Don Heathcote - Captain's Welcome
This year I will have been a member of Matlock Golf Club for 25 years and I am honoured and proud to be elected Captain in my silver anniversary year. Matlock may not be the longest course you will play at just under 6000yds, but none the less I think you will find the Tom Williamson design a stiff challenge, especially when the wind blows and you will have to be at your best to come home with a good score. Even if your golf is not up to scratch on the day you can not help but enjoy the setting of the moorland course in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.  A warm and friendly welcome will always be extended to you by the professional, caterers, house manager and their staff, and not forgetting the members themselves. I hope you find time to fit Matlock into your schedule this year, I may be biased after 25 years but I am sure you will not be disappointed .
Jenny Simpson - Ladies’ Captain
Thank you for visiting our website. At Matlock Golf Club we have a thriving and active Ladies Section and enjoy our golf amongst wonderful scenery and splendid views of the Matlock area. 2011 will be the second time I have been Lady Captain, a great honour for me in a year that will see us hosting the Derbyshire Ladies County Championships, run three Open golf events and refurbish our Ladies Locker room. I hope that our mix of social and competitive golf, away breaks, Inter Club matches and social activities will make it a really exciting year for us all. Whether you are looking for a Club to join or an interesting course to play I am sure you will find the challenge our course offers, the magnificent views and our friendly welcome both enjoyable and rewarding.

Welcome from the Captain, Bob Whyld and the Lady Captain, Veda Kay
We are very honoured to be Captain and Lady Captain of Matlock Golf Club for 2012.
Some people say that Golf is a good walk 'spoiled', but at Matlock we disagree - Golf at Matlock is a very good walk with exceptional views, a friendly welcome and hopefully some good Golf !
In 2011 the Course was in superb condition and work is going on through the Winter to make even more improvements for 2012. In addition to the interesting fairways, the challenging greens and strategically placed bunkers there are around 24 species of trees and 116 varieties of wild flowers to enjoy around the Course. Visitors of all ages are assured of a warm welcome and we will try to make your round at Matlock one to remember. We look forward too, to welcoming anyone interested in taking up this great game of Golf and enquiries from potential new members, whatever their standard, are always welcome.

Established in 1906 on the undulating moorland above the town of Matlock, the eastern gateway to the Peak District National Park, our club offers a challenging 18-hole par 70 course of just over 5,800 yards (yellow tees) with spectacular views across the valley of the River Derwent.

  • The Clubhouse
  • The Cuckoostone
  • The First Tee
  • Perfect Greenkeeping
  • Great situation

With every hole different and the Bentley Brook meandering through the course to add further interest, Matlock is a regular choice for county and inter-county fixtures and each year welcomes many other visitors – individuals, societies and corporate groups. 

The off-course facilities provided by our friendly Professional, Bar and Catering staff are just as important in supporting our aim to make the 'Matlock GC Visitor Experience' one that will bring golfers back time and time again. The clubhouse is also available for hire for private functions such as wedding receptions, anniversary/ birthday parties and business meetings. 

For existing players who are moving into the area, or those who are considering taking up the game for the first time, we have a limited number of gentlemen, ladies and junior membership places available . 

We hope you'll use the tabs to explore our website fully and that you find the information there interesting and useful. We look forward to welcoming you to Matlock Golf Club soon.
