Within the club we have three recognised sections which members can opt to take part in the activities of - Ladies, Seniors and Juniors incorporating the Cadets.
Whether you are a competitive golfer or novice player progressing from our academy our ladies section offers a friendly welcome.
For those wanting competition we have thriving Bronze and Silver teams which play Derbyshire league matches.
Many of our ladies also play in Sheffield League and Derbyshire League friendly matches.
In addition to the more formal in-club competitions, our ladies section host many fun events – including three clubs and a putter competitions, Texas scrambles, stableford and AMAMs.
On other days many players meet up, draw for partners, then play nine or eighteen holes.
Whilst our lady members play any time throughout the week, the main competition times are Tuesday and Sunday mornings.
The Seniors’ section is open to all golf club members aged 55 and over and provides fantastic golf and social opportunities.
The section hosts five internal competitions throughout the calendar - Winter Pairs, Summer Pairs, Summer Singles Knock Out, Veterans’ Trophy and Silver Anniversary Cup.
There are also have 21 matches against other clubs (nine on a home and away basis), two fixtures against the club’s ladies section and one with its juniors.
The senior section’s annual dinner and presentation evening is held early in the new year and shows fantastic camaraderie.
Members of the section are kept informed and amused with a regular ‘Senior Moments’ newsletter.

For Juniors with a CONGU handicap, there is a fixture list which includes five major trophies, additional stableford events, and an ongoing order of merit throughout the season.
