Subs for gents were £1/1/0 and ladies 10/6. Visitors’ fees were 1/- a day. Sunday play was not allowed. The station at Millersdale was 3 miles from the course.
The following report appeared in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph Saturday 20th May 1916; "Tideswell Golf Club Dissolved - Tideswell Golf Club has been dissolved, and out of the balance in hand it has been decided to give two guineas to the Manchester Infirmary, two guineas to go to the fund on behalf of local men serving at the front, and one guinea to the Home Guards. War conditions and the loss of members have brought about the end of the club."
The course is marked on the Bartholomew Half Inch Map 1940-47 below. The golf course had long gone by this time.
