Thinking about joining a golf club in 2027? Matlock Golf Club is now inviting golfers to register their interest in full membership for the new season. Full membership places are limited, so joining the waiting list is the best way to ensure you receive the latest information when availability, prices and next steps are confirmed.

Whether you are looking for a new club, returning to golf or ready to move from occasional rounds into regular club membership, Matlock Golf Club offers far more than access to an 18-hole course.

Full Golf Membership In The Heart Of The Peak District

Matlock Golf Club is located above the town of Matlock, on the eastern edge of the Peak District. Established in 1906, the club combines more than a century of golfing history with modern facilities and continued investment in the member experience.

Our 18-hole, par-70 course sits in an elevated position overlooking Matlock and the Derwent Valley. Changes in elevation, tree-lined holes and carefully positioned greens create an enjoyable challenge for golfers of different abilities.

The course rewards good positioning and thoughtful club selection rather than relying on length alone. It is a layout that remains interesting, whether you are playing it for the first time or throughout an entire membership season.

Play More Golf Throughout the 2027 Season

Full membership is designed for golfers who want to play regularly and become properly involved in club life.

Members can enjoy regular social golf, enter club competitions and maintain an official handicap. You also have the opportunity to meet other golfers, represent the club and take part in the wider competition and social calendar.

For many golfers, membership provides the structure needed to play more often. Instead of deciding where to book each week, you have a home course, familiar playing partners and regular opportunities to compete.

A Golf Course with Views and Variety

One of Matlock Golf Club’s greatest strengths is the variety found throughout the course. The natural landscape creates changes in height, direction and character as you move through the round.

Several holes provide far-reaching views across the surrounding Derbyshire countryside. However, the elevation is not simply part of the scenery. It influences the wind, club selection and the type of shots required.

The result is a course that tests different parts of your game without becoming inaccessible to developing or higher-handicap golfers.

TrackMan Driving Range

Membership at Matlock Golf Club is supported by a covered and floodlit 10-bay driving range equipped with TrackMan technology.

TrackMan measures the flight and performance of every shot, helping golfers understand their carry distances, ball flight and consistency. It can be used for structured practice, interactive challenges or a more relaxed session with friends.

The covered range allows members to continue practising when they do not have time for a complete round or when conditions make playing the course less appealing.

Indoor TrackMan Golf Simulator

Our indoor TrackMan simulator provides another way to play and practise throughout the year.

Members can work on their swing, analyse shot data or experience virtual rounds on well-known golf courses. It is particularly useful during darker winter evenings and periods of poor weather. The combination of the course, covered driving range and indoor simulator provides a complete environment for golfers who want to keep playing and improving across every season.

Professional Golf Lessons and Coaching

Golf lessons are available through the club’s PGA Professional team for players of different abilities. Coaching can focus on a particular part of your game, address recurring problems or form part of a longer-term improvement plan. TrackMan data can also be used to provide a clearer understanding of what is happening during the swing and through impact.

You do not need to wait until something has gone badly wrong before booking a lesson. Regular coaching can help you practise with greater purpose and make better use of the time you spend on the range.

Custom Golf Club Fitting

Matlock Golf Club also provides custom golf club fitting using TrackMan technology. Golfers can compare different clubheads, shafts and specifications using measurable results from their own shots. This helps identify equipment suited to the individual golfer rather than relying on standard specifications or marketing claims.

Custom fitting and golf club gapping sessions can be particularly useful if your swing has changed, your equipment is becoming dated or several clubs in your bag appear to travel similar distances.

Competitions, Handicaps and Club Golf

Joining a golf club gives you access to more than casual rounds. Members can obtain or maintain an official handicap and take part in an active schedule of club competitions.

Competition golf introduces a different challenge and gives each round a clearer purpose. There are opportunities for golfers across different handicap levels, rather than competition golf being reserved for the club’s strongest players.

For golfers who enjoy the social side of the game, regular competitions are also an excellent way to meet other members and become part of the club.

A Friendly and Active Clubhouse

The clubhouse is an important part of the membership experience. It provides somewhere to meet before playing, relax after a round and enjoy food and drinks when catering is available.

Large picture windows overlook the highest parts of the course, while the terrace provides an excellent place to enjoy the views during warmer weather.

The clubhouse also hosts social events, presentations and other activities throughout the year, helping create an active club away from the course.

Golf Membership Near Chesterfield and the Peak District

Matlock Golf Club is conveniently located for golfers living throughout Derbyshire and the Peak District.

Who Is Full Membership Suitable For?

Full membership is suitable for golfers who want regular access to the course and the opportunity to become involved in club competitions and social golf.

You do not need to be a low-handicap player or an experienced club member. Golfers returning to the game, improving players and those joining their first club are all welcome to register their interest.
