Not tried the golf course but told it is good by those that enjoy the sport! Actually on the river bank there are two pubs. The navigation is the best serving good reasonably priced food 7 days a week. There is a dining area inside the pub and they also offer a bar menu for those who want to sit outside and do it casual. During the summer months you will see barges cruising past. The local swans are partial to a good feed of bread! Child friendly and there is a park on site for them to amuse themselves. The summer months also bring good barbeques on most week end nights.

I had the pleasure of staying at this excellent hotel/golf club last week. Morley Hayes is located…read moreon the A608 (Main Road), north-east of Derby. It is a hotel with two golf courses. They also have a gift and souvenir shop at the reception. I was in room 112, which was on the ground floor, which is a floor down from the reception. The bedroom came with a private verandah overlooking one of the golf courses. The room itself was very generous in terms of its floor space with a kingize bed and two sets of sofas. There was complimentary water, biscuits, tea infusions, coffee and hot chocolate. The bath room had a separate bath and shower cubicle with Molton Brown brand of cosmetics. The service was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We were supposed to meet clients for dinner in the centre of Derby and were ferried to and fro in a Landrover with the Morley Hayes branding on it. It is by far, one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in and if given an opportunity, I would prefer to stay here again. As with everywhere else, I sincerely hope they continue to maintain their levels of service in the days to come.

Ever since I first dabbled into the world of Crazy Golf at Alton Towers, I have been hooked. There…read moreis just something about a group of adults with miniature putters and different coloured plastic balls walking around on fake grass that both amuses and entertains me greatly. When putting together a Weekly Yelp on fun things to do in the city, I spotted Mohamade A's review of this place and bookmarked it for something new to do on a Sunday. After a mad Friday night and busy Saturday, I just wanted to get out of house and do something fun (but not too intensive). Mini golf seemed to be the perfect low energy, silly activity for me and Dan to enjoy. First thing to note, Star City can be accessed by bus but offers plentiful free parking if you plan on driving. I haven't been here in a few years and was surprised to see quite a few newer businesses here (including at least a couple of independents). Adventure Island is at the front of the building and easy to spot with it's clear signage. As we had to get to the supermarket before it closed (ROCK'N'ROLL), we opted to do 18 holes instead of the full course. There are two different courses to choose from and you can do one for £6.45, the full 36 for £10.95 or there are combo deals for bowling and lazer tag as well. We decided on the "Lost Hut Trail" and off we went! Thus proceeded 45 minutes of frustration, fun and giggles around the course. In retrospect, we wish we had done both or opted for the "Hidden Cove" course (which boasts a volcano in the middle), but we will be back to try this at some point. It's of note that the venue has a bar (for golf/beer times) and does a 2-4-1 offer on a Wednesday. It would make a fun place for a date or a birthday party. Yeah, it's not high brow entertainment... but if you want to challenge someone to a duel - there are worse ways than with a miniture putter and a brightly coloured plastic ball. Recommended.

We thought it was going to be empty since it didn't look like anyone was going in or out by the entrance. We were suprised it was full of people. From couples to families.

We were lucky with the weather and that it wasn't too busy. Decent course I think, although not much to compare to. Its a Par 3 course so all holes were par 3. The car parking cost £1.50 - although after playing golf, we went to another part of Heaton Park and parked in another car park - but kept the car park ticket/token so didn't need to pay again - although there was no one there to check anyway. Back to the golf (pitch and putt). We went on weekend so was £6. You can hire clubs - was told beforehand it was £10 but he just instead took some ID had and kept that. Golf balls were 50p each but he just lent us a couple each. We came around 2 on a Saturday. Bit too busy. Only a couple behind us and they played similar pace. Was a group in front of us with father and 2 young children - had to wait for them a bit but no too bad. One of the issues with Pitch and Putt - especially with people not that good at golf (Inc. me) so ball could go anywhere! Any direction, any distance. Sometimes I hit it about 5 meters, sometimes more like about 40! When we finished was much busier. 3 groups including a group with about small small children. Saw one group overtake them and just skipped a hole.
