The hotel is stunning and food was stunning. Our rooms were immaculate. Only gave 4 stars though as spike bar closes at 8. We were informed it was open till late and had sports on the screen. The owners were immense though and happily dropped us off in Derby where we were able to have a few drinks. Staff couldn't do enough. They were helpful and easy going . The rooms are massive.

Rooms clean and spacious, ours had a great view of the 4th and 5th holes. Food in the Dovecote was outstanding, really good quality. Would not hesitate to recommend or go back to this resort.

On arriving at the hotel we were able to check in straight away (10:30), which was a pleasant surprise as you normally have to wait until the afternoon. Although the course was a bit boggy in places, due to the amount of rain, it was still playable. The Spike bar has a good selection of beers and the bar prices are reasonably priced. We had the superior Twin Rooms, which were very spacious and clean and had a good size bathroom. Our evening meal was in the Dovecote restaurant and the food was amazing, the staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough for you. Overall this is an excellent venue for golfers and non-golfers, will certainly return as this has been one of the best venue we had been too.

All the staff in all departments were very helpful and courteous and with a good sense of humour. The rooms were spacious, clean and well appointed. We had a good night's sleep with no extraneous noises. The only small niggle we had was the limited menu in the restaurant. Although with 5 choices, fish, chicken, duck, steak (£3 extra) and a veggie, it did cover most bases. The quality of the food was excellent. Bar prices were a bit high but no more than you would expect for a quality hotel, £4 for Pedigree, just short of £5 for Peroni. All in all the best overnight stay we have had anywhere. We will definitely be back.

unfortunately on both days, we had very slow groups in front. makes the experience quite frustrating. day 1 nearly 5 hours. Quite a large group of ladies having an awayday 2, 4.5 hours. the terrain is quite a comfortable walk. no real reason for such slow play.

Gently undulating fairways in excellent condition - a comfortable walk with no hills. Although the greens had recently been cored and sanded, they were all flat and very true. Coming from a club with a links style course we found the fallen leaves a bit troublesome when looking for our balls but that’s to be expected at this time of year. Beautiful views across the course and surrounding countryside and the herd of deer were an unexpected treat! We’ve already recommended the venue to friends. First round on Sunday was quick (3 1/2 hrs) but Monday morning was a slow one (4 3/4 hrs), the members in front of us weren’t in a hurry and never showed any intention of letting us through, even though, as I discovered later, they had been asked to by staff.

Morley Hayes is a well designed course with some interesting holes, you would do well to play to your handicap. There are plenty of other facilities including a driving range and 9 hole course. Recommended for an overnight group booking.

Course is long and difficult. Lots to think about and plenty of approach shots needed accuracy. Not sure why but the greens on the front 9 were in bad condition compared to the back 9. The front 9 were slow and bobbly. Overall the course though is lovely. Speed on Saturday was fine but a bit slow on the Sunday.

We had booked one buggie for the sunday and two buggies for the monday via YGT but on arrival at the pro shop none had been booked. Who's fault we don't know, could be their's, could be YGT. However, despite being very busy with most of their buggies being out they managed to sort us out for both days. Big thanks to the pro shop staff for that. Although I have rated the difficulty as average, it is a course that will make you think and you need to know your club distances. The greens were average for speed, they were softish and accepted a ball landing without to much run on. Unlike it's neighbour, Breadsall Priory, it is not a hilly course and can be walked quite easily. I am looking forward to playing it again.
