Lovely course shame about the pitch marks

Lovely course, gorgeous weather, fair challenge always loved playing here. The issue I found which knocks it from 5 to three stars is the conduction of the greens pitch marks everywhere! It was shocking I lost count of how many times I had to repair marks either on my line or close to it on one green I saw my ball pitch and stop dead it had landed in a massive un repaired pitch mark. Shocking really but for the price can’t complain.

Round while visiting

From renting clubs to lift to fist tee staff where excellent. Playing as a one ball on Derby course, I was prompted to play as a four ball, which I refused and again was accommodated so I could play on my own with my non playing wife for company.
Only other thing too mention was speed of other players and unwillingness to let small groups play through.

Amazing until none golfers

The course the clubhouse the staff very friendly
Unfortunately we got to the first we’re we was delighted to see 3 ball playing the first delighted to say we waited 42 minutes for them to move over or finish by then it was a joke
Asked them to pass the second 32 mins
Then finally a park manager came out It by that time we lost interest and unfortunately we played 3 holes before leaving so not my best first experience

Great morning out with the experience of the Belfry

We played a spontaneous round at The Derby course whilst visiting the area. We firstly got an incredible deal on golf now which already ticked the box for value for money. We still received the great service that the belfry is known for. For their “third” course, it’s great, very playable in great condition and meant for a nice morning on the course. If you can’t get a time on the other two courses or fancy saving a bit of money, definitely have a go on the Derby.

Gutted

I play at the Belfry 6-8 times a year as I usually love it. I drove in the whole area was a mess and dug up. This continued throughout my drive in. I booked in and continued to sign in. No issues there. I went onto the putting green and there were societies/corporate everywhere swearing on the putting proactive green. The whole start to my experience wrecked my day and in fact my golf was awful I couldn’t wait to get off and get home. No idea if I want to play there again?

The Derby Course in April shower season!

The course was in very condition considering the amount of recent rain we’ve had. The greens were quite quick which was greater than expected.

Slow!!!!!!!!

The course was in good condition and greens were great. Staff were really friendly and helpful but the pace of play was awful !!! We waited on nearly every hole for every shot . We came off 15 holes and started to walk back to the clubhouse and was kindly picked up by the starter and taken back . I would recommend the course for the money as long as you don't mind a really long round of golf

Don't under estimate

This is the cheapest course but still an amazing course to play. It has fast greens and a great lay out, even after heavy rain it was still fairly dry in places with great drainage.
