Lovely day, lovely play

There was a lot of trees, slow play due to crowding, good friendly service, challenging holes, some of the ravine's caught me off guard on a few holes, but it was a lovely day with lovely play, 3rd time playing course.

Where's the grass?

Right off the bat, I want to say how warmly I was greeted by the staff, they were very well organized and helpful. I was paired with a father & son who knew the course (my 1st time) and we had a great time playing as a three-some. Things moved along nicely and overall, it was a fun round.

However, the grass on the fairways was very sparse and it was bumpy and inconsistent wherever you stood. Even if you thought you hit a good drive, you'd be hitting most of your shots off bare ground. Thankfully, it was still 'winter rules' and we took full advantage of lift clean and place. Greens were in pretty nice shape and the area around the greens was by & large well cared for.

All that said, I would play again having a better idea of what to expect. It's an older course that needs a pretty thorough revamp, though.

In the Woods!

Great course and Staff! Awesome course that makes you think about keeping your driver in the bag if you don't hit straight. If you end up in the trees laying up is your only option besides using the 'foot wedge'. Club selection off the Tee is critical. I had a great day and the hot dogs were perfect!

Great employees!

The course has improved dramatically in the last year. The greens could still use some work, very bumpy.

My issue is with the women’s restroom. The lighting is terrible and the lights flicker constantly. I have mentioned it many times but nothing has been fixed.

It would also be nice to have some women’s apparel to buy. I’d love to have a shirt with the course name on it. Socks and pink towels aren’t much.

All of the employees are very friendly and helpful! Kudos to Bob, Dave and Cassie!

Better than expected

The last time I played Sherwood Forest a couple of years ago, the course was in complete shambles. It’s still an average muni style course but it was playable from tee to green.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much the place has improved since my last visit here.

Fairways are heavily lined with trees so I’ll probably give it a go when I’m in the area during the hot summers

Long drive for a fair course

Challenging course due to trees on every fairway. Most of the holes are short, so play from the blue tees to make it more of a challenge. Greens are not very good. Expect lots of bumps and an erratic surface. The staff are very friendly (everyone I came in contact was very pleasant; I spoke with 5 different staff members)

Great for beginners . Good for pros to practice shaping drives

Not much to this course. Built on an Old orchard farm , surrounded by other Orchards farms. Tee boxes, fairways are Hard packed soil , so good roll out on any biffed shot as long as you keep it straight. Greens are fast and dont hold any shots from the fairway or rough unless you’re flopping a shot from 50+ft in the Air. Good amount of left and right dog legs that can help you practice a Draw or fade drive.

Had to leave after nine holes. Pace of play was horrible, for how small. Probably cause of all the amateur players. Range balls are horrible, good thing alot of people lose their balls into the range.
