Ormonde Fields Golf Club

I’m always happy to play Ormonde Fields but have to make sure I don’t have plans for after!

The course has an interesting range of length and shape holes, some a little awkward but they all keep you thinking as opposed to the hit & hope style play at a lot of courses.

As mentioned my only gripe is the fact you’ll often get stuck behind slow players, I ended up pairing up with another single because we’d both end up waiting together for the group in front to clear the fairway.

There were 5 groups of 4 players in front of me all of the older generation which is fine but when you observe one group having sandwiches & a chatting amongst them selfs while no ones in front of them & players waiting behind them

Cannot fault the course or conditions. The only problem was no warning that 1 hole was on a temp green due to winter maintenance. But if a shock driving to find diggers putting winter drainage in.

Played here for the first time today and will definitely be back. Some really scenic holes and the greens were really well looked after. For someone who's not had a driver out much this year, the longer holes were difficult but overall loved the challenge.

Ormonde fields is not a long course but you need good course management to get round .

Correct placement off the tee is virtually important to get a good score.

Greens run true and the fairways are superb.

Greens could just do with being a bit softer so they can take a ball.

Overall great value at £20 a round

Great fairways and greens, splendid views around a hilly course.

Friendly staff in pro shop and club house, with a good food/drink choice.

Our first time but we will be back, a very nice course with some tricky goes.

ORMONDE FIELD GOLF COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND THE GREENS WERE TRUE AND ALL VERY CONSISTENT. THE PRO SHOP WAS WELL STOCKED AND THE PRO VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. ALL IN ALL A GREAT DAY

Top quality golf course. Tees, fairways and greens all very well kept. Opening hole is a fabulous start to the round. Greens not particularly quick today, but very true.

Lots of doglegs, mainly to the left. Fairways generous enough in width to allow for less than perfect tee shots, but too far off line you will be in the trees.

You need to be fit to play this course, as there are some big slopes to climb, but there are some great views from the top. Some longish walks between holes too.

Overall a good test of your golf game and certainly one I’d like to play again soon.

Generally the course seemed tired, the greens were in OK condition, there were lots of debris on them though, seemed like they’d not been tidied at all that week. One indication of the course upkeep was the bunkers, we’ve had rakes back in bunkers for over a week now and not one had been raked, the level of the sand was really low and I’d describe it more as gravel. Because of this £20 was a bit steep for the condition.

Greens were in good condition and course well manicured. Very long green to tee, lots of 320 yard par 4s and finishes on a par3. Main issue was that it felt squashed into a space, lots of blind holes and slopes so easy to hit a good straight shot and lose a ball, not easy and very frustrating for a mid-handicapper. Fair value for £20 I paid but 4.5 hours so hard work

Played this course a few times now, well looked after and a good standard of greens. Very good value for money, friendly clubhouse atmosphere with some nice food. All in all definitely worth a visit.

Having played Ormonde many years ago this is a much improved course. The layout is good and challenging coupled with being excellently maintained by their staff. Greens could have been quicker but they were in good condition.

First time playing but would recommend reading about the holes prior. Few blind greens etc but overall one of the best courses in Derbyshire, easily. Challenging but in great condition so plays well. Bravo to the ground keepers. Greens run well and fairways attractive.

Overall the course and facilities were good. Staff very friendly and attentive with outside service. Greens were nearly there but need the growth accelerating with feed to fill-in some indentations and allow to be cut lower for better ball speed
