Course is a mess

Fist off I’d like to get this out of the way, the fairways were very nice and in good shape, staff is always friendly as usually but Jesus, the tee boxes were flooded, not mowed and all the tee markers were up front. The greens had huge dead patches and a lot of them. Putting was pretty much impossible on most greens. And the price they’re changing now is about $10 more than when the course was actually in good shape less than a year ago. Also the fact that there’s no twilight times, the fees stay the same most of the day. I liked seeing the renovations they were doing but they definitely need to work on the tee boxes and greens before anything else

Wow

So I consider Sherwood my home course. I play it more than Airways, Dragonfly, or even Belmont. The course is in disarray. They’re doing work on the putting greens so don’t expect to practice. The range was closed. 14/18 greens were horrendous. It was as bad as putting on the moon. Oh and about half of the tee boxes were either hardpan dirt or just flooded mud. Sad to see this course go down hill. After we played the first nine, all amenities were closed with no food or drink sales. Terrible

Call before you book

I have been playing this course for over 30-years and this is the worst shape it has ever been in. Most of the greens are patchy because of the fungus and they are redoing their putting green. The tee boxes were so wet and muddy that I actually fell while swinging on the first tee. When this course is in good condition, it is awesome to play. But if it is so bad that people are telling you about it in the parking lot before you even tee off, I would find someplace else to play until they get it back into good shape.

Great course, pretty narrow so hit it straight. The greens were in rough shape, they were about to aerate that evening. Always a good time though. Lots of shade on the hot days.

Worst greens in the valley!!!!

I’d give it ZERO STARS if it was possible. Been playing this course since highschool and it’s never been this bad. Not worth the $60 green fee. Was getting mud on my ball on the green. Just horrible, hope they make changes soon cuz I’d hate to never play here again

GREENS ARE AWFUL NOW

I'm so disappointed the greens were awful it was awful, and then one of our friends got sick and couldn't go and I still had to pay for his golf, so I may rethink golf now. We should be able to cancel up until the tee time. But again we gotf out there are all the time and not sure what has happened but the GREENS are so bad, don't go, not worth $20 even.

The course is in horrible condition

We played today and was not advised that the greens were under repair. All the greens are in horrible condition. They’ve aerated them and they are bumpy and full of some type of fungus. They are unplayable. We payed full price and was very disappointed.

I recommend that you don’t play there. I believe it’s going to take several months to get the greens in playable condition. The tee boxes are overgrown too.

Unplayable Greens

The greens are under repair per the sign. The course shouldn’t b open. The price should b $20 with this situation. Standing water with mud on fairways and rough. Guy mowing mowed between me and the tee box and missed where he should b mowing and followed us hole to hole when very few were golfing. I will not b back till these problems r fixed. One of the highest prices in the Valley for Seniors.

Horrible Shape

I’ve been playing Sherwood Forest since my College days in the 1970’s and I really love The Golf Course it’s such an awesome layout but it’s in such horrible shape the greens are trash and overall the Course is in absolutely terrible shape.

I will no longer be playing Sherwood until they can get their Course back to acceptable shape!

Decent course, great people

Per usual, I found the crew running the proshop and snack bar to be some of the most awesome people I've interacted with at a course. One complaint would be that they don't have any practice greens right now because they are riddled with weeds and not much grass. Not the best first impression. When on the course the first couple greens left a bit to be desired but as the course went on it was better. Some areas were heavily overwatered whereas other areas were heavily underwatered. Some dialing in of these areas would go a long way in the playability of the course. But really, those are my only complaints. Got paired with some great dudes from J&S Pools and had a great overall course experience!

Course has great scenery and several challenging holes.

This is my home course that I play the most. I've purchased several monthly passes when I was able to play several times a week. Eric and Rick manage the course and are always present and ready to help others with fittings, tournaments and apparel. Bob and Joe are always there to help with tee times, fittings and great food!

The recent heat wave has unfortunately done a number on the course for right now. The poor greens took the brunt of the heat. Hopefully they’ll be back to their wonderful shape soon.

Tee Boxes

Most if not all tee boxes were uncut and rough. Too many un-repaired ball divots on greens. I was disappointed with hole #1 green. Too rough This green was not in service for a while to construct it to new not too long ago and it was not in very good shape. A few other greens were the same.
