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!

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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!

1st time I’ve been here for a bit, TopTracer good and nice bar, got a height barrier on car park so phone pro shop on arrival

Rating: 5 / 5

Well lit and the tracer system is great, evening after dark with very little missed by the cameras. Software support is good, too, with a wide range of options to help improve all aspects of your game. 100 balls for £11 shoukd keep you busy for an hour!

Fantastic facility for all levels of golfers. Fantastic driving range with Trackman facility. Great course and some stunning holes. Can't wait to come back 👌 Hole 8 (pictured) and 17 are my favourite 👍

Rating: 4 / 5

Excellent driving range with Top tracer tech. Having all year round greens, with no winter greens, has it's positives and negatives. I hate winter greens, so being able to play the full course is a significant bonus. However, the quality of the greens, and fairway, is not fantastic. Drainage is understandably a challenge given the course's location. In wet winter months, expect to be very muddy when you finish

Nice layout but it is a course that will test your golfing brain as well as your swing. Nice club with bar and food, and plenty of room to sit outside. Putting green and golf range. Plenty of parking space. The natives were friendly as well.

Well this place just keeps getting better every visit ! The off course facilities are tremendously clean and tidy, from the club house bar and pro shop to the locker room and range all with really friendly staff. As for the course, the pride the team have in keeping things neat and tidy continue. I've now played it three times over the years and today was a total pleasure. Immaculate practice putting green through to cross cut greens ! The tee boxes and fairways were better than most greens we’ve played this year on other course which are considerably more expensive. We will be back really soon keep up the good work team 👍🏼

What a great course, I took my son for his first ever full golf game (James 33) and it was so forgiving (but still a challenge) that he wants to play again. The course was very well kept and the greens (once they are settled) will be great to play on. The staff were very friendly and the shop Pro was welcoming and helpful. All in all I do recommend this course and all those who work there.

Played the 9 hole academy course. Lovely course for beginners. Fairways not bad except 4th hole could do with a cut (although is a Par 3 so should be hitting green😂). Greens could do with a little work but still playable! Enjoyed it and will be back

Rating: 5 / 5

Very nice course views amazing. If your going it's £24 a game as I was there yesterday green's have just been sanded and seeded so may be a few more weeks before they are back to normal but the fairways are mint. Definitely going again in a couple of weeks might even get my membership I enjoyed that much.

Superb, clean and spacious driving range. The mirrors were helpful to analyse posture before a swing too.

One of the most stunning golf courses i have ever played on - beautiful undulating course set in the grounds of a medieval abbey 😍😍. The course itself is actually very challenging as it has big peaks and troughs in the land. It is quite hilly and there are very long holes which are still par 4 and 3 and also challenges like water hazards etc! Loved the challenge. The clubhouse was lovely and so nice to sit and have a pint after a round of golf. Beautiful awe inspiring place for a townie like me and a big clubhouse with a shop and everything. Great course and very friendly people playing too - not like other snotty golf courses!

Always enjoy playing here, great staff, friendly and knowledgeable. For a council run course, Beauchief is always in lovely condition and despite it's short distance, offers plenty of challenge for golfers.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lots of interesting holes especially on the back nine,greens very good condition.Excellent value for money,was even greeted by the owner upon arrival in the car park,giving me a detailed induction of course where else would you get this kind of service. Beats all kind of corporate golf courses with this personal touch, looking forward to my next visit.

Fab place to walk dogs, and plenty to do for kids

This place is magical. I grew up playing this course. I'd rather play this than any other course in the world and I have played some of the so called best. Filled with nostalgia. A great course that can reward your risky shots or punish you on a bad day. End of Aug 23 was in great condition.

I last played here as a 13 year old very keen beginner golfer with my Dad. It was 1974. Abba just won Eurovision song contest with Waterloo!! 46 years later (today) I played it again! A lot wiser though, and certainly far, far better at golf. Lol. What a beautiful, beautiful course. Every hole was so picturesque. I photographed the 8th, shown here. A very challenging course for experts and beginners alike. Pro very friendly and a very talented golfer. Everybody we met were laid back and relaxed. One of my major issues with any golf course over the last 4 decades has been the first hole. If it's tight and tree lined the queues can build up on the first tee as golfers look for their balls. Not here though. Plenty of space to hit into to start your round. Golfers who do wait are well back from the tee, towards the clubhouse. So a very spacious first hole and tee area. Looking forward to play it again. Over the years I have played many, many courses at home and overseas in many championships. Many amazing courses, but this can hold its own with all of them. Take my advice...go play it. I certainly won't wait another 46 years to play it again! Be 105 then, so may be a tad difficult or impossible I'll be back after covid 19 lockdown, before old age grabs me! Fantastic course.

Winter golf and the only course open, great value, good to get out and keep swinging a club! Course looks like it nice but played on a wet day as such didn’t get to play the course at its best. Chris in the Pro shop was super friendly and welcoming. He also give good advice on where to get some golf trousers, thank you
