Interesting course with lots of variety. Would be good to play in the summer when the trees are in leaf.

Private members club, which is a pleasure to play in the summer, but might get a bit boggy in the winter. Mostly tree lined, with water coming into play on one hole. Very good mixture of holes. Large practice field, nice modern clubhouse.

Steven B rated 4 out of 5 - Sep 8 2008
Good layout and course design makes this an interesting challenge. Perhaps a few hundred yards short of being very tough, this course can never the less be a tricky customer and downright punishing if your ball striking is off colour.

The main defence Retford offers are the tee shots they're always tree lined and often very tight.

The 7th hole probably sums Retford up - only 300 yards long but a 90 degree dogleg. A hole which can be viewed as an opportunity to pick up a stroke - but it can just as easily be a card wrecker.

I also have to mention the greens which are nothing less than superb, fast receptive and full of tricky slopes and undulations.
