Good Improvements

Returning to course after a few years. Great improvements being done to the course. Greens in good shape. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Pace of play was a little slow, particularly on the back 9.

Visible enhancements to the course and proerty

Built within the wilderness of tree and hills, this course brings some interesting challenge's and surprises. It has been a few years since our last round, and the owners commitments to improvements related to course playability and facilities was nice to see. The layout can be a bit quirky, however it does not take long to understand what is needed to play the course. Many of the greens were is very nice condition, with the ground's staff hard at these new enhancements. We will play this course again the year.

Better than it was

Course was in better condition than it was when I stopped playing it a few years ago. There is much work happening for further improvements. The greens rolled better than I ever remember them being. Happy to have played and will book again in this future

Full price it’s a bit much for this place tee boxes aren’t very nice but its layout is tough and pretty nice. I think renting the chalets is the best way to get your value

Good value

Super friendly staff and a fun course to play. Hills make for some blind shots but it wasn’t too busy on the day I played so it wasn’t an issue. Would recommend!

Pace of Play

The only problem was pace of play. Not a 5 minute wait at some tees but but 5 groups backed up at the 10th hole. One group actually decided to go back and play the front 9 again rather than wait. It didn't get much better until we were on the 16th and the problem groups were off the course.

Having said that, the course and the staff were excellent and this is a great value. Great layout, very playable, fun greens and lots of variations.

Thanks.

Great round, not to far from the city.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The course was in very good shape, very playable. Fun layout with lots of fun and challenging greens.

Pace of play was a bit of an issue on the back nine. We arrived at the 10th tee as the 5th group and that hole. One group got frustrated and went to play the front 9 again. By the 13th hole we were still waiting as much as 15 minutes to tee off. When the Marshall drove by he told us it was bunched up bc of the weekend crowd and it's to be expected, warnings had been issued. It didn't really improve until the 17th, when offending groups were off the course.

They had great sandwiches and cold beer and the pro shop was well stocked with nice merch. Adequate washroom facilities on-course. Next time I'll try it on a week day.

Hidden gem

Sherwood is a hidden gem! While the course conditions floundered for a few years it’s in fantastic shape this year. I have never seen so many grounds staff working away each time I have been there. Pro shop staff are excellent. A little more work on a few cart path areas and re do the bunkers and this course will be top rate.

A hidden challenging beauty

This place has surprised us very much. Hilly like some of the courses at home in Switzerland. The fairways narrow, many obstacles, the greens in good condition if a bit slow. Very friendly staff, we were even escorted to tee #1. Thank you, we will be back even though we live a bit further away (Shelburne).
