golfing in Nottingham on a Stag Weekend
Golfing in Nottingham
Golfing is a popular stag weekend activity. It’s a chance to get out into the open air, take a stroll on the green and appreciate the scenery. Whether you swing like a pro or like a child at crazy golf, this much demanded stag weekend activity is sure to be a hit with the guys. From the venues we have offered in the past, there are plenty of stags who are choosing golf as an activity for their Nottingham Stag weekend and here we look at the benefits of this sport and this fantastic location.
Why golf?
Golf is the sport of gentlemen and has been around for years. The game as we know it today is thought to have been conceived in Scotland, where there are many fantastic and famous courses such as the notable green in St. Andrews. The reason golf is so popular with stag weekends is that it’s a way for you to chat, catch up and have a laugh which is what stag weekends are all about. As stag weekends become more popular now than stag nights, golf is a perfect way to pace the action. Too much running around and activity during the day might leave you and the guys out of breath for the evening, and you might well have another 2 or 3 days and nights ahead of you!
What can you expect?
Nottingham has some excellent golf courses and on arrival you will make your way to the green with your clubs for some nine or eighteen holes action. There you’ll make your way around the course with your buddies and experience the joy of distance shots with your driver and calculated putting shots as you compete your way around the green. Expect plenty of fresh air, stunning scenery and hope for good weather!
Why Nottingham?
Famous for its Robin Hood legend, Nottingham is also fast becoming a sought after location for a stag weekend. With great shopping, and a bustling night life it’s no wonder that more stags are heading here for their last weekend of freedom. Nottingham is easily accessible in the Midlands from the M1 motorway as well as having direct train lines connecting London, Leeds, Birmingham Manchester and Liverpool. In addition to Golfing, Nottingham is also a popular location for other stag day time activities such as paintballing, Quad biking, clay pigeon shooting and even a high ropes forest walk course.
Nottingham Nightlife
Nottingham has plenty of different areas to eat and drink so whether you’re a rowdy bunch of stags or are looking for the more independent pubs for a quiet but good quality drink then Nottingham has something for everyone. The Old Market Square in the Centre of Nottingham is a good place to start your evening with cafes and restaurants and some bars. You can then step up the pace by checking out the Lace Market for a more upscale and modern take on restaurants and bars in the city.
From swinging your club to swinging your hips on the dance floor, golfing in Nottingham is a perfect combination for a memorable stag weekend!

Tourist Information for Chesterfield
Chesterfield is a historic market town and is situated north of Derby near the rivers Rother and Hipper. Traveling to Chesterfield whether by road or rail is fairly straight forward. Chesterfield is Derbyshire's largest town and is located just off the A617 which is Junction 29 of the M1.There are train main land train services to London, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bournemouth and Edinburgh ,Liverpool, Nottingham and Norwich.
Chesterfield is best known for its "Crooked Spire" at the Church of Saint Mary and All Saints. The leaning characteristic is believed to be the result of the absence of skilled craftsmen, possibly due to the Black Death as this happened only 12 years previous. There have been other reasons given however. One is that the spire was so shocked to learn of the marriage of a virgin in the church that it bent down to get a closer look. It is said that if this were to happen again, the spire will straighten and return to its true position. Another saying is that a Blacksmith from Bolsover mis-shod the Devil, who then leaped over the spire in pain, knocking it out of shape.
Chesterfield received its market charter in 1204 from King John and now has one of the largest open air markets in Britain and the stalls are either side of the Market Hall, which in its own right, is a historical building. In the middle of town there is a collection of old and narrow streets that make up "The Shambles", which houses one of Britain's oldest pubs.
There are plenty of shopping opportunities in Chesterfield. Vicar Lane was redeveloped in 2000 and was made into a pedestrianised, open-air shopping area. This resulted in most of the existing buildings being demolished. In the process two new streets were created in their place and there are now plenty of major brands, such as Woolworths, Marks and Spencers, Co-Op and Argos to choose from.
Other developments include a large area, between the Low Pavements and New Beetwell Street being completely flattened in the 1980’s to build "The Pavements" shopping centre, better known by local residents as "The Precinct". This is where you will find the larger shops including Somerfield, Boots and WH Smiths. It has entrances opposite Chesterfield Market and also escalators lead down to New Beetwell Street.
There is also a multi-storey car park which was built at the same time. Chesterfield Library's main entrance is also located just outside the Pavements and at another exit you will find the local McDonald's. Despite all this development, Chesterfield has retained its character and much of its town centre from the pre-war era.
Chesterfield has lots to offer in the Leisure and Entertainment Industry. The Queens Park is located within the town centre and on the outskirts of the park is the Queens Park Leisure Center which has a good size swimming pool and gym. There are also several indoor courts (for a variety of sports) and outdoor tennis courts too. There are plenty of Gymnasium Clubs for those wishing to keep fit. All of this plus Bowling, Golf and even Ice Skating, in Sheffield, which is only about 20 minute’s drive from Chesterfield.
Travel time to Sherwood Forest is only 30 minutes by car. There are several night clubs located around the town, predominantly towards "Holywell Cross Car Park" and there are many bars scattered around the town including the infamous "Brampton Mile" which has 13 pubs on a one mile section of Chatsworth Road. It is traditional that anyone "doing the mile" has at least one drink in each pub.
The Winding Wheel is a multi-purpose venue, hosting concerts, exhibitions, conferences, dinners, family parties, dances, banquets, wedding receptions, meetings, product launches and lectures. Famous acts to appear recently include The Manfreds, Patrick McGuiness and even The Sooty Show
