Enjoyable Round

Course was in good condition for the time of year and considering the recent bad weather played well.

Greens was smooth and surprisingly quick for March

Pace of play was steady but being a 2 ball on a Sunday was expected. Overall Enjoyable Round and will be back

Great course played many times before the course was in great condition but was disappointed that all greens were temp green’s because of a frost the ground was soft under foot so didn’t see the issue with not using the greens also there was no mention of this but the person on reception on arrival

The course was well maintained. Bunkers were neat with lots of sand. One of the best courses I have played during the winter months.

Great Course But…

As much as I love this course, we arrived to find out it was 18 temporary greens. I understand that this is why the course plays so well in Spring/ Summer but there was no information listed on the website showing that it’s all temporary greens which was a little frustrating even for the price we paid. There were several 2 balls in front of us and as much as I appreciate they were seniors, the pace of play was pretty dismal and we were waiting on every tee box for quite a while which does make the golf a little less fun.

Other than that, the course played fantastic as always. I highly rate this place and I will definitely be returning (once full course is in play).

One of the best courses/landscape in Nottinghamshire

Only thing I was disappointed with was the winter greens. Will be back in the summer for sure. Always enjoy coming back to play.

Stunning.

Lovely course surrounded by nature. Despite all the rain we were still on normal greens and there was no standing water on the course at all!

Love this course, and £12.99 was a bargain!

Wet weather
Walked

Misty Rufford

Unlucky with the weather, very misty to begin and couldn't see the course layout / greens / flags.

Fairways were a bit bare and whilst the greens were pretty smooth, they did have the odd bump etc
