Lovely

Would love to come back and see it when it wasn't foggy, great effort to keep the course open in the fog and frost. Will be back!

Definitely worth a visit

The course has wide fairways (missed most of them) , spread out and a good test for beginners and low handicap players. Course was in good condition and they are spending money doing the club house up.

Young developing course

Rutland County is still a young looking course, but large greens and tempting 'tiger lines' make this an enjoyable outing.

A nice course ruined

A nice course that was enjoyed for many years has been ruined by mis management, lack of funding, lack of interest and the bad weather. The front 9 holes in part are virtually unplayable but due to greed and apathy they keep the course open and don't address the issues. Poor maintenance has increased the problems and I for one am happy to be moving to pastures new. A clubhouse with staff that reluctantly stay open for refreshments doesn't advertise a warm welcome anymore, and it never used to be like that. All in all a complete shame. Currently new owners have made an accepted offer on the venue so perhaps watch this space for improvements.

Good well maintained course, drains well. Par 5 and Par 3's are long and a real challenge. The course is deceptively hard, the rough is thick but not long we spent a long time looking for balls in the grass off the side of fairways.

We choose this course for a stop of on the way back from Sheffield to Maidstone. Green fees excellent value, course was in good condition. Staff very friendly and helpful, inland links course with some very challenging holes. Lots of bunkers guarding the greens

Lovely course needing attention

A lovely course set in a lovely area. Unfortunately spoilt by a lack of care by either management or greenkeeping staff or both. Recent change of pro looks to be improving things but a lot of work is needed to improve the greens that are looking a little sorry for themselves. The teeing area of the tees need to be moved around a little more as do the flag positioning on the greens. Sad to say but the greenkeeping staff are not very visible much, and as with a lot of courses nowadays too much focus has been to put on the "football golf", which again in my own opinion distracts away from the golf course and encourages the "wrong" element to a nice golf course.

I have played this course many times over the years and the course has improved so much over the years. This year we have had one of the hottest and driest for a long time now and I am amazed just how well the staff look after the course during this relay hot spell. The greens are in superb condition when you take into account the weather of late.I have played other courses during this hot weather and see how difficult it is for the staff to maintain the greens in particular. So a big thumbs up and a big thank you to all the green keepers at Rutland County trust me most of us playing the course relay appreciate the hard work you guys put in to golf course. Next time we wave at you remember it is not just for letting us play through as you are working on the greens as we pass but also for the hard work you guys do.The staff in the clubhouse have been some of the friendliest staff I have met they are always very helpful to everyone whoever they are dealing with.
It makes our trip to playing our round of golf that little bit more special you do a great job thank you..Most people who visit this course appreciate the hard work put in by all the staff.I know you might get the odd person who will disagree but as far as I am concerned you could not do much better well done to you all..

Course recovering well after an extended period of weather that was detrimental to the course. Greens playing faster and truer.
Clubhouse staff excellent, pleasant and always helpful.
