Rufford Park Golf & Country Club

Lovely golf course in great condition .

Took 5 hours to complete round due to Society Four Balls on course .

Good value

Friendly

Like the title said the course is amazing, however there were a few areas that let it down for me and my golf partner.

I would say to anyone to play I however have played it and wont again unfortunately

First impressions when we got there very grand and very welcoming buetiful setting with lovely veiw up the first fairway and of the ninth green.

We got there early to grab a bacon butty and brew before our planned tee time. Waited thirty minutes to find out we had been forgotten about. This was rectified pretty soon after questioning it.

We hired a buggy electronic score card fitted was a very nice touch, and really enjoyed the first few holes, as we got further round the course started to notice a considerable amount of divots on fairways not replaced and not repaired I realise this is players not having consideration however needs adressing.

By the end of the front nine we were behind a two ball that was stuck behind two 4 balls from what I could see and became very stop start. So much so that the gane no longer flowed when we finnished our round we mentioned to a young lad on the front desk area whos response was bellitleing at best, making out that when he plays pro tournaments he takes 5-6 hours to play a round....

This spoiled it for me and as nice as the course is it could do with a marshal just to give people a little prod to replace divots and respect other players.

My friend and I really enjoyed playing at Rufford. The course was in great condition and even though there were quite a few golfers around we managed to get round in good time, without any delays on the tees. The weather was sunny and the course was drying out as we played. The staff in the pro shop and the bar were very friendly and attentive. Overall the experience was very good.

Course in great condition especially considering the time of year.

Food and service first class.

Only downside was the waiting on each tee

Played this course on my own and the staff and members were very helpful and friendly would not hesitate to play here again even at full price shame the signature 17th was on temporary tee but that's down to the time of year and not course condition as that was spot on

Disappointing to find that temporary greens were in play when the course is recognised as one that dries particularly well, and appeared to be unnecessary in the main?

Played in January. Course very good condition particularly for time of year. Greens pretty good too with only one winter green in play. Staff & members all friendly

This course is always well looked after and can be played all year round.

Yes, there are the odd winter greens or hole set ups but that just protects the main greens for the better weather months! There are 2 par there's that are set up different to any other time of year but these are still tricky and the one temp green is as good as the others! The other is a different tee position but it's still a test over the water!

The only down side was that the greens had been treated with a blue/green treatment of some sort. This got all over your hands and clothes but has washed out.

It can get congested around the middle part of both 9's as the par 3's are close together, but soon spreads out again.

Still in execellent condition for time of year, green running well, on the proper greens. Friendly staff and good amenities.

Well worth a visit..great layout fun course

Well Presented course with many varied holes and plenty or elevation changes. Well worth a try.

Really good layout of the course and some good challenging holes.

Breath taking course, well kept with very friendly staff and members. The 17th is particularly stunning
