What the club says: Rated one of the top golf society and corporate event venues in the Midlands. The stunning 18 hole golf course set in beautiful parkland and woodland makes it one of the most memorable Nottinghamshire golf clubs. In addition the golf shop, excellent practice and tuition facilities including a 16 bay floodlit driving range, ensures Rufford Park is a great club for both members and visitors. The perfect location in Nottinghamshire for Weddings, Conferences and Parties set in picturesque surroundings.

The Bar and restaurant offers delicious home cooked food, including Sunday Carvery at great prices and is open to everyone.

Golfshake Team Review

Didn't have particularly good memories of the course from a few years ago, generally a bit boggy and rough greens. Returned late December and wow, what a difference! Despite it being a pretty damp month the course is in wonderful condition, with only one green showing the slightest bit of damp. Fairways and traps all good, the greens weren't particularly fast but were true, just as well as they aren't flat with breaks and contours all over. I will be returning in the summer to see it's true character, really looking forwrd to it. - Dec 22 2016

tough day
Played this course before but was a tough day today, fairways were scorched ( to be expected the summer we are having ) which made following your ball difficult. a challenging course with some lovely holes especially the 17th looks easy but not many of us hit the green !!

Course in great condition, fairways firm, greens receptive.

Wayward shots are punished in very heavy rough.

Always a great course.

Fantastic course
A great course with various challenging holes and some drivable par 4 if you are up for the challenge, The only bad comment was that we had a very slow 4 ball in front and they would not let us play through

One the best in Notts
One of the best courses in Notts, great layout, very reasonable prices,good facilities etc. Usually in good condition. Only criticism is the number of temporary greens regularly in use in winter when other local courses would have full greens. Had been very wet prior to today but course still reasonable condition considering.

Short but interesting.
Rufford Park golf course is a favourite of mine.(BUGGY RECOMMENDED). From the 1st hole a par 4 of a decent drive and then an iron to the green at the top of an incline..but beware of the bunkers at the side of the green and the green is on 2 levels.Then the course gets very interesting and with lovely views of the surrounding area.Its not a massive hitters course but more of a thinking mans ..Loads of trees and some water..a river/stream runs through the back nine with a couple of ponds/lakes too.In summer there is loads of geese and ducks about but they do not cause any problems..The 19th hole is very good and in warm weather you can sit outside admiring the 9th and 18th greens...and a decent price for the drinks too...Highly recommended especially spring and summer.

Great course, pity about the weather
Golf course in great condition for this time of year, unfortunately our first attempt at the course in September was washed out after 9 holes, however Rufford Park G & CC gave us Today free.
Today was dry but unfortunately it was gusting up to 50 mph making some of the drives and 2nd, 3rd shots very interesting , especially the 170 yd 17th ( the Rufford picture hole) that I failed to reach with a 3 iron! Such was the gust in my face, however after dropping ( the original went swimming) I managed to salvage a 5, overall this is a must to play , and also I can highly recommend the food.
