Hi,

I am a student currently living near Botanical Gardens. I was wondering if anyone knew if there are golf courses or practice ranges that are fairly close to me.

Regards,

Michael

The nearest municipal course to you is Beauchief - Abbey lane. It is not bad for a public course,you will be knackered after the first hole. The green is about 200 ft above the tee. It does get very busy though. There is also a driving range at Bradway - Moor View Golf Centre - Bradway Rd.

Other places a bit further a field.
Rother Valley Country Park - 18 hole and 9 hole par 3
Birley - 18 Hole Municipal
Tinsley - 18 Hole Municipal
Chesterfield - 18 Hole Municipal

There are loads of private course near you like Hallamshire, Abbeydale but you are talking big bucks to join

Follow the advice of the forum members, get prepared for hole n°1. Great 18th, with the 19th in the club house 10 yards away ;)

:) HI i've been dragged kicking and screaming (only joking) to quite a few golf courses with my boyfriend barlbrough,birley rother valley etc and i can honestly say that Tinsley golf course which we played quite recently is the one and only course i have enjoyed playing on
not to mention the only course i have managed to hit a few good balls :D nice clean course that even i would be only too happy to and play again.
:rolleyes: one bad point is that it is close to airport had a helicopter flying over us for most of the game:thumbsup:
