Great course

As you enter you can see the grand new clubhouse building being built it looks fantastic. The course is excellent a couple of holes over 500 yards all were in good conditions. Due to the popularity of the course and numbers play was slower than expected but still really enjoyable

Value for money

Living in Heanor I have a good choice of local courses but I wanted to play somewhere different so decided to give this course another try.

Good course layout with interesting/challenging holes.

Great value for money although some rain will improve the greens which a little worn/tired and the bunkers need to have sand in them and not soil although I was lucky enough to avoid them.

Friendly staff and nice out door beer garden.

Decent pint of lager afterwards as well.

Worth a visit.

Shocking

Played there yesterday with a friend first time.

We play different course every Sunday and thought let’s try here reviews wasn’t bad. Well got to metal hut (pro shop)

Had no drinks in stock.

The tee boxes was shocking. Fairways was ok ish not great.

And the areas around the greens was bone dry. And now the worst bit is the greens oh my god absolutely shocking.

This course is not worth £20.

Will not play again.

Nice established course

I’ve played the course a few times over the years. It was a nice round with the weather. The course is very established and the par 3s play quite long. The course as a whole is in great condition, the greens had been sanded a few days ago which hampered putts. It made it impossible to read a lie in some areas but the run up to the greens was immaculate. Great course for the money and definitely worth a visit compared to most courses in and around the Chesterfield area.

Vastly underrated course in my view

This is a beautiful course, extremely well laid out and maintained, greens close to perfect quality. Pace of play was a bit slow but first week after lockdown and fully booked so a little bit of patience really was called for. Grumpy old duffer behind us was only low point, made much of his long connection to club, managed to be pushy with us and openly hostile with slightly slow group in front of us, not to mention dad and young son quietly walking their dog very respectfully on periphery of course. Sort the welcome out guys and you really will have the perfect set-up. To end on a positive, lovely course and breathtaking views, very much worth the price.

Amenities cannot be judged, currently a cabin while work is done to the clubhouse.

Little boggy in places but to be expected in March, overall the course was in decent condition and challenging in places.

Good value for money

Unplayable

Was told that 4 holes was closed on arrival . Plus had to use winter matts for every shot . The course was in terrible condition to boggy to play decent golf . The greens was shocking not been cut . In my opinion the course should be closed because it is a total waste of money . Definitely won't play this course again ...

Not good in a wet Autumn

Was aware that all shots had to be of small mats due to wet but also found 4 holes unplayable. No mats in shop so played of very wet ground, not good! Everywhere was covered in leaves too which made find the ball very difficult even on fairways. Nice course in the dry so I won’t be back until spring/summer.

Better than the reviews....

Lots of grief given in recent reviews, mostly over the state of the greens, so let's get that out of the way first. One to eleven are absolutely fine. Pretty lush now, in fact, with a bit of winter-ready length. Twelve to eighteen are still being revived but the main body of each is perfectly playable.

So, if the bad reviews over greens was the reason not to visit then don't let it. Especially not at less that a quid a hole.

Main issue is currently the amount of leaves on the course. Be prepared to lose any ball that isn't on the fairway.

Works are ongoing to the clubhouse which has relegated the pro-shop (and I use the term loosely) to a effectively a bare room with a chair and a desk. Don't expect to stock up here pre-play.

Value for money? Yes. If you want Lindrick greens then pay £75 and go to Lindrick.

Good layout, bad green conditions

This course has the potential to be a nice tricky course for the seasoned golfer. Unfortunately at the moment the state of the greens make playing golf on this course nothing more than pointless. Each hole has a beach as a green, it really isn’t worth counting your score ! Fairways, rough etc all ‘ok’ but the greens are absolutely shocking. When they sort this out, recommended! But ring the club before booking to check.
