You might want to play some rounds at Notts Hollinwell, located 1.8 mi (2.9 km) from central Kirkby in Ashfield. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If Notts Hollinwell doesn't quite scratch your golfing itch, Alfreton Golf Club and Bulwell Forest Golf Club are all just a short drive away.
