Bulwell Forest GC is not just an amazing Winter Lynx course which is open when most are closed to bad weather. But an excellent summer course to, very tight and very challenging, hit it straight or be punished.
The clubhouse facilities are great with excellent food and views of the course with a fully stocked pro shop and great advise from the pro.

Positioned near main road your view for the first 6 holes is on an elevated hill.Some holes blind so accuracy in your shots is vital as balls can be easily lost in the bush.Course markers could be better laid out and improved though as directions at times were unclear.Overalla anenjoyable game dusted off a few cobwebs.

renowned for being a good test for all abilities, my dad and i played last saturday for £10 each after 1 oclock, i presume this was twilight rate. Course in fantastic condition, and has stood up very well to the amount of rain we've had recently. Greens, as usually noted were superb especially for the time of year.
One of the problems faced at times is trouble with balls being stolen on the course but had no trouble this time and would highly recommend the course for players of all abilities. The clubhouse we visited after the round was clean and well-kept with good food and good value.
played 4/1/14, score - 72, handicap - 6

A good, quick option
Short enough to accommodate more junior / less experienced players such as myself, but punishing for more advanced players who stray off line with long rough, slopes and undulations, and mature trees and wooded areas. Slopes and valleys on the fairways and around greens add interest / challenge for all. Unfortunately rounds can be disrupted by non-playing public due to crossing footpaths and an adjacent recreation ground leading to some treating the course like an extension of the recreation area. Perhaps signage can be improved at points where the paths enter the course and at the perimeter with the recreation ground. This might also be a contributing factor to some damage to 2 greens which appeared to be vandalised rather than diseased. These stick out because the others are very good and smooth. Like the course overall, they are good for lesser players to develop skills by being generally flat, but are small enough to be challenging targets for longer players. Holes 1, 4 and 8 run alongside a major road so it isn\'t peaceful at these points, but means accessibility is good by road including a well-served bus route from Nottingham city centre. Practice green, chipping are and driving net allow for a thorough warm-up.

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.
