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

Four of us played today and had a fabulous time ! The staff were excellent as was the course and also our meals before and after our round ! Many thanks to Lynn, Colin and the club professional who were all very pleasant and helpful. We hope to return in warmer times but I'm sure with the same warm welcome ! Many thanks, Colin , Paul, Danny and Nathan .

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.

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.

Held my 70th Birthday Lunch there on Sunday 2nd March. There were 15 of us (obviously we pre booked) including my two youngest grandchildren. The unanimous vote was, that that was the best carvery meal we've ever had. Absolutely delicious, freshly cooked, and presented by the very friendly chef. Who went the extra mile to cook a beautiful veggie meal for one of us and chicken nuggets for the wee ones. Excellent value for money. Heartily recommended. We'll definitely eat there again.

Fantastic course and in a great condition for the time of year. Pro shop even provided a cart at short notice which was superb. Greens and tee boxes are well presented and bunkers are stone free. Fairways were pristine and it was great to play a course where the long rough is a penalty, but possible to play from. Day wrapped up with a pint in the clubhouse, which has a very old school function room feel (in a good way), ended in a great visit for two soft southerners on a weekend away.

Enjoyed a Carvery and Beer whilst watch the Cup final today. The food was fantastic and good value for money. Friendly service with a smile too. Thank you.

Great place to play golf ⛳ Nice flat course that gives you value for your shots - but beware of the trees 🌳 Visited as part of a society & the hospitality & pie 🥧 & chips were great 👍

Beautiful, mature woodland course. The greens were just coming into their best & were fast. Some tricky treeline fairways. The course has two par three holes known as 'The quarry', which are stunning. The clubhouse has a bar & and a small function room. Lovely surrounding countryside.

Had a great breakfast here with family after my father's funeral. It was his club for 40 years and it seemed appropriate. Food was great. Nice place. Good staff. Great service.

Played a society day at Erewash Valley Golf Club excellent day out. Staff and members friendly and welcoming. Played mid July during the heat wave, course in good nick, very challenging course with a variety of holes, especially Valley par 3's (4+5). Well worth a visit and return

Great course, facilties, bar, food, beer, and all reasonably priced. Love the back to back 5s to start, then to follow that Holes 4 and 5 are spectacular back to back 3s. Would highly recommend.

Lovely local course great staff and facilities. Also a perfect place for people of all levels

Lovely little course which is cheap and cheerful. Green keepers were out in force this morning at 9am tending to the greens. It’s not perfect, but the atmosphere is great and “fun golf” with my boys is always a laugh.

Seems to be a very good atmosphere, all round. But no menus at the moment 🥪🥗🌯🍰🍪

A huge thank you once again to Steve and Teresa for a fabulous night. The food is always first class. Twice a year we hold our bowling club functions at the golf club. Nothing is ever too much trouble for these people. I can't thank them enough. We'll see you once again in March

So I have officially been here twice now not for the golf but for the food and service absolutely 1000/10, 5star, the food is always so amazing and tasty and the service is brilliant so friendly honestly makes you feel like your with family. When I now think of Sunday lunch this is my first choice x

Gorgeous little course, tight and tricky. Staff are amazing and food great

Went for a carvery as part of a group, it wasn't our first and it won't be our last. The staff are brilliant, the atmosphere equally so, the food is top notch and the drinks also. I can't praise the stewards too much. We can't make the December carvery but will be there January, February and so on. We'll worth a visit but the Carvery needs to be pre booked.

Great course for beginners to intermediates at the sport good course lay out with a decent amount of obstacles and undulating ground to navigate staff really friendly and welcoming definitely will go again soon.

Played today, course in good shape despite mid winter. Winter tees but all greens apart from 8th at the bottom of the hill which was a little soggy were in very good condition. Very well looked after, must better state than many surrounding courses costing 3 times the price. Always enjoy a stroll round to blow out the cobwebs.

Excellent little gem of a course. I have played many courses in the Derbyshire area and this is easily the best maintained. The greens are like carpets and the fairways are in exceptional condition. Will definitely be back

I played here a couple of days ago, and the course was excellent, a real hidden gem. The condition of the course was superb, and everyone involved with the course was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Played in their Senior Men's 4BBB Open and must be one of the best Golf Courses in the Midlands. All of the Tees, Fairways, Bunkers and especially the Greens, were in excellent condition. Really helpful in the Pro-Shop and also the Bar / Restaurant, with good 'home cooked' food. Back later in the year for their Mixed Open.

Cant fault it. Really busy day (bank holiday in the summer) but everything was moving. Food and a drink was

Willesley Park Golf Club was chosen to be a Captains away day. A breakfast starter before our round of golf was first class. The golf course was in good condition and certainly makes you think. Highly recommended for an away day.

Love playing derby golf club its a real good challenge on the front 9 and a bit easier on the back 9

Good local golf club reasonable rates and hire of equipment available there is a club we’re drinks and food are available

Excellent morning, good round of golf, nice people. Finished with a breakfast cob and a cup of tea, back again next Tuesday.

Lovely food. I had a Mediterranean veg Wellington, which was well cooked and very tasty. Wife had liver and onions, again well cooked and presented, just couldn't eat it all. We've never been disappointed with the food here. Top marks to the chefs. Also great surroundings.
