The Rufford

Course was in great condition. We played from all the Grass Tees and all the greens were in great condition. There was no muddy areas.

Very good and enjoyable round!

Played early afternoon, pace was a little slow especially towards the 17th, but worth it for the beautiful hole that’s there!

Superb value for money!

Having arrived on holiday we were looking for a course not to far and good value for money this didn't disserpoint

Set in a woodland setting this course played fantastic, the condition of the course was 2nd to none something you would expect from a premium establishment at half the price

Play was somtimes slow due to the influx of 4 balls but sometimes that can't be helped.

Overall this is a fantastic course and location and will definitely be visiting again

Lovely steady course

Played rufford … it was a lovely course . After all the rain it was nice to get out again and where better than rufford forgiving course if you hit the fairways. Greens played really well , fairways also very good … only down side it is always a slow round no matter what time you play.. but after the game went to clubhouse for some good and a drink and the service there was fantastic .. true credit to the club .. catering and bar staff were lovely and food spot on … slow play but would definitely recommend people to play the course

Fantastic Course but very slow

Very impressed with the course and facilities. All obviously well looked after. Unfortunately our booking followed what was a very slow morning of groups of golfers - a 5 hour round was not what I was expecting on a Wednesday lunchtime (shouldn’t be anytime in my opinion). Some of the Astro footpaths laid on steep slopes also needs removing or cleaning as is very slimy and slippery and a real slip hazard. Other than that would certainly like to play the course again
