler's design ethos of strategy and reward are apparent.

Only visited the bar and event space. Sadly ran out of vodka 15 minutes into an organised event which is a poor show. Decent place, a little tired in places but nothing too serious.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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!!!!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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!
