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.

Great Features

Beautiful course among oak trees and more. Great staff and groundkeepers. Stacy is doing an amazing job getting course back in excellent condition. Only major issue are the fairways. All 18 need redoing with new grass and soft ground. With most fairways the ground is hard as a rock. Golfers need to get divot when the ball is struck. I believe Stacy will get the course in excellent condition in due time For the cost to play Sherwood it’s a no brainer. WORTH THE MONEY. The course alone is worth the price of admission. Can not get a better deal!

Thanks Stacy and all who work at Sherwood Golf Course. You are doing a great job. Be safe everyone.

It actually looks like a forest. Many holes with different challenges. Good friendly staff. Didn't mind the check-in and other amenities outside. The pull cart had big wheels which is good for the terrain. Easy to push. .

Sloooowwwww

Have not played here in 15ish years.

Delightful track. Pretty good condition.

But it was the slowest, most plodding round of my year. And i have played 85ish rounds in 2020.

No excuse for letting 2 or 3 groups ahead of us turn a 10:30 tee time — right on schedule! — into a five- hour slog.

Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your round. Thank you for playing Sherwood Forest Golf Course.

Be ready to wait

I’ve never in my thirty years of playing golf waited more than 10 minutes for our turn when having a tee-time. Today, this club made us wait over an HOUR to tee off from our original tee-time. No apologies, no explanations other than lack of carts. Don’t use Covid or any other reason for this. I’ve played plenty of courses during covid without these issues. It’s just plain lack of course management and planning. If you only have a certain number of carts than plan for that. Save yourself the headache and find somewhere else to play.

Walked

Tree lined

I was late making my reservation so got a 12:30pm tee time which was fine because the weather was fairly cool. It was walking only because of the Covid 19 restrictions which wore us out as we quit after 9 holes. It was a good little course and good for practice. I would have preferred foam in the cups rather than raised cups. We enjoyed the coutse/

Overall Opinion

Generally enjoyed the course. Most greens need attention. Due to Covid, no golf carts but push carts are provided, They need lots of work, not clean or well cared for. Personnel were accommodating but did not provide any hand wipes or disinfectant. May return but not soon!

Better hit it straight!

I made the trek down from Modesto to check out this course, tucked at the base of the Kings Canyon Park. I consider myself a pretty straight hitter of the ball and tight courses don't bother me much, but there were some holes out there from the Blue tees that made me feel claustrophobic but I enjoyed the challenge. Staff was very accommodating getting everyone checked in amid the COVID situation and making sure everyone was aware to play ready golf on the course. Conditions of the course were fine considering the situation. I really enjoyed my time here and hope to get back soon.
