Matlock Golf Club

I'll declare my interest at the start, in that I have been a member of Matlock GC for 15 years. I can't recognise its description by one reviewer as "featureless". It has some of the most spectacular views in Debyshire - across the Derwent valley towards the ruins of Riber Castle on the hilltop. Every hole is different - many of them incorporating Bentley Brook that winds its way through the course.
Criticisms of the welcome and course conditions in the past, sadly, may have some justification.
I'll admit that the course has suffered from some indifferent greenkeeping in the past, but I think the latest reviewer's comments are more representative of its current condition.
The welcome you'll get from our new young professional, Christian, is a lot warmer than previously. You'll also find Mick Wain our recently appointed secretary very accommodating.
I'm an ex-pat Scot and can understand that Derbyshire folk can seem a little reticent intitially, but you'll find the members friendly enough provided you're not holding the whole course up.

Really enjoyed playing this course. Loved the layout. The greens were in quality condition. However the fairways were a little longer than im used to. Would happily play there again.

I found this an interesting course although the state of the greens left a lot to be disired. Also found that the memebers that were their the day I played none to friendly.

A challenging yet rather featureless course - shame considering it's on the edge of the Peak District. Didn't really get the kind of friendly welcome you'd like as a visitor.
