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

Apart from being a very fine course, due credit must be paid to the Head Professional Tim Coxon. Probably the finest in the East Midlands. Outstanding service.

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

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.

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

Came her today for champagne breakfast for my wife's birthday, food was amazing although the portions were large, not a complaint! Service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We've been before and would definitely come again. 100% recommend it. Well done everyone 👏 👍

Visited the newly opened restaurant and was surprised with what a transformation from what it was before. It was much more atmospheric than before with a more welcoming vibe. Service was fast and attentive and food was excellent especially the wood fired pizza. All in all and excellent evening and will definitely be going back 10 out of 10

Our first time in the new restaurant and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. What a change, the design is a huge improvement from before, they’ve created a welcoming and contemporary restaurant which is matched with a varied and interesting menu. And so lovely to look out over the stunning golf course. The food was good, so was the service. Looking forward to our next visit, would definitely recommend!

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.

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

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.

I kept driving past thinking you had to be a member, dropped in on the off chance, staff were friendly and accomodating, food yum Are you able to book a table If yes .. how ? Thanjs

We came here last week for an 18th birthday meal around 20 of us what beautiful food and drink it was. Would highly recommend

Foid night put, great entertainment from the crew. Food was very good, Christmas Dinner with the trimmings. Madrid beer was a bit poor. Although the bar staff learnt to make a negroni! Bloody marvellous.

We came for the Minigolf / adventure golf and it was fantastic! Very welcoming and friendly staff and an overall good atmosphere. We noticed they have a pool, club paddle and all sorts of other activities - what a place! We will certainly be back. Cost £23 for a family of four and well worth it. Plenty of parking too. The mini golf is very well maintained and looks just like it does on the website. Highly recommend it.

Great golf course on the edge of Derbyshire. Lots of different styles holes to challenge every level. Some of the views from the course are absolutely stunning. The par three 16th which is 230 yards off the yellows, down a steep hill overlooking the Manchester valley, on any given day, can be played with an eight iron, or as much as three wood, depending on the wind. Truly a fantastic course for a very enjoyable days golf.

You will not be disappointed with the scenery at this place. Good course but a tough if playing in to the wind.

I'm not a golfer but I have a friend who is a member of NMGC. My connection is walking down the 3rd fairway on a walk with my dog... there's a bell to ring so if anyone is on the tee they'll wait until you're past potential points of dodging a hooked tee shot...The views are quite spectacular especially the 3rd fairway looking towards Kinder Scout. From the people I've spoken to they are very happy with their golf club & club house...

Very enjoyable course with plenty of interest. We held our Captain's Day here and the staff were funny, efficient and attentive. Top class 27 holes of golf and a decent price too.

Lots of interesting holes especially on the back nine,greens very good condition.Excellent value for money,was even greeted by the owner upon arrival in the car park,giving me a detailed induction of course where else would you get this kind of service. Beats all kind of corporate golf courses with this personal touch, looking forward to my next visit.

Brilliant round of golf on a stunning course. Beautiful layout. Greens running well and course looks in great condition. One downside - the bunkers all need more sand in. They were in poor condition compared to the rest of the course.

Did footgolf 6 hole course go round twice only thing prices say 7 quid on website and 5 quid kids we got charged 25 for 2 adults 2 kids only a quid difference but a good testing course and nice venue 👍👍

Played the 9 hole academy course. Lovely course for beginners. Fairways not bad except 4th hole could do with a cut (although is a Par 3 so should be hitting green😂). Greens could do with a little work but still playable! Enjoyed it and will be back

Very nice course views amazing. If your going it's £24 a game as I was there yesterday green's have just been sanded and seeded so may be a few more weeks before they are back to normal but the fairways are mint. Definitely going again in a couple of weeks might even get my membership I enjoyed that much.

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

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!

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.

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.

Great welcoming club, so friendly in the clubhouse and on the course. Great value for money and some tricky holes. Worth every penny. Will definitely be back

Been a member here for 25years. The coarse is tight with small greens and not long.Visitors usually find it difficult to play to their handicaps. Five years on its still tough here after the remodeling of holes.The good thing is the new Steward and his wife are ace and so is their Sunday lunches. Give it a go you'll not regret it.🥘It's got tougher with the aging process.,🧑‍🦯

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.

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
