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

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Had a brilliant time playing this course. Really friendly staff and members & the course was super well kept and in great condition. Stunning location and the 10th is pretty spectacular. Looking forward to getting back.

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

Excellent Experience at Matlock Golf Course I recently had the pleasure of playing at Matlock Golf Course, and it was a fantastic experience. The course is in great condition, deceptively looking easy but offering plenty of challenges for all skill levels. Every hole had its unique set of obstacles, keeping the round exciting and engaging. The facilities were top-notch, and the food was excellent, making it a well-rounded day out. A special mention to the professional, Christian Goodman, who was incredibly helpful and offered some valuable tips that improved our round. I highly recommend this course to any golfer!

What an absolute gem of a golf course! But my word it’s hilly so get a buggy!! £40 for manicured greens and well presented fairways, different challenges and views over Hope Valley. Just brilliant, will be back (with a buggy again)

Beautiful course and perfect weather, challenging test for all levels of golfers. The course is hilly and greens trcky but the views you get are stunning,, we visited as a society and everyone enjoyed it 👌👌

Loved our visit to Sickleholme. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The course was in great condition, greens quick and pure. Can't wait to come back!

What an absolute pleasure to play a course which I must have driven past many times and never really knew it was here! Excellent condition out on the course. Made very welcome in the Pro Shop and Clubhouse bar. There are some little touches which make the experience so memorable. The outside seating alongside the practice green is no doubt well used and made for a welcome post round refreshment seat! Stunning views on many holes, the challenge on each is different taking the experience up a further notch! Thank you for supporting the On Course Foundation with their fund raising!

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.

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).

Very good golf course, exelent greens ,great views, Pro Shop helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

Played in the Kestrel today and the course was in superb condition. Greens are receptive and fast, bunkers have sand in. All in all it was a real treat. The course has some stunning holes and there aren't any duds. I enjoyed it so much I'd considering defecting from my current club if there was bike parking (I prefer to enjoy 2 pints after my round!), which brings me to my final compliment: the bar has well kept real ale. Play here, you'll enjoy it!

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.

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.

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 setup, super friendly bar staff and excellent pub food. The course is a gem with excellent greens. 100% worth a visit. Huge practice area.

I went here for a wake following my Uncles funeral. My cousin requested a gluten free option for me in advance. I was given a big plate of sandwiches to myself! They were lovely as was the remainder or the food. The staff were brilliant, the lady behind the bar was very friendly and the female chef came to me and explained what else I could eat that was gluten free.

We held our daughters’ birthdays/christening party here last weekend and they went over and beyond. The food was great and the service was fantastic. Kayleigh and her team did a great job and they were all very friendly and helpful. The softplay company we hired let us down at the very last minute but the staff were very attentive and they provided colouring stuff for kids to use instead. It was a very nice experience and the place made it very intimate for families and friends. They commented about the food being good and homemade. Will definitely hire again in the future.

Have recently had a family wake here and cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are amazing and more than happy to accommodate special requests such as gluten free food, use of a large screen to display photos and a memory table. Everyone that attended the wake commented on the quality, amount and presentation of the food. We were given disposable trays to take away as there was so much food. We cannot thank the whole team enough. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you so much, we appreciate the time and effort you made for us 💐

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.

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.

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

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.

Lovely course in great nick, some challenging holes (for this 26 hcp at least!)with blind tee shots and lots of elevation changes. A few holes cross each other which means it’s a course where you must keep your wits about you but it’s hard to think there’s a better course round here to play for £20. Recommended.

A quaint club next to Uttoxeter racecourse that is very testing and a great opportunity to test your skills. We visited as a society for the day and to have the club president speak to us and advise us about the course before we set out was something we haven't seen often and was very much appreciated by all. Absolute not notch for a welcome and introduction and the staff were also superb and went out of their way to ensure we felt comfortable and welcome. The members very happy to speak with us at length both before and after we had played and I cannot thank all highly enough. The course itself was in amazing condition and makes you think about how you play as opposed to just hammering a driver on every hole. It will test you because there are a few blind holes and it does undulate. There are also a few cross over holes which makes you think about what you are doing and for us only increased the concentration level. It will test the best and is well worth visiting. If you do, then listen to the free advice given from staff and mebers as each hole played exactly as predicted. In regards to price it's superb value for money so I highly recommend that you give this club a whirl. Feedback from our society was extremely high and we will be visiting again. In fact we are looking to tie in a trip where we golf am and watch the races in the afternoon. Thank you very much Uttoxeter from The Swan Golf Society (Brewood)

Fantastic course.. fantastic food,great prices will be returning
