What the club says: Noted for being the oldest golf club in Nottingham, Golf has been played at Bulwell since the 1870s, although the club has only existed in its present state since 1902. Set on mature heath land, it’s noted for its undulating land and has many tight fairways and old trees. Five demanding par 3s increase the challenge of playing the course.

It’s not a long course – measuring 5826 yards from the White tees but it still provides a challenge for even the most competent of golfers. Bulwell Forest Golf Club celebrated its centenary in 2002. And until recently it was a municipal club, but in 2004 the Club negotiated a long term agreement with the City Council.

Reviewed Dec 29 2023

Played the course just after a biblical downpour of rain. The fairways handled it very well. Greens had standing water but nothing could be done about that. We had to play off 'mats' which are fine however charging £3.50 feels a con. No mention of it on the website prior to booking which turned a £15 round into £18.50. Either include it in the round fee initially or hand them out for free.

Other than that a good testing, undulating course.

Mr

Course in good condition but greens slow due to overnight rain. The staff were pleasant and the food was to a good standard. Excellent course for winter as drainage is superb. No standing water despite heavy rain.

Variety of holes and terrain, excellent greens. Course being allowed to grow beyond 2nd cut so accuracy and plenty of balls essential. Temperament testing !!!

Very friendly course, once you start playing you forget you're
right next to major road. Excellent lay out with some tricky holes, and the greens were in really good condition.

Excellent course

This was a really good course considering the weather it was in excellent condition. Front nine is a bit short and the back nine quite long so something for everyone be they beginners or experienced. Very helpful staff and nice clubhouse, Course does need some signs to point you in the right direction.
