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.

Great course

Always liked Rufford and I was a member here a few years ago, played yesterday for first time in about a year and realised I’d missed the place. Like every hole and always have a good round here, course in good condition for time of year, off winter tees but all greens were on! Pace of play was good. Finally made a birdie on the 17th their signature hole! Would recommend to anyone, nice club house with shop and driving range too.

Replace divots please

Lots of divots in the fairways

Course should give players a notice to possibly use fairway mats

Some players should understand 'ready ' golf when playing later in winter to help pace of play

Keep up with group in front and in front of group behind

Four ball in front of us had a 2 hole gap to next

Winter Golf at Rufford Park Golf and Country Club

It’s a great course but we were on mainly temp greens and temp tees, it to be expected at this time of year. Still a great course and the view from the club house is fantastic. I’m sure we will play here again.

Winter course

I would just like to say that The course is fantastic in the summer, However, we played on Saturday 18th Jan and there were 9 temp greens out of 18 and this was not stated prior to booking. The temp greens are unplayable and unemployable so if I was a member here I’d cancel my membership as it is not enjoyable. The normal greens were good and I don’t know why they play temp greens when the greens look fine and if groundsman looked after them like at other courses then I see no reason for the temp greens other than it creates less work for the green staff. Also, the four in front of us were so slow and talked too much at the tees making them holding up about 4 groups behind them and they didn’t seem to care. We actually heard a group behind us talk to the starter telling him to tell us that they were due to tee off before us so they can tee off ahead of us which is terrible! I will not be rushing back here in a hurry!
