Great little track

First time here, really enjoyable course. Greens were superb for late January as were the fairways and the rest of the course. Hardly saw another golfer, 9 holes were pretty much unsighted due to fog but thats no fault of the course so we did miss the amazing views. Looking forward to seeing the course/views in all there glory next time we come up to play, hopefully in the sunshine.

Great Views!

Wonderful views around every corner of this course perched high on the hills over looking New Mills and the peak district. we played on a day with serious strong winds making this course a real challenge. the front 9 is a lot more exposed and we too a real battering, however the course was in fantastic condition especially with the huge amount of rain we had had in the week. The greens were fast and true and in great condition. The course is really interesting and a number of blind shots make it challenging for any player. positioning is key as a number of holes are quite short, however if you are out of position they will take shots off you very quickly! All in all well worth a visit just try and pick a clam day!

Great course

Played this course quite a few times. With it playing from poor conditions (Once), to extremely good. On the whole, it's always been a great place to play golf and not being a member, I've always been treated superbly by the club and its members alike. The course itself is challenging, yet not overly so. And the views from certain point along the course of Derbyshire and the peak district are amazing.

Needs work on greens

Lovely course wonderful views nice people unfortunately the greens were shocking, probably the worse greens I have ever played on. very little to no grass on all the green. They need a lot of work to recover. Wouldn't consider playing again till greens improved which is a shame as its a course worth playing repeatedly

My favourite course

I love this course, the back nine is brilliant with some fantastic holes, the par 3 16th in particular, you have to play it to understand why! Only gripe is the boggy fairways on the 10th,11th and 14th but they are busy installing new drainage so this should be much better once completed.

Friendliest club ever

The course, although quite short with 6 par 3's, is anything but easy, some beautiful challenging holes, two that stick out for me are the par 4 9th, which i think would make a fantastic finishing hole, and the 16th, a spectacular 230 yd downhill par 3. There are a variety of holes and every hole is different. Two holes on the back nine, 9/10, do suffer with soggy sides around the trees at the edge of the fairways after heavy rain, fairways and greens in general are always in very good condition I've played this course a number of times over the past few yrs and it never gets tiresome, it's always a pleasure to play. The clubhouse is so friendly and has a good variety of food and beer, John behind the bar can't do enough for you and is a real gent. A class act all round.

This is a MUST play course

My favourite course, six par threes, the fourth is only 87 yards off the yellows but it plays differently every time, the 16th, down hill to a sloping green, very difficult to keep it on the green, we have used 5,6,7 irons, rescue woods, 3 and 5 woods, even driver when the wind was up! what about the 12th, the quarry hole, brilliant. The staff are amazing, they make every one so welcome, John the club house steward is a top guy. Great value for money deals available, we took the 12 rounds in a year (full,12 months) for only ?150, we play there every 2 to 3 weeks, you can't miss us, we're the idiots in shorts....even in winter when its freezing. You must playbthis course as soon as you can. You wont regret it.

Absolute howling gale, even the High Peak Locals said it was bad. The course was in great nick, its cheap, friendly and very tough! A couple of querky holes with tee shots having to rise over a cliff face on the 11th ( i kid you not) and the 16th being a 230 yard par 3 where the green is only just viewable in the distance down a steep hill and over a mass of gorse bushes. But all in all an excellent day out!!!

Course was in very nice condition, greens rolled out nicely and were consistent and true. Many greens are well guarded by green side bunkers and the putting surfaces not being the largest, approach shot accuracy is key. Some fantastic views from notably the 15th tee. The 16th hole is something special playing 230 yards all down hill par 3. The ball seems to stay in the air for a age. Friendly welcome from the pro on arrival and members we passed on the course were friendly. Just a minor downside was that the many of the bunkers had weeds in and compacted sand. Apart from that the course was well presented and will be returning again.
