Much Improved

Not known for it's flat terrain and coupled with a scorchio day the course would always win. It'd win anyway but get the excuses in early. In very good condition but if I had to raise a niggle it would be the speed of the greens being a touch slow. Smooth booking in, good pace of play - how often can you say that these days and smoothest buggy ever had.

Brian rated 2.5 out of 5

Reviewed Mar 8 2026

Was a good course with two 9 holes starting and ending near car park. Link Golf took course over and changed layout to start with a par 3 which was originally the 3rd hole. Now in the winter when buggies are banned to walk the front 9 holes you end up miles away from the car park. As a player in my late seventies this layout has stopped me playing for most of the winter I think that if Link check the numbers using the course in winter they will find fewer people using the course since the layout was changed. Why start with a pr 3?

Tapton Park!

The potential of the course is amazing, but its open to anyone and the owners are concerned about money, money, money.
Fairways were saturated and very muddy; winters tee boxes where you cannot insert a tee into the mat. The greens were very soft; and some hand standing water and should not be in play.

Winter Weather
Greens frozen solid, fairways solid and loads of standing water. Wouldn’t be bad in the summer

Big improvement

I submitted a review in June, and commented on the abysmal condition of the greens. Played today (Nov 8) for the first time since and am happy to report that the greens are way better. A new head greenkeeper has been employed and in the space of 6 weeks the greens have improved vastly. This bodes well for the future and means that hopefully, by next season Tapton will fulfil it's undoubted potential. More of the same please 'Link Golf'.

A good course but a bit of a rough diamond. Well worth a play which will give you a test.

Great setting, but now in poor condition.

What a shame. This is where I learned to love golf, but the condition now is such a disappointment. Very poor greens, below average tee boxes, worm casts everywhere and average, at best, fairways.

The clubhouse and driving range was buzzing, but the course looks like it's in a race to the bottom, not striving for the top.

Abysmal Course

Greens are Tapton Park are more like the Derbyshire Hills, full of lumps, bumps, patchy coverage, uneven surfaces, different types of grasses - generally horrendous greens!
Fairways were ok, ground conditions were very wet.
Since the new owners (Link Golf) have been in, the course quality has significantly worsened, more bothered about money in the tills rather than a decent course.

Mr

Played the course today 3rd Sept 2025 and was very disappointed in its condition. I used to play a few years ago and it has deteriorated consierably. The tee boxes were uneven and bare and the greens had large bare patches I presume the management of the course over this summers dry weather has been insufficient. Not playing here until it improves to a level of other local courses
