Recommendation within 30mins of Chesterfield

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

As a treat for late May I can play as good a course and challenge as I can find within about 30mins drive from Chesterfield.

Sitting top of my list at the moment are Notts (Hollinwell) or Lindrick. Any other suggestions please, and if Notts or Lindrick are the best options then which of the two?

Coxmoor another to consider. Notts is the best though.

I personally prefer Coxmoor to Notts, but both top quality venues. Sherwood is another to consider in that area.

Slightly further but one of my favourite courses and excellent value is Cavendish Golf Cub near Buxton, an Alister MacKenzie course.

Of the two you suggested, Hollinwell is much the better in my view.

Hollinwell, Sherwood and coxmoor in that order.
Cavendish would slot in just after Hollinwell.

Coxmoor has a nice clubhouse. But simple track.

Thanks for thoughts…no mention of Hallamshire up in Sheffield?

Heard really good things about the Hallamshire but never played it. Hillsborough is another one worth a punt - I played there a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not played it myself, but friends like Abbeydale nr Sheffield

I should add that I most prob have the ok to spend what is required to play Hollinwell. So though it’s not that budget is no constraint…I’m playing with a pro and as he doesn’t play that many rounds away from his own club he wants to play somewhere right proper and he doesn’t really know very well the clubs of north midlands up to Sheffield…obviously he knows of Hollinwell and Lindrick though I don’t think he’s played either.

Being born and raised in the area, it is pure comedy to think that this photo was taken within 3 miles of Mansfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield.



I've never been to Hollinwell, but it's on the bucket list.

It’s a belter, Rich, that’s for sure. I’ve played a few opens there and it’s a top quality venue, fully justifying its status in the past as an Open qualifier. Off the back tees it’s an absolute beast, but still very playable.

And, please, no flip flops in the clubhouse ?

The approach to Hollinwell is well strange. You drive down a long uninspiring track, then You drop down through the trees and Wow. That is the kind of view you get driving all the way down the side of the 18th Up to the back of the clubhouse.

Having played Sherwood, my closest course, Lindrick and Hollinwell I would plump for,
Course = Hollinwell.
History= Lindrick.
All three course have a lovely clubhouse. I don’t think you would be disappointed playing any of them three.

Cheers…I’ve actually played Lindrick…though 25+ yrs ago. And me and my mate had a round of sandwiches and a beer for lunch. We had to put our jackets on of course as we were seated in the main dining room. Just the two of us in a splendidly huge room sat at the end of an enormous long table. The sandwiches came on a silver platter of course, and the girl was in full ‘formal waitress’ uniform.

Yup me and a member there were relegated to the Ryder room. I had to laugh, I ordered a bag of crisps to eat in the car on me way home. She brought them in a bowl. I asked if could bring back the bowl the following week.

 

[The Fader]

Lindrick in front of the Notts courses for me personally.

And The Hallamshire comfortably ahead of Hillsborough if you head to the Steel City!

 

[Crow]

I think the Lindrick clubhouse renovations have gone too upmarket in an attempt to justify recent large price hikes.

The Ryder room used to be great but now it's just like any other plush corporate bar, no longer feels welcoming to me.
My favourite scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast were no longer on the menu either.

I've played there quite a number of times but I think my visit last year is likely to be my last.

It's getting to the point that we need a Mansfield survivor's thread where we can all communicate in Nottinghamese.
