Great winter course

One of the few courses that play well in the winter, only issue is the slow play which, in the winter you run out of daylight hours to get round in time before it gets dark

Lovely Course, but slow play

Really lovely course and always in great condition. The only thing that spoils it is the slow pace of play. 4 hours for a 2 ball not great, sadly it always seems to be a problem at Rufford with 3 balls and 4 balls not showing proper etiquette in letting 2 balls through even when stacking up on the tees. Even noticed a 5 ball playing which could have been the reason for the holdups today.

Great Round at Rufford

Played the course when visiting the area, shot my best round. Started the day with a torrent of rain, first hole was damp, next 17 were in glorious sunshine. The 17th hole is the signature and very much a challenge. Worth it and will come back to play.

It’s like a home cooked meal but somethings just missing.

Lovely little course. Front 9 really enjoyed back 9 just wanted the same or more unfortunately it wasn’t as exciting.

Greens bang on and fairways as good as can be with the summer we had.

Definitely worth a round for the price which I think matches the quality.

Great course and well kept

Fantastic course and ideal for a mid handicapper to enjoy.

The only annoyance is the road approach to the course, whilst the Ford is closed. But not the course’s issue

Great course but other aspects could have been better

Great course and conditions were very good, however, pace of play was very slow. Waiting 5+ mins on most tee boxes and groups in front could barely hit a golf ball. The man in the proshop/reception was missable and had very little time for us a bit more of a welcome and smile wouldn’t go a miss.

Ruffled - A gem

Great day. Great breakfast was a good start and it just got better. Course was dry but staff were sluicing some of the greens. We loved it. Everyone was so friendly. Try it you won’t regret it.

Course in good condition, but greens average

Enjoyable round at Rufford in the sunshine. Pace of play was ok and course was in good condition. The greens were average compared to other local courses. We would have eaten in the clubhouse, but the kitchen closed at 3pm.
