*Breadsall Priory, Derbys – Home of two contrasting 18 hole layouts with the Priory the main attraction.The Priory is a mature parkland layout and has been thrilling golfers since 1977. Something of a rollercoaster of a track – it is very much up and down and takes full advantage of the undulating terrain, featuring several dramatic elevated tees including one perched high over the road leading into the venue.
