Hidden gem
Absoloute gem of a course. Played with a friend last week. Stunning views. A really good test of golf with some long and short par 4\'s, as well as a couple of attractive and tricky par 3\'s. At 20 quid for 18 holes (9 holes different tees) you\'d struggle to find better value elsewhere. The bar wasn\'t open, so nothing in the way of \'hospitality\' per se. But the locals and members we chatted to on the course were very friendly. Highly recommended.Reviewer Rating

well worth a visit
Having read reviews that suggested that only goats with stamina would put in a good round here I was pleasantly surprised. Not as hilly as expected if you put the ball in right area. Only one or two meaningful climbs. Quite short, with some par 4s reachable in 2 for mid/high handicappers.The 7th (16th) a gem for me. Fairways and greens in good condition. Seemed to be no clubhouse to speak of, just sign in, and directions to 1st tee were a challenge to find. V quiet when I played so the 2 x 9 holes not an issue.Reviewer Rating

To say the least very undulating and therefore shot choice important.
learnt how to play with feet above and below the ball very quickly

Visited this course on Saturday 23rd Aug after phoning to see you you needed to book. No booking required so I turned up with my wife at 4pm to find the course was closed. Very disappointed

Accuracy is essential, small greens, fairways which run all over the place and the day I played ,the course was in excellent condition and the sun was shining. if you are having a bad round, just enjoy the tremendous views. The club house food is excellent, friendly people and a must course to visit if in the area on your hols.

Played here 22nd April - course in great condition with a notable absence of pitch marks on the greens or divots on the fairways. The greens were in far better shape than most other courses near to me in South West Sheffield at the same time.
There are many interesting holes, with a permanent picturesque view over the village of Bakewell
Although there are 9 shared greens, the place was so quiet this was not a problem, but I can imagine on busy days this might slow play down a little.
Lots of tricky holes to challenge even the most accomplished golfer, but all enjoyed by our four all.
(h/caps from 5 to 22). Will definitely return here..

Bakewell course is a nine hole course, very hilly and difficult to play. You need to have a good level of fitness to play here. A shot into the rough is often a lost ball as many of the fairways are surrounded by woodland. It does not work over 18 holes as there is little change on the back nine. The bonus is that it is a beautiful course with spectacular views over the Derbyshire Peak District. All the players and club members I have met are all very friendly and welcoming.
