I played this course last year and was pleasantly surprised. It’s only a 10 hole course then you re-play most of the front nine off different tee boxes.

The course has been further improved since last year. Old 1st has gone. The 1st & 2nd are new, the 3rd is now par 5 and includes the old 2nd. Also new practice nets.

The course has plenty of variety, interesting greens and very scenic. Staff are really friendly.

I would happily play again

We thoroughly enjoyed our round.
The reception from the golf staff was excellent and Covid controls good.
The course itself is well laid out but very hilly so it’s a good work out as well as a decent test of golf.
Some very scenic and picturesque holes. Greens tricky but in great condition.
Really enjoyed and will return.

We really enjoyed playing this course.

It’s in good condition and has a really interesting and challenging layout. There are at least 5 holes of signature quality. The 1st is an excellent hole and sets the standard for the rest of the course.
We will return

To some extent you get what you pay for. Tee boxes & fairways in very poor condition. Greens are good. The course is fairly short so not a major test of golf.
One unusual challenge is the number of locals walking the course without looking Out for golfers. Particularly interesting group of shirt free lads hanging around the 15th and another group sitting on the fairway listening to music on the 16th.
There are better places to play than this, we won’t be going back.

This course is a good test of golf. Tight tree lined fairways, plenty of bunkers, undulating greens. However it’s well worth the effort and a beautiful finish over water on 18th.

Obviously in partial lockdown at the moment so could not use the none golf facilities.
The course is in good condition. The course is beautifully undulating and not as steep as we expected. Plenty of trees and mainly elevated greens.
Only negative comment is the lockdown ball lift out device being used in the holes is rather flimsy and not so easy to use, there are better more sturdy devices in use at other courses.
Overall an enjoyable day, we will be back to play again.

We really enjoyed our game at Matlock
The course is well set out, greens a little slow but we had an awful lot of rain the day before so fully understandable.

The course drains well with relatively little standing water.

The local scenery is stunning and made the game a real pleasure.

Club house, food and staff hospitality were all excellent.

We will go back to play again
