What the club says: Tapton Golf Course is situated on the outskirts of Chesterfield Derbyshire, it is the only municipal parkland golf course in the area boasting a full 18 hole demanding golf course, a testing 9 hole golf course and an 18 hole chip and putt challenge. Tapton Golf Course is fairly hard walking with steep gradients on a few fairways.

New owners at Tapton. Good investment on infrastructure as well as on the driving range and new Trackman set up. But the jury's out on the future of the course. No temp greens over winter. Unsurprisingly, many are virtually unputtable. The 9 hole Academy greens are in much better condition. Attention has gone into bunker maintenance and work around the fairways on both courses and there are noticeable improvements. However, much more needs to be done to see Tapton achieve it's undoubted potential. Membership prices have just increased substantially, and suitable investment will need to follow to justify them.

Tapton Park Review
Round played November 2024. The club has recently been taken over and lots of investment made into its facilities. A lot of online advertising has been made promoting the improvements and this was the reason I was eager to visit. I was extremely disappointed to see the state of the golf course. Fairways and greens were very patchy (and bare) and some of the greens full of disease. The issue the club now have is the greens will not recover whilst they continue to be played on! The bunkers were the same scruffy bunkers they have always been. The tees are in desperate need of improvement. The whole course still requires a lot of work. It seems the main investment has been in improving the driving range facilities and installing a new cafe / clubhouse. The old clubhouse is now closed and the main focus is the new driving range, cafe and play room. What an absolute waste, Tapton Park is a golf club, not a youth club or play centre!Reviewer Rating

Typical Tapton - New owners, no difference
First time to visit the new ‘clubhouse’, personally its feels very small and quite soulless, the café style works well for the driving range, but as a golf clubhouse its just not big enough.There’s no association or links to ‘Tapton Park Golf Club’, all the medal boards/ trophy boards and actual trophies are in the old clubhouse.
Personally, feels like Link Golf do not want Tapton Park Golf Club involved anymore.
The course in December’24, tee boxes are just mud strips now and will need some serious care to bring to them back to life.
The fairways are very muddy and full of divots, but as the course is open all year around, it certainly will be.
The greens are horrendous, full of divots, bumps, tyre tracks, disease all over the greens, some serious attention will be needed to bring into shape for the summer season.
Pace of play, was typically Tapton… one hour for 7 holes (very good), then for the remaining holes were I was stuck behind a group of four, who did not let me through for 11 holes – very frustrating and didn’t see any marshall either (waiting on every shot).
Presumably, Link Golf are only bothered about money in the tills and not the overall golf experience.
How are Link Golf going to address:
1) Pace of play
2) Repairing of fairway divots
3) Repairing of divots on the greens
4) Repairing disease on the greens

An Old Flame
First time I've played under the new ownership (Link Golf), some firm and definite plans in place to change the look and feel of the course and facilities. New trackman driving range will be a huge hit in the local area. On the Markham course, fairways and first cut generally ok, with clear differences between them.Bunkers - all need raking (1st last night just flat), with clear crisp edges to the bunkers (currently they look a touch over grown).
Greens - appear rough, patchy grass in places, looks like some disease in places, generally need more love and care on them, fairly slow in comparison to Stanedge greens.
Overall, with some love, care and attention in the right places, Tapton will be back up to the correct standard.

Really friendly staff
Phoned and booked a buggy but the course never got this but the staff bent over backwards to get us out on course. Fantastic quality for the fee payed. The chap who served us was behind us, told him we were stuck behind a group of younguns who didn't really know the etiquette as they were obviously just starting out and we let him through to have a word and explain. Just a shame the group who went back round the 4th couldn't be more understanding by firing the ball at us whilst we were waiting for the group of lads infront.Reviewer Rating

Very poor greens, too many temporary greens, this course is like this year after year and yet they do nothing about it, very poor management, plus they have just put the membership up by £10 a month, bloody disgusting.
