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.

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.
