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 in 1988. Its a place where everyone says hello and seems to be having a nice time, contoured fairways neatly define each hole, the greens firm and fashionably american were re-designed in 1999 by Britain's Walker Cup captain and former World Champion, Peter McEvoy. The slopes on the greens are big and tricky to read.It was the first USGA specification 18 hole course in The Midlands. Afterwards you will want to hang around the trendy clubhouse in the old manor house complete with bar and verandah.

Now GPS Mapped! Every bunker, every water hazard and nearly every tree now shows up on your approved handheld device or on our own GPS buggies

Expertly molded into 168 acres of wonderful Derbyshire countryside, this remains a thinking course where a variety of shot making skills are necessary to arrive at a large 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 2007 are fast and true with meadow grass now being dominant over the American grass used in the greens construction.
