Update

Still the same fun scenic course with conditioning issues. The narrow tree lined fairways, small greens, and the holes with the river always place a premium on accuracy over length on this relatively short course.

There were the extremes of soggy wet areas of fairway all the way to dry bare areas. The tee boxes had good coverage but there are a lot of uneven areas. The greens were rolling smooth with slow/medium speed and were the best conditioned part of the course.

The mosquitos in a few areas of the course were completely out of control. I had half a dozen bites and several dozen confirmed kills by the time I surrendered to the little beasts. I then drove back to the clubhouse after the seventh hole to purchase bug spray. The staff was prepared with not only spray for sale but also cans for free usage. GREAT customer service to provide them, the staff here is always one of the best. The asst pro told me that mosquito abatement was scheduled to come out so it shouldn't be an issue for long.

Fun at Sherwood

I always enjoy playing Sherwood Forest it’s such a great layout in a beautiful setting. Course was soggy after heavy weekend rain but still very playable. Once they cut the greens a bit closer so they run a bit faster that will be awesome!

Sure woods

Beautiful established trees for overhead cover through a lot of the course which is rare in the valley. Nice tight fairways with enjoyable course layout. Greens can be hit or miss through the season, but for the cost, this is one of my favorite courses around to play.

Speed up Greens & Pace of Play

I love Sherwood Forest GC & they are really trying to get the Course in shape. But today the greens were super slow & nobody in our group could get the ball to the hole. Also pace of play horrible it took us 5 hours to play & we waited for a group ahead of us that hadn’t even teed off & that was on every hole! Please mow the greens so they have an acceptable pace & get a Marshal out on the Course to speed up play!

Sure A Long Round at Sherwood

I have been playing at Sherwood for over 50 years.
It’s an amazing golf course with exceptional beauty. A challenging layout & enjoyable to play. And it’s nice to see that the Course conditions are improving greatly. My main complaint is the pace of play. Our round today took over 5 hours which is totally unacceptable! Please get a Marshal out on the Course to speed up play. Today we skipped playing the 17th Hole to go around a group that held up play for the entire Golf Course & we played the 18th Hole & the Group we went ahead of was just teeing off on 18. And even after skipping the 17th Hole our Round still took us over 5 hours to play.
You’ve got to figure out a way to speed up play!

Pace of play

Need to get a Marshall out there to push these people along. Two groups in front of us were two holes behind slowing everybody up. We skipped whole number 17 to go to 18 and we were still four hours and 40 minutes into our around!

Nice course

Winter golf but the fairways are decent . Greens are getting better but had a little sand in spots. Still very puttable. It's a tight , tree lined course which makes it a challenge to hit some fairways.

Terrible pace of play

3 hours and 15 after our tee time we were still waiting at tee box 10 to play the back 9. Ended up leaving. Just a terrible pace of play. Course completely backed up. Had a long wait every hole to tee off, then had golfers behind us hitting into us multiple times. After talking to them they stopped. Coarse was in fair condition. 6 to 7 hours to play a round of 18 is way too long.

Fun round of golf. Good layout

Fun course. I played with a couple locals who helped make it fun. Tight in spots, and is a good test of your game. The grass was a little thin, but it is early in the year so it was to be expected.
