The Best Golf Courses in Milford, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Great local golf course. Played for first time after hearing great reviews. Great condition bet its gorgeous in Summer can't wait to play here again. Very friendly around clubhouse staff and owners very welcoming. Practice area Great. Even played decent which is a bonus !

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!

Fancied trying somewhere new for lunch in the Matlock area, so popped in and ended up joining the Golf Club with my son ! We were made to feel so welcome by Fame the owner, and by Liz and Darcy. My son is Aspergers but was made to feel so at home. Can't wait to get on the first tee. Looks a fab course. Can highly recommend watching the mini series on Youtube Changing the "Business of Golf" which charts the amazing story of Fame and how Stanedge has been reborn. A real labour of love !

Dinner dance on a Saturday evening food excellent as always, good dj, nice dance floor and fairly well priced wine. Always friendly and professional staff.

We had a family birthday in meal, there were 19 of us. The room is okay if a little bare with not much atmosphere. The view out across the golf course was good. The menu was good with everybody finding things they liked, there were plenty of gluten free options for those that needed them. The quality of the food was good across all 3 courses and nit to expensive. 2 courses for £17 3 courses for £22. There is no bar in the dining room, so you had to go to the bar for them. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a pleasant place to eat as a large group.

Apart from being a very fine course, due credit must be paid to the Head Professional Tim Coxon. Probably the finest in the East Midlands. Outstanding service.

Lovely course , for the amount of rain we've had was it was dry all round. Greens were small but tricky which is a nice challenge. Lads in the society rated it up there

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 as a green fee whilst on holiday. Fantastic course with lots of interesting holes and great views. Good condition bearing in mind the amount of rain this year. The price was brilliant for the standard of the course. We played late afternoon and had a reduced fee. Definitely will play again.

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.

I have had the pleasure of working behind the scenes (used to be an independent wedding photographer (pre covid) and now as a regular customer. As a customer I will review first. We have had many meals here and each time the food has been beautiful, the service excellent and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is always perfect whether it is a romantic meal or a catch up with friends. It really is a lovely place to relax. Today we attended the wreath making workshop, we all had a fabulous day and the 2 course meal was very nice. It was well worth the money. They make the place so festive too. I have serious light envy every Christmas! If you are thinking of having your wedding here then you are in for a very special treat. The staff put in so much work behind the scenes to make your day perfect, the wedding coordinators go above and beyond to make everything so special for you. They work with your photographers so you can get the best photos, they are polite and helpful too. This was one of our favourite venues to work at. The views are just stunning too! One of the things I do love about the place is that you even see the owners muck in with the hard work, they don't just leave it to the staff like most places do. Honestly give this place a try you will not be disappointed

Meal for 7 taken in Roosters Restaurant on Christmas Eve. Everyone had hot, tasty, freshly prepared food. The staff have never let us down so far on Christmas Eve lunch, so we'll keep going as long as they're open.

We had our wedding at Morley Hayes. We have nothing but plenty of praise for them and our guests were impressed by the quality of the service. There was a lot of attention to detail and we felt looked after throughout the process and on the day. The food was amazing. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. We felt very special. Thank you!!

This year we went to the Christmas Santa Breakfast and Santa’s family lunch. Both experiences were just perfect! Jane went above and beyond to make sure everybody was happy on both occasions. The food was delicious, atmosphere perfect, clean and well presented. Santa was great and the gifts were of a high standard. I would highly recommend these events and huge well done to Jane and her team. Five stars to you all! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic. Came for the opening of the new farmhouse kitchen and it was fabulous. The food was delicious, prompt and hot. The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. This is going to be one hard spot to beat. Thanks for everything, Olli

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

Excellent course. Not the longest in the world, but technical with sloped fairways. The technically gifted will have a significant reward. Nice clubhouse with friendly staff.

Billed as a very welcoming course, and guess what? It really is! Enjoyable autumnal round, members very welcoming, super lunch in the bar, recommend.

We play a lot of open competitions a year and two of the Lad's had never played Chevin before so I booked us into an open. The day from start to finish was second to none.We were made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff from the club house to the well stocked Pro shop then a starter that was a credit to the club. We had a top notch breakfast then a round on one of the very best courses we have played this year. Fairways were just like walking on carpet complemented by true greens that posed some issues to work out the line in short a top course. I would very strongly recommend this class golf club.

We are always welcomed with a smiley face. Course in very good condition even after 2 days of torrential rain. Good food and choice of drinks. Thanks from the players from Burton Golf Club

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.

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 ☺️

Went for afternoon tea could not fault it best one we have ever had. Food was very tasty and well presented, professional friendly staff. Great venue Dovecote restaurant will definitely be going again.

Love playing here and apart from the bunkers needing a bit of servicing the course is in good condition.glad to see they're putting more drainage in.just slightly annoying that 18 hole players cross over 12 hole players. We need a bigger course.

I kept driving past thinking you had to be a member, dropped in on the off chance, staff were friendly and accomodating, food yum Are you able to book a table If yes .. how ? Thanjs

lovely challenging course and Acorn’s Cafe provides an amazing service really friendly and super quality food definitely recommend and worth a visit

Beautiful little course. You play 12 holes then 13 to 18 are played over some of the same holes. Just rocked up and paid £20 for 1-12. Short but challenging holes. Friendly, helpful staff.
