Let's keep it open

I have played allestree for years. It is a terrific course, hills, trees and picturesque tee locations- but with enough compassion for the 3-times a year golfer like me. It is under threat though. At the moment it only has a life until Xmas 2020 unless we all get down there and show Derbyshire Council that it is viable as a business. It is cheap too. Only £14 a round too. Get down there, keep it open. A great space for the local community too.

Value for money

Would be a great pity if this course closes at the end of the year, good value for money and reasonable test of golf.

Allestree Park

After a relatively gentle front 9, the course becomes horrible. Long, uphill par 4’s and very tiring, feels like it isn’t going to end. Save your best golf for the back 9 because the challenge is unlike the front 9.

Great value for money

Really enjoyed the course and you do get more than you pay for. Did not try the amenities on site so can’t comment on these but the course was challenging enough and well maintained for a public run club.

Course was in excellent condition. This public Course may well be closed down at the end of 2020 so try to play a Round on this scenic parkland Course before the end of the year.

Excellent course, great vfm

My first time playing this course. Easy to book. The course is set in beautiful Derbyshire countryside and in excellent condition. Only slight problem was waiting to play across where the players wait to play the eighteenth. Took a good ten minutes which stopped everyone behind us also. But it was a busy Saturday. We will Definitely play this course again and again.

Very enjoyable

So pleased that this course is still open. It is a fantastic setting with great views. It is a challenging course with uphill and downhill holes, differing lies and greens with plenty of borrow, so different from some of the boring flat courses. I sincerely hope this course stays open as it is such good value and easy to book. As a park course it beats some of the other privately owned ones. Would recommend to any golfer.
