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

Steves group lessons are relaxed, friendly and a supportive environment to learn in having fun and taking the stress out of developing golf skills. Steve is a super calm teacher and has loads of patience.

Thanks so much Steve - in 30 minutes you got my swing back on track, restoring my confidence and love of the game. You are a wizard, thankyou.

Had my first lesson 2 weeks ago with Steve. Very informative with guidance and videos. Within 2 weeks my irons improved dramatically hitting straight shots and gaining parts were I didn't used to make. Just had my second lesson again very informative. The best thing is Steve doesn't overload you with too much information as if he had given me all the changes in one I would have struggled to adapt. Certainly worth the lessons and definitely better in 30 minute sessions.

Fantastic course played in heavy winds was challenging but enjoyable will return and play when less windy someday some

Playing of mats has helped preserve good fairways. Although because it’s not flat course this can also be tricky with borrowed mats. Greens were decent but not overly quick and a bit long - it is December after all so can be forgiven. Good layout and picturesque par 3s. Would love to play in its peak during the summer

Not the longest course but definitely has some challenging holes and tricky greens to navigate. The course is set in beautiful countryside with panoramic views and has been maintained to a very high standard. The greens are superb and some of the best I've ever played on.

Absolute class. My friend and I played on a glorious Sunday afternoon in October, and it was perfect. I knew about the reputation of this course as ‘the inspiration for Augusta’ and it does deliver. Dr Alastair McKenzie knew what he was doing. Amazing views from all corners of the course and despite the overall elevation, because the holes are carefully crafted into the tables of the terrain, it is a surprisingly good walk. The staff (shoutout to assistant pro, Liam) are super helpful and make you feel very welcome. Great hospitality in the clubhouse and you can enjoy watching players come in with a cold pint on the terrace. Cannot recommend highly enough and can’t wait to return next year. Proper golf course!

Loveliest staff! Gorgeous views and great food. There is a stairlift and accessible toilet too❤️

Our Society recently had a golf day at Chapel en le frith Golf Club and were overwhelmed with how great an experience it was. Breakfast, Diner and Tea all included in the price, coffee on arrival, one 18 hole round and a 9 hole round. The club captain came in to greet us even though he was injured and gave us some good information on the course. The course is amazingly maintained, Tee Boxes, Fairways and greens are all really well maintained and look great, the views from the course are breath-taking. Fairways are very open however the course is very challenging and will test your golf skill. Buggy hire is exceptionally reasonably priced. the food was prepared really well and tasted great. the whole group couldn't find a single complaint throughout the whole course. 10/10 - Hope to see you all again soon !

Our 8 man society played on 22/06. Really warm welcome by the lady in the golf shop, just the perfect introduction to the golf club. The course itself was challenging, but well kept and the greens ran fast and true. Bar staff equally professional for the post round inquest! We had a lovely day and would definitely return.

I've been a member here for a number of years now. I may be a little bit biased, but I think that it is a wonderful course. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the High Peak ,and fancying a knock.

First time on the course, played the front 9. Really nice course to play and friendly staff too.

Had a great afternoon playing golf, would definitely recommend. The staff and facilities are excellent, thank you :)

A very interesting course! For the big hitters some holes may be a little short, but nevertheless just another chance for a birdie! I would definitely go back.

We were there for the week doing a course which was held in the function area. Just wanted to say thanks for the delicious food and Helen who looked after us.

Very enjoyable, played in a Seniors open and was looked after very well by the organisers (cake and soft drinks halfway round). Catering staff after the round were good as was the pulled pork bun with salad and chips. Thank you all concerned.

The reason for visiting the Cavendish Club was for a funeral wake, but I have to say, the spread put on by them was marvellous, as was the club itself and the staff. We hope to call again soon under different circumstances.

Great views, great quality course and challenging holes

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

Fantastic facilities, Dave is very friendly and a very easy coach to to work with. Definitely worth going hit some balls if your local or just pass through.

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.

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!

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

The staff were really friendly, the course was in excellent condition and the Lady Vice Captain was very welcoming as well. A really good afternoon of golf.

Loved this course. Immaculate condition and a friendly welcome. Fairly generous fairways but enough of a challenge for a mid-handicap golfer. Favourite holes were 7 (par 3 over water), 10 (downhill par 4 with a narrow green next to water) & 11 (long uphill par 3).

Ian Walley is 10/10. Been to him for a year now for lessons. Understands what you want, where you are with your game & every lesson is worthwhile. Makes it very simple & enjoyable.

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

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

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.

Beautiful views of the week maintained course. Plenty of seating and very clean and tidy. The menu is small but with locally sourced and perfectly cooked ingredients every option our group ordered was really lovely. Staff were well turned out, friendly and helpful. They were obviously happy and it made for a good atmosphere. In addition our party included a (well behaved) dog who they were happy to show in white we were eating which was particularly nice and meant we didn't have to rush.

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.

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.

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.

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.
