Welcome to Derwent Valley Golf Club. English woodland and ambling rivers await you on this 7,531 yard par 71 course. Opened in 1905, this is a tricky members club located in the Peak District National Park, UK. There are four tee sets allowing golfers of all abilities to both enjoy a relaxing afternoon and put their golfing abilities to the test. As is true for the Peak District, be very careful when the wind is coming from the west. Derwent Valley offers many opportunities for a birdie but beware holes 5 through 8. These are the real teeth of the course so if you hang on to par through these four holes you may be in with a shout of building a score. A big shout out to Team Chantres, I have enjoyed every part of this contest and am looking forward to the next one already. The 2nd. The 3rd The 8th The 9th

Didn't a guy named Horace Derwent ever own the course? Maybe a huge purchase before owning the Overlook Hotel? If you get the reference, let me know.

Ding ding ding, you win!!! His novel, The Shining. Only thing better on the course would be a par 3 at 217 yards. Would be 237 if Kubrick designed it.

Just finished my round, you weren't kidding about the 5 thru 8 holes. Was 3 under got to the 9th even par, plus 3 thru that stretch. Great course bud, the 16mph wind made for a tough round, 1 under. Gl in the contest

It was great to finally get round to playing this course after watching it develop as a work in progress. I enjoyed my round here and it did throw up a few challenges on the way round.

A quick bump and big thank you to hmammoth for scheduling Derwent on Week 10 of the Korn Ferry tour.
I am looking forward to seeing how the pros handle the challenge!
