What the club says: The 'front nine' is renowned as a real test for any golfer. The tree-line tight fairways of the par 4s are especially challenging. Wayward drives usually mean a difficult second shot or a chip out onto the fairway. To finish the 'front nine' is the dog-legged 495 yard 9th - a real birdie chance for straight hitters.
The 'back nine' has its own special holes too, including the long but fair par 5 13th. A particular favourite of many is the par 4 15th which has a copse on the right ready to devour golf balls from the slightly off-line drives of the bold who try to save yards by aiming up the right-hand side of the fairway!

Better than expected
Nice flat course. First nine with some long holes and a touch tighter fairways than the back nine. The greens were in decent condition. Bunkers need a bit more sand otherwise a course where a bit of consistency means you can do well.Reviewer Rating

The course itself is a challenge and is currently undergoing a lot of work so by next summer should be a belter but whilst the fairways and most of the tees are good, currently the greens are a mess and they should be charging a reduced green fee as most are unputtable

Neglected Wasteland Unworthy of the Price
Sinfin Golf Club has become an utter disaster under its new ownership. The once-respected course is now a wasteland, where the greens are scarred beyond repair, riddled with divots, and practically devoid of grass. Playing here feels like an exercise in frustration. The tee boxes are so poorly maintained, they might as well be on a ski slope—good luck finding your footing, let alone taking a stable shot without slipping.The bunkers? Forget it. They’re filled with compacted clay, making them nearly impossible to play out of. And as for the ditches, they’re more like dumping grounds, littered with rusty bikes and abandoned pushchairs—honestly, it feels like you’re wandering through a junkyard instead of a golf course. The overall scruffiness of the place is staggering, and it’s clear that absolutely no care or pride is taken in its upkeep.
Despite these appalling conditions, Sinfin Golf Club still clings to its old SIV branding, like some relic from a bygone era. Meanwhile, the clubhouse is a joke. It’s trying to charge Waitrose prices while offering a Tesco Express experience—if you consider microwaved bacon “experience” at all. It’s absurd.
The most disturbing part, though, is the unchecked vandalism. Local troublemakers, some in balaclavas, rip out flagsticks, snap bunker rakes, and generally run wild, adding a layer of chaos to the already grim atmosphere. Since Link Golf took over, they’ve not just mismanaged the club—they’ve gutted its soul. What once had charm and community has become an overpriced, rundown dump.
For the absurd price of a tee time, you’d be far better off heading to Morley Hayes. At least there, you’ll actually find a course that’s playable. Sinfin is, simply put, a disgrace to golf.

I've been playing here for ages and dire accurately describes the conditions you will find. Some grass to be found on both greens and tees, but plenty of mud. Many tees are either up hill or down hill withe the ball above or below your feet. Taken over several months ago by Link Golf who reckon it'll be a "premier destination in the area" is beyond fanciful. I understand that the resident Derby Golf Club have abandoned qualifiers because of the dreadful standard of the course.

Great condition ?. But full the bunkers
Course was in fabulous condition, greens were soft which was great for the heat. The bunkers however were terrible, all the sand at the bottom so every bunker shot was like hitting of concrete. Some very tricky pins that were 4 paces on in places.Reviewer Rating

Great condition. Cannot fault. The greens were the correct speed and cut perfectly. Distance markers inset in the fairways helps considerably. A shortage of ball washers is the only downside.

I had low expectation of Sinfin golf course from what i had known over the years, but i have to say i was blown away at the quality of the course, the greens are in beautiful condition and the layout of the course gives plenty of variation, i didnt play a good round of golf but i thoroughly enjoyed playing there, also enjoyed the steak pie and chips afterwards, the only downside was that there wasnt really a pro shop.

The course is challenging especially the front 9, greens are in good condition for this early in the season,
Some work has been done recently with regards to pathways and direction posts , the fairways are not brilliant, very patchy in places and the bunkers are very hard and could do with a rake and some sand adding. To sum up decent good course for a decent price, we'll worth a visit

Frosty winter review Jan'22
For those looking for a winter review........Hadn't rained for a while but a very frosty morning. As a result the greens were showing permanent indentations (should be closed on such days to protect them).
1 winter green and astro tee boxes were available.
Fairways were very firm in places, a "bit" wet in others. I used a fairway mat so less of an issue.
Trollies (and buggies) still allowed, which surprised me.
Overall the course is standing up well however.
