Course in great condition. Moorland type courses traditionally suffer from slow growth at the start of the season. Greens are great and the place looks very well tended. Lots of development being finished off with tracks, bridges and pathways being put in place to accommodate buggies. The Club has just taken delivery of four buggies so anyone concerned about topographical ups and downs could hire one. Personally think golf is as much about the walk and the walk can help dictate the tempo of the game and your swing.
Club has also opened a new driving range fairly recently which we were able to try out. Always interesting to see which swing you brought with you before you step onto the first tee. Great selection of holes all providing their own individual test. Some interesting carries across valleys off certain of the tees. Don't look at them too much, they'll scare the hell out of you. They are all makeable carries but bring your best driving game with you. A number of the greens have raised approaches to them requiring you to fly the ball onto them so scuffed shots tend to get punished unless you're very lucky.
Some lovely views of Riber Castle and surrounding countryside from various holes on the course.
Clubhouse grub was fine and there is a very pleasant 19th area with snooker room, as well as the main club house area/dining room. People we met were very friendly.

Course in very good condition. They only have distance markers in the middle of the fairway - you are lost for distance especially if you are a visitor. A very strange setup regarding buggies - they had four and now non is available? All the other clubs around have buggies and are sanitised with out any problem.....?(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 89 Handicap: 16.1)

First time to the course and it's a good challenge both in terms of course and walking! The greens were in the process of being treated in preparation for the upcoming months so were a bit wobbly but that's understandable. Played with a member so only paid ?10 which was fantastic

Lovely course on the edge of the peak district in Derbyshire. As you would expect there are a few hills to get up and down but nothing too over the top.Set in a fantastic part of the country the course is well laid out and well maintained with impeccable greens and course conditioning.
When I played in late July the course really was a joy to play with true fast greens. Around the green did catch me out a few times with the off green/fairway cut providing for some tricky lies.
Luckily I played with someone who knew their way around but there were a few tees and greens in close proximity which could catch visitors out and having inside knowledge helps with a few shots which are very close to tee boxes notably on the 8th/9th and the 13th, 14th & 15th.
Course well worth playing.

The course was excellent and very well maintained, dare i say manicured! A very tight course, with lots of unusual but fun features. The driving range is excellent as well, and very well lit. Superb views from all areas of the course, making good use of the spectacular surroundings, and the facilities were good, though maybe due some updating in certain places. They have almost finished the golf cart tracks when I went recently as well. Definitely returning and bringing along some friends while i'm at it! Hugely recommended.

Course is set in the picturesque hills of Matlock. Lovely views throughout the round but don't let this impact your concentration. Some very difficult par 3's and a particularly difficult par 5 which has a tight fairway leading to a small elevated green. Make sure you have a good breakfast because the undulating fairways take their toll on the legs by the time you start the back 9. Great testing course which is in fine fettle.

Wow !!
The last time I visited Matlock was before COVID and even then I thought it was a beautiful course, but the recent changes have transformed this into a really spectacular golf club, the course has moved towards a more natural heathland design in keeping with the natural surroundings, a new bunker program has delivered beautifully sculpted hazards that await any unsuspecting golfer and the greens are the best I have played on anywhere this year, they really are a pleasure to putt on. Matlock is a fantastic test of golf with a great range of holes and some stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The club house has had a big overhaul and now is a much more modern and welcoming environment for a drink after, if you haven’t played Matlock before or if you haven’t been for a while get yourself down there you won’t be disappointedReviewer Rating

Played this course for the first time and found it very enjoyable. Fantastic views from many tees and many different styles of holes making use of most of the clubs in my bag. I'd definitely play it again. The only slight criticism is the quality of the bunkers - they are very firm.

great condition despite the heatwave
played yesterday. Throughly enjoyable golfing experience. Hard fast fairways gave extra run to the tee ball but the greens were lush and true. This course requires a strategic plan off the tee as it can be penal if you are off line.Some challenging short holes again needing careful play due to the baked condition of the course. Food etc and clubhouse welcome were excellent as usual.Reviewer Rating
