Fantastic course !! Love playing here whatever the weather. Have had the pleasure of playing here 3 times now and it just gets better every time. A real test for all handicaps. The 17th is frightening but brilliant. Would recommend this course to anyone. Facilities are also fantastic with great staff.

A group of us went here for the LIV event. What a fantastic day, it was easy to park, there was an abundance of shuttle busses to take us to the course & we were welcomed by friendly and enthusiastic members of the team. The course itself looked fantastic & I hope that they host more events in the future.

Fantastic couple of days at the Legends Tour, amazing course and set up. Even better this year 2023 (Apart from the final days wash out weather ☔) - They had mini bus shuttle running also from the car park to course entrance which was brilliant. A1 experience.

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.

Great lesson with Steve - 2 tweaks made to my swing and I feel much more confident.

Another great golf course that I have been to up North. Superb condition around all of the course and not just the greens. Will need to use good course management around it as some of the holes have a camber on the fairways so its quite fun and some of the greens can be quite exciting too. The food in the club house is really really good especially washed down with the beer on tap and the staff are very nice. Will be going down again in the next week and I can't wait!! ________________________________ Update: I have fallen in love with this club. Have played all over the UK but feel so great coming here. Brilliant course that is made perfect by the atmosphere of the staff and members alike. Have had great interaction leading to purchases of a new driver and hybrid. Didn't try to sell me just anything but gave me various options of clubs to try and see what suits me. Look forward to purchasing my irons soon and having some more of the great food and drink to quench my thirst after an enjoyable session on this picturesque golf course. _________________________________ EDIT: 14/10/2022 This is my go to golf course now. They are currently in the process of changing the first two or three holes by adding features to them. This will make it more interesting for the more advanced golfers by adding bunkers for the longer hitters as they will come into play on the first hole. The second hole par 3 will incorporate larger bunkers around the green so accuracy will be key. By doing these changes, this course is coming on leaps and bounds and I love every moment being here. You will not be disappointed and the staff are absolutely great to deal with. It's my second home now so to all of you that are thinking about playing this course , do it. You won't be disappointed. Just be patient as you might not be be able to play the first two holes at the moment but I feel this is going to be worth the wait.

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!

Such a lovely place and great people working there. We did the golf simulation in the studio and had so much fun! The gent behind the till was such a legend too!

A very warm welcome from the pro shop, really friendly. Helpful information given. Unfortunately 2 holes are currently closed due to major roadworks, beyond the clubs control. The course was in fairly good condition considering we had several quite heavy snow showers through the afternoon. Good value for a round of golf on an interesting but not long course. Well worth a visit.

Such a great day with members from our club in Nottinghamshire. The staff were very friendly & attentive & the course was lovely with great views over Buxton & the surrounding area. The food was excellent home made steak pie & crumble to follow 😋 Hopefully the score will improve next time, we will be back 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳️

Great course, always in good condition. The green fees are so reasonable!! The course provides a great variety for all golfers even having a links feel to 4 of the holes. I would definitely recommend a visit!!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Course in wonderful condition. Very difficult in places - lots of hazards including water, slopes and some narrow fairways. Not recommended for high handicap golfers like myself. Will definitely return - once my game has improved.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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).

Played here for my birthday in October 2024 and had a great time. The course is great and very scenic. In addition, my dad was playing golf for the first time since an operation and the staff in pro shop and bar were very helpful. He's now keen to get out and play again thanks to a good to a good experience here.

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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

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

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.

Held my Dad's wake at the golf club on Monday 3rd February, couldn't fault it had the hot sandwiches and chips, they were fantastic great quality meat on the sandwiches and plenty of it, cakes were delicious. Upstairs room was great. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

Excellent game of golf, the course was in great shape and the greens were rather fast. Gorgeous pint of ale afterwards and the best fish finger sandwich I’ve ever had!

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

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!
