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 with greens to rival those of more expensive establishments (regular 9+ stimp readings). USGA spec greens mean summer greens are in play all year round with continued investment in drainage to make the course more playable during Winter. Regular rotation of grass tees also assists the aim to stay on grass for as long as possible, only moving to mats when absolutely necessary.
The club affiliated to England Golf in 2022 and can offer WHS membership for £42 (Apr24-Mar25).
A 9 hole par 35 FootGolf course provides an ideal place for young and old to take their first steps into the principles of golf using a football.
Reception houses a small coffee shop within the existing driving range, taking the number of bays available to 11. A small selection of hot/cold drinks and wrapped chocolate are currently available.
*Free coaching on Wednesday evenings (6 - 7:30pm) with your Class AA PGA Qualified Golf Professional, James Gill are still very popular. You only pay for your basket of balls - the coaching is completely free.

A good 9 hole course. It's forgiving for the new golfers but there's enough challenge for experienced golfers too. The par 4 9th is probably the signature hole and by far the toughest. It will likely require some course management in your play. Course can get a bit boggy but generally the condition is good. It really comes into its own in terms of value for money.

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.

Lovely weather
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: )

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: )

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).
