Derbyshire Golf Courses

 Mickleover Golf Club at Mickleover Golf Club in Derbyshire

Mickleover Golf Club

The course, although not long at a little over 5750 yards, offers a fair challange to all players, whatever their handicaps. Accurate approach play and a good short game will be rewarded but errant tee shots are suitably penalised. This is especially true on the front nine where the course is a little tighter from the tee. The course is particularly renown for it's tough par 3's. The 2nd requires an accurate tee shot across a small valley to an elevated green. The 6th, at 161 yards, is the shortest of the holes but requires the most precise of tee shots with a bunker and trees to the left and a ditch to the right of the green. The 13th is 202 yards uphill and the 17th is guarded by large, mature trees.
