Good Challenge On Quality Course For A Very Reasonable Price.

On for a potential best ever round up until hole 9, but from there to end my game went dramatically down hill and left enough skid marks to give professional cleaners nightmares. Whilst preparing for shot 3 on 9, my trolley very nearly rolled/ran away from me as a result of me forgetting to apply the breaks, and although I managed to prevent this, I was aware of a bunch of people outside the clubhouse very loudly laughing, which put me off as I was paranoid that they were laughing at me for my trolley error, although I’m sure this wasn’t the case. Back 9 was mixed, but more bad shots than good, and as always so far during my 2 visits to Rufford...Absolute Nighmares on 16 and 17. But despite my frustrating incompetence, overall it’s a very good challenge on a quality course for a reasonable price, and that’s why I will keep coming back for more rounds and challenges.

Frist time playing here

What a great day we had at Rufford Park, from the moment we stepped into receeiption / pro shop to the last beer after the round. The pro was so helpful and the course is in great condition. Some holes look simple but very challenging. 17th par 3 down hill over water onto an island. is a most play. Looking forward to going back.

It’s doesn’t matter what the weather this is a top course to play whatever the weather with plenty of challenges for all levels of none professional golfers.

1st timers will definitely be back with colleagues

Been waiting since lockdown to play and well worth it. Great variety of holes but forgiving on wayward drives. Great greens and of course a really attractive course. Covid controls are good around the clubhouse and good welcome and advice by the Pro. Wasn't told we would be paired up so didn't find out until we arrived at the tee but the guys were really good fun.

Another great round at this course in the late evening with the sun setting over this sublime course.

Fairways generous and greens in great condition and the low flying geese added to the great experience.
