What the club says: The course was taken over by the current owners in June 2016 who continue to work hard and make Barlborough Links the best 9 hole course in the area. New regular cutting regimes, newer equipment and a greens management programme are helping to keep the course in good shape. USGA spec greens mean summer greens are in play all year round. Regular rotation of grass tees also means we try and stay on grass for as long as possible, only moving to mats when absolutely necessary.
A 9 hole par 35 FootGolf course was installed in July 2016 and provides an ideal place for young and old to take their first steps into the principles of golf using a football.
March 2017 saw the opening of a new Reception and small coffee shop housed within the existing driving range, taking the number of bays available to 11. A small selection of hot/cold drinks and chocolate are currently available.
Consistent opening hours in Reception are restoring the faith of previous customers who weren't sure when the course or range would be open!
Free coaching on Wednesday evenings (6 - 7:30pm) with our PGA Qualified Class AA Head Professional, Andy Carnall are proving very popular. You only pay for your basket of balls - the coaching is completely free.
Junior free coaching commenced in February 2019 and takes place every Monday from 4:30 - 5:30pm. Mirroring our Wednesday evening free coaching, simply buy a basket of balls - the coaching and club hire is free. Suitable for age 6+ and parental supervision is required. please see our website www.barlboroughlinksgolfclub.co.uk/coaching for further information and conditions. **Currently suspended due to COVID-19**.

Reviewed Sep 5 2021 by Aaron C - rated 4 out of 5 Course is in great condition compared with my visits a few years back. Very impressive work undertaken. Greens up there as some of the best in the area (too fast for me!). Perhaps investment in bunkers at some stage would assist otherwise keep up the great work. Final/9 hole lake gets me every time.

Ground very boggy but then that’s to be expected, greens are fast and getting better after the disease, all in all a pleasant round, I’m sure within the next few weeks once the ground has dried up the course will be back to its best, according to the app I use the 150 markers on some of the holes are as much as 20 yards out.(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 45 Handicap: )

Reviewed Jan 14 2018 by Jeremy S - rated 4 out of 5 Course is ok
The course is actually playing quite well considering how boggy the course is, greens are in such good condition compared to a few years ago and at this time of the year, too many players are still leaving pitch marks especially on the par 3 6th, a good little course for the price. Considering the course conditions I had a good round and my mate Nigel played well also.(Round played: Jan 2018 - Score: 40 Handicap: )

Played 2 rounds of 9, first 9 not too good but pleased with the second 9, scored 45 and 41, the greens are so much better than ever before, Neil your a genius, I would still like to see the post markers for 100 and 150 mtrs, it would be so much easier to see them, the ones on the floor are not so visible, luckily I have got a rangefinder, no point in practicing and learning your distances if you can't see how far away you are, a big thanks too all really, course is becoming a little gem.(Round played: Aug 2017 - Score: 45 Handicap: )

Reviewed Jul 7 2017 by Sam C - rated 3 out of 5 New Ownership.
This has been my local course since I could first hold a club however I'd never shout about it being my favourite course for a few reasons. However the course is now under new ownership and I couldn't imagine better people for it! They've improved the course no end already and from what they have been promising it's going to just keep getting better. Lovely people too.The only major downside at the minute is the fact there is no clubhouse (due to a fire a few years back).
