Have played this course 4 or 5 times now. Excellent course in great condition. Staff really helpful and always tried to get me on the course before my tee time if I have arrived early.

Most recent visit not so good, got stuck behind a 4 ball playing really slow and would nit let us through despite the course ahead being clear. It got to the stage where there was 3 groups waiting yo tee off

Excellent

This is probably one of my favourite courses. The layout is well thought out and uses the natural contours. The tees and greens were very good however the fairways this time could do with a little work. Overall an excellent course that I will be playing again.

Enjoyable

Nice play in nice condition, was pretty busy but half term week so that’s understandable. Greens in nice condition and subtle slopes and breaks. A little bit up and down but not a really tough walk.

Slow play poor attitude

Played a number of time but left this time really disappointed! 2.25 to play 9 holes slow play was an understatement!

What we were really disappointed with was the attitude of the lady on reception, really ooir!!! Nonchalant to the point of saying “what do you want me to do about it”

These remarks came after us advising after completing 9 holes and it being that slow, the 2 ball in front skipped the back 9 to play the front 9 again....

Slow play and poor attitude

We have played the course 4 times now with no issues, however today we left very disappointed. 2 hours 25min to play the first 9 holes the two ball in front were that frustrated they jumped back on the first hole after 9.

We came off after 9 and spoke to the lady on reception who was most unhelpful I would go so far to say no Nonchalant! What do you want me to do was her response!

The course is in good condition and as previously stated we have never had an issue but this time poor attitude and slow play ruined a day off work, and we only played 9 holes!

Very nice course

Beautiful course, lovely layout and some really nice holes. The 17th is one of the best par 3’s you will play, brilliant. Course gets a little boggy after a lot of rain but for the most part it is fine. Well looked after and a good setup all round.

Excellent course - definitely recommend

Had a great round at Rufford Park. Excellent value for money and easy to book. The course is very picturesque, set in parkland. Well spaced out so very little noise from fellow players on other holes. Great variety of holes - over water/parkland/up and down fairways and undulating greens etc. Made the round enjoyable and challenging at the same time. Would recommend without hesitation and will definitely return.
