What the club says: A full eighteen hole true Championship Course of 6,835 yards (par 70 S.S.S. 74). There are however, none of the modern water hazards but ninety four bunkers and long carries over masses of heather. It is a great challenge and a very well kept course.

Top 100 UK course - Sherwood Forest
The second time of playing Sherwood Forest in 2025, the greens were lush and fairly quick, with some true rolls on them. Some of the green fringes were bare of grass, and chipping was impossible. Challenging weather conditions due to storm Floris. The back nine was difficult in those gusting winds of 4o to 60mph.Reviewer Rating

The course was in pretty good condition considering the lack of rain we have had so far this year. The greens were not particularly quick, but again, this has to be expected with the extremes of sun we are experiencing, but putts were still rolling out nicely. There were more than enough blind shots and far too many bunkers for my liking. I managed to experience at least one on 8 different holes. which you might say a 20 handicapper would do. but my playing partner found 11 and he's only 13 hcap

Top 100 UK course - Sherwood Forest
First time playing Sherwood Forest, loved the setting and the environment & fantastic practice facilities, nice entrance onto the 1st tee, etc. Fairways are well-manicured and very hard, with decent bounce and rollout. Greens are patchy and bobbly, not running smoothly to be honest, and made it difficult to judge putts. Bunkers are poor, not much sand in them, and it felt like playing on concrete to be honest, struggled to take any sand with bunker shots. The heather this time of year had been cut back, and I'm sure in the summer it plays as a different challenge too. Overall very much enjoyed the challenge of this course.Reviewer Rating

Warm Welcome
Generally reviews focus on the course and rightly so, this courses reputation is up there with the best and it delivers. What you don't always see is commentary about how well you were received; Sherwood Forest members take a bow - several went out of their way to make time to say hello and hope we enjoyed the course. We did.A well priced green fee including a light lunch in a well appointed, and busy, bar. A great day.

Great looking tradittional woodland course
Beautifully presented and plenty of Heather and gours. The wind played its part too. Would love to play there again one day when my 3wd doesnt let me down. The course was i great condition and greens true and fast. Were told that this was playable usually a lot more difficult. Mind you cost of round was not ideal.

Great course but serious challenge!!!
Sherwood Forest is a excellent golf course and will give any golfer a serious challenge. Despite playing in November, the fairways were bone dry and in very good condition, minimal scaring etc, tee boxes were excellent. The greens had been tinned so difficult to judge, but all the signs where there that they would be superb in the summer. The facilities are good and the club house is very picturesque and echos tradition. The course it's self is extremely challenging, and almost every hole has at least roughly around 150 yards carry in heathland. So accuracy off the tee is essential! To fully enjoy this course in all its glory, I would recommend a handicap of at least 18 to enjoy this course to its full potential All in all this is a great course and one for any golfer to tick off his list.Reviewer Rating

First time playing the course at the midst of the wettest autumn on record. The course was immaculate and bone dry. Roll on the fairways and spongy greens. Playing off fairways mats but if that protects these amazing fairways, I’m all for that.\\Must play.

So enjoyable
From start to finish I loved it. From deer roaming over the course to seeing the autumn trees in all colours the views were great. The course was really nice and interesting with no 2 holes alike. Loved playing the 3rd, 4th and 18th with the clubhouse as the backdrop which looks magnificent. Members and staff were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit f in the north east midlands. Did Sherwood Forrest after Notts the day before with Golfbreaks for ?139 so pretty good value I think for 2 top notch courses.Reviewer Rating

I've played here before and unfortunately since then the course has lost a lot of trees. The layout is very strong, particularly the tough back nine. The greens are big, so you need to know where the flag is to chose the correct club. The fairways were in good condition, the semi rough look simple but was tough to play from. The greens were fairly fast and true. The 18th is a weak hole and looks poor with all the work going on to the right of the hole.

Typical Notts set up, attractive slightly quirky clubhouse, range being rebuilt bit of an eyesore at the minute, practise green and nets though.
Fairly easy walk, lots of very good holes. Has lost a lot of trees so not quite what I was expecting but can't really fault the condition. Last hole was a little bit of a non event, but some good strong par 4's in particular.
Since it's ranked similar to hollinwell on here I will make the comparison, I think it's half a notch behind but still a top, top course.
