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.

Poor attitude

I went to the course but as it was closed went to the club house to get some change for the driving range. Asked the lady present if she could help and she said no and ordered me to leave the premises. I asked her name and she refused and shouted at me to get out which is not the way to speak to anyone let alone a potential customer - thoroughly disappointed - please avoid this course if you possibly can.
