Takes rain well but a few drawbacks

Incredibly slow pace of play, over a 4 hour round for a two-ball (on a wednesday afternoon?!)

fairways in great nick for the time of year being sand based, greens not so great

slightly confusing layout, not helped by a lack of signage or directions.

Great winter course

Great round of golf and the condition of the course was excellent considering how much rain we have had. Teeing of mats which were hard to get a tee in

Great place to play

Great place to play especially considering the weather we have had recently. A little soggy on the far end of the course, but I was still able to walk, which is a lot more than I can say for other course in the area. A couple of temp greens and tees but other than this, it's a great place, and will definitely be playing again soon.

Course in decent condition.

Course relatively dry following recent heavy rain. Fairways good, wet in places, 3 temp greens and 6 tees from mats. ( Difficult to insert tees into rigid mats.)

Great course and clubhouse

Been to rufford many times and have always enjoyed it. Course was in good condition especially as the area has had a lot of rain recently resulting in many courses closed. Will definitely come back.

Great Course but slow play

First time playing this course, we were a 2 ball and it took us 4:15 to play due to slow play in front with 2 four balls and a 3 ball which tarnished an otherwise good game of golf. Some challenging varied holes and the course was in excellent condition.

Great course

Great course in good condition, pace of play was slow but down to one group of visitors that wouldn’t let people past. You can order a bacon butty and a coffee on the 9tee box and pick it up on your way to the tenth 👌🏻👌🏻. 17th is some hole, well worth the visit 🤌🏻

The course even after weeks of rain is still in great condition

The course even after weeks of rain is still in great condition and the greens lightening fast. It’s a great challenge especially the 583yard 5par off the yellows and against the wind the daunting 17th island hole. We really enjoy our day except for the moaning member on the 1st tee complaining there was a four ball in front of his two ball we even split into two two’s and he still went and complained to the club house, these members make me laugh, play a few years and think they own the place…IDIOT! YOUR CLUB NEEDS THE EXTRA INCOME! WELCOME GUESTS WITH OPEN ARMS!

Challenging but fair

Great green conditions. Course in good condition overall. For a Saturday with 2 large societies and Comp day the pace was fair. A first time player thoroughly enjoyed the invite and will return.

Top notch golf all round

A fantastic venue with a full range, short game and putting practice are that is as well kept as the main greens,
The course is stunning with pleanty of features and unique holes. I would highly recommend a round here, we played after a solid day of rain the day before and the course had drained excellently too.

One of the best in the area.

Really like this course, good mix of holes and although challenging it’s fair, greens always good, fairways and tee boxes mostly good. Great signature hole the 17th.

Can be busy and rounds can take a while but the club recognises this and tries to remind members/ players to speed up!

Good clubhouse too.
