Best Golf Courses in Sawley, Derbyshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

The is one of the best courses in Nottinghamshire if not Uk. My son was having junior coaching lessons so I tried out the food and it was amazing thank you. I would love to play the course but the weather was evil. It’s definitely on my bucket list!

One of the best kept courses in the midlands, neat and tidy tee boxes,fast running fairways, excellent green's.

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely stunning place - course and greens were in amazing condition, pro shop and club house staff were very welcoming and the scenery whilst you play is glorious. It's a tough track where the heather will punish wayward shots, but not overly long so (if only I could putt!) birdie opportunities are there to be had.

Love it, John V changed my life! Making golf seem simple and coaching someone un gifted like me! The course, food are amazing. The back 9 is epic! Pay the money and go. Oh try the home cooks chips and say hello to the very friendly staff.

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.

Fairways at Chevin Golf Club had the most delicious steak pie I have ever had. It had chunky beef pieces covered in thick, rich gravy. This is definitely a place for pie!

A very picturesque course and only a little hilly. Reasonably priced golf and refreshments with great, friendly staff. Definitely recommend a visit.

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

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.

Played at Stanton on the Wolds in the English Counties Championship in Oct, the only word to describe the experience was outstanding, the clubhouse is traditional with a great atmosphere, the staff friendly and welcoming, with nothing being to much trouble, food was excellent. Now for the course, the layout is parkland, tight fairways but fair, the greens are the best I have ever played on in my 30+ years of playing top courses. If you are thinking of visiting Stanton on the Wolds GC....DO.... you will love it.

Beautiful course, very well looked after. Great setting and views. Greens are excellent, manicured fairways. Some parts of the rough are punishing!!!! I’ll just have to learn to drive straighter . Would definitely go back

I was guest at a friend's wedding reception here and all I can say is the scenery is amazing.. perfect for outdoor pictures. Inside has a spacious bar area and sitting area which can be transformed very quickly into a dance floor. Would highly recommend for a wedding reception.

Great place for a party, friendly staff, good for a golf match Card only! No cash, Upstairs bar had no lager so the staff had to run downstairs to facilitate, they did so with smiles.

The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club, particularly the Championship course, offers a great golfing experience that’s hard to fault. The layout is decent and keeps you engaged, with a mix of challenging and forgiving holes that make it enjoyable for a wide range of golfers. While it might not be the most dramatic course you’ll play, it’s well-maintained and provides a solid round. One of the highlights is the clubhouse, which has a fantastic buzz to it. Even midweek during the summer, it’s busy and full of energy, which adds to the welcoming and lively atmosphere. The staff are friendly, and it’s a great spot to grab a drink or a bite after your round. Overall, The Nottinghamshire’s Championship course is a solid choice for a day out, with its engaging layout and vibrant clubhouse making it a great all-around experience. It’s just shy of perfect, but still well worth a visit!

Nice to finally play a full 18 holes of golf after all the rain we have had. It's a lovely course in fantastic shape, greens nice and fast, coffee and a bacon cob,spot on!

A gourmet feast to tantalise the taste buds which doesnt break the bank. Attended the Gourmet Night with Paul and Ali Leary and it exceeded expectations, overall nobody in my party had a bad word to say. The food was brilliant and well presented, all five courses really hit the spot but for me the two stand out dishes were the starter of duck and the main of beef. Will definitely be looking to attend another of these events in the future.

I've recently become a member of Lingdale and i am happy to admit it is the best golf club I have played at in the past 10 years. The course is in great condition with the amazing scenery making it a lovely place to play golf. Great value for money and impeccable staff and service!!!

Lingdale Golf Club, nestled in the picturesque Charnwood Forest, offers a memorable golfing experience. The course's design is both challenging and engaging, with the front nine featuring undulating terrain and tree-lined fairways that require strategic play. The back nine presents elevation changes and well-placed hazards, keeping golfers on their toes throughout the round. While the club's secluded location provides a tranquil setting, it does come with the drawback of limited mobile phone reception. This can be a minor inconvenience for those needing to stay connected. On the plus side, the clubhouse serves excellent food, making it a great spot to relax after a round. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Overall, Lingdale Golf Club is a delightful course that offers a unique and enjoyable round of golf. Its thoughtful design and quality amenities make it well worth a visit.

Friendly, helpful staff. Crazy golf facility looking a little tired, but still a good bit of family fun (plus a free pumpkin each, which was a nice bonus). Eating in the clubhouse was decent value.

Rating: 5 / 5

Course was in great condition for my first full game of the year. A challenging back nine both physically and skill. Only downside was parking on the day I played, was very busy, otherwise all was excellent. Bacon and sausage cob and a cuppa beforehand, a pint afterwards in the very nice bar. Will make the effort to go back and try the range which looked well presented with targets and trackman.

Went on the pirates crazy golf. The young girl on the till was absolutely lovely, the way she spoke so naturally happy, chatty and fun personality. Makes such a difference to an experience when you get greeted in such a way. Had a brilliant time and wished it went on for longer like 23 holes. That’s maybe something they could consider doing… Parking was very busy but also very good as lots of extra spaces. It was an immaculately clean nicely thought out course, even the net poles to retrieve ball out the water. It was well worth the price. Will certainly be going back again..

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 ☺️

Beautiful place. My sister viewed here for a potential wedding venue. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are friendly and the coffee is the best tasting coffee I’ve ever tasted. Just wow. I will be back to eat.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent course & practice facilities. Food was good and drinks reasonably priced, staff were very accomodating One of the nicest courses I have played, will be looking to come back again next year.

I played Coxmoor in September 2023. The course was in fantastic condition. Located in the "Golden Triangle" of Coxmoor G.C, Hollinwell G.C and Sherwood Forest G.C in the heart of Nottinghamshire's Sherwood Forest. The views are stunning the holes are all individual with there own challengers with and the 18th has possibly the longest narrowest green in the county. The high quality a true Heathland course with heather, gorse, broom and grasses is reflected in the green fee but value for money it is well worth it. The club house has a very nice balcony that overlooks the 1st tee and 18th green so you can have refreshment and see how others get on. Practice facilities are very good with PXG having a demo day when I was there. The rating I give are always based on value for money for the quality of course condition, practice facilities, club house facilities including locker room changing/shower, food & drink, car parking.

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely fantastic course, even for time of year it was in great condition. Some really challenging holes, great practice facilities, lovely staff in the bar/restaurant. Can’t wait to visit again
