About
Situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park, between Ashbourne and Derby in the village of Brailsford, sits this beautiful 12-hole golf course with scenic views of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.
Consisting of gently undulating parkland with contrasting woodland terrain together with several water hazards, which attract diverse wildlife from swans, buzzards and oyster catchers to rabbits and pheasants.
Brailsford is a deceptively challenging test of golf. Ranging from difficult par 3’s in the form of the picturesque tree enclosed 4th and the 8th over water to several around 400 yard par 4’s and a par 5 dog-leg 9th, testing even the most gifted golfer.
The 12-hole layout at Brailsford Golf Course is ideal for those wanting a shorter form of the game without losing any of the enjoyment or the test of skill required, taking around three hours.
For those wanting 18 holes, the par 70 red course at just over 5,000 yards, is used by the lady members and is also ideally suited to junior golfers or beginners. The yellow course, at around 5,500 yards is ideal for all other golfers. The full 18-hole experience is a true test of golf. Utilising different tee positions for six of the holes, which as a result means holes can vary as much as 80 yards in length.

Brailsford
The layout of the course is good, fairways were ok , but the greens were very poor, sprinklers needed for the greens.
The not so green greens.
Now I know all golf courses I’ve been struggling this last couple of months with the heat waves etc but this is the first time I’ve been to a golf course in this price bracket during this timewhere the greens have been absolutely atrocious, barely playable a really disappointing to be honest.
We can all expect scorched fairways in the weather we’ve had in the UK recently but the greens here were quite simply dead!
No reduction at all in green fees.
Also, they had next to no draft ales or lagers on in the clubhouse when we were there either. so they couldn’t even water the customers properly never mind the greens.
Shame.
Nice course but appalling greens
Have payed here many times over the years but the greens have become un playable, no chance or reading a line. ( not talking about pitch marks)
Not looked after at all.
Especially not worth £22.50 for 9 holes when compared to Uttoxeter golf for £15 as many holes as you can do and £35 on the Moorland course at Breadsall Priory from 2pm ish, thats 18 holes as well. We played these 2 courses the week before.
Great course
Played here for the first time, really enjoyed it. Some of the holes are doubled up but with the variety of challenges it doesn’t feel like a shortened course at all the whole layout was brilliant. The course is really well maintained. The greens are hard and fast. If you find yourself in the rough it’s quite dense so good luck. The only reason I gave this four stars is because it isn’t a completely full course (18 individual holes). Really friendly staff both in the bar and the driving range I would definitely recommend anyone to go play there.
Great course, lovely setting
Great course, not too busy so didn’t feel overwhelmed or rushed. Friendly staff and enjoyable day to play
Great course at a great price
Brailsford is a challenging 12 hole course where you replay 6 holes for the full 18.
It has some very memorable holes such as the par 3 4th into the pines and the par 3 8th over the pond, as well as the difficult par 5 9th dogleg around the field.
The course has been in great condition through winter and is already playing well into spring.
There’s a driving range as well although only maxes out at 250 before a fence protecting the 4th green.
Balls vanish in the rough rough!
The fairways are ok but the rough is too overgrown, so too many balls lost despite having a good round.
Great course. Friendly staff
Great course. A little confusing when playing the last 6 again and others are just starting off
Could be better
Very good value for money. Some very nice holes, especially the par 3s. Tees were a bit on the rough side and the greens were slow. Very nice clubhouse and very friendly staff.
Over charged me
I booked for 2 people which went on my credit card . When I arrived they said only 1 golfer had been paid for and charged me again . I’ve since checked my credit card statement and I’ve been charged for 2 golfers and paid for another on my debit card . Not happy
