Officially Ranked the No.1 Course in Derbyshire and Awarded Silver Medal in the Midland Section (2005): Golf Monthly and HSBC UK Course Rankings.
Horsley Lodge Golf Course was inspired by the late Bill White who suggested to the owner of the land John Salt he should build a golf course here. Greens designed by former World Champion, Peter McEvoy, their slopes big and tricky to read. Built to USGA specification and therefore soft spike.
"Mature trees now populate the fairways, Horsley could easily be half a century older than its 20 years." Golf World
Molded into 168 acres of wonderful Derbyshire countryside, this is a thinking course where a variety of shot making skills are necessary to arrive at a green where subtle undulations provide the golfer with a further challenge. McEvoys design skills have made it a wonderful golfing experience. It can be both easy and difficult at the same time. Higher handicappers can club down, heroes can go for it. Trees really define the holes now, and the greens in 2009 are fast and true with meadow grass now being dominant over the American grass used in the greens construction. |
