Morley Hayes is an excellent stay-and-play option in the Derbyshire countryside, combining four-star accommodation, two golf courses and several dining choices within one attractive parkland estate. Positioned between Derby and Nottingham and close to the M1 and A38, it works particularly well for golf groups looking for an easy UK break with everything on site. The Peak District can also be reached in around 20 minutes by car.

The AA four-star hotel has 32 bedrooms and suites, each with its own terrace or balcony overlooking the gardens or golf courses. Accommodation ranges from Executive and Superior rooms to larger suites and a Penthouse, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and luxury en-suite bathrooms included throughout. Selected suites add four-poster beds, separate lounges and larger bathrooms, making them a good option for golfers wanting a more premium stay.

Dining is a real strength at Morley Hayes. The resort has three restaurants, including the two AA Rosette Dovecote Restaurant, alongside the more relaxed Roosters and Spike Bar. This gives groups the flexibility to enjoy a special dinner one evening and something more informal after golf the next.

Golfers have the 18-hole Manor Course directly on the estate. The par-72 championship layout stretches to 6,789 yards from the white tees and provides the main challenge during a golf break. There is also the nine-hole, par-30 Tower Course, which is ideal for an extra round, beginners or golfers wanting to work on their short game. A refurbished 17-bay floodlit driving range and Golf Academy complete the practice facilities.

Another useful benefit for travelling golfers is the hotel's complimentary pre-bookable shuttle from East Midlands Airport, making Morley Hayes particularly convenient for groups arriving from elsewhere in the UK or overseas.

We recommend Morley Hayes for golf societies, couples and groups wanting quality accommodation, plenty of on-site dining and golf without daily transfers. Its Derbyshire location also makes it easy to combine the golf with visits to Derby, Nottingham or the Peak District.
