Spring 2017
I have rated this course previously and have always given it two stars, always based on conditioning that is below average. The conditions have worsened.
The layout is scenic and challenging due to the narrow shots and angles created by the trees and I normally recommend play but until conditions change I temporarily do not recommend.
I do not know if the current conditions are due to a lack of manpower or equipment failure.
Fairways- many had rough length grass and all were too long for fairway cuts.
Tees- as normal are patchy and many are unlevel.
Sand- is firm packed and/or dirt.
Rough- was out of control and anything off the fairways resulted in searches for balls.
Greens- were extremely shaggy and slow slow slow.
To be fair, I believe that all the rains have produced more growth than normal and is the cause of the rough issues. The greens were recently worked and could be the reason they haven't been mown in awhile. Hopefully whatever the cause behind the decline will be fixed and this course will return to being a viable option.
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!
Much improved
When I played this course in was in the est I have seen in years. Maintenance crew is doing a great job in maintaining it.
It is located right off Kings River in Sanger. Beautiful Area
I would recommend giving it a try for yourself
The green
The green are being work on , lot of sands but it will be nice once they are done.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work on improving the greens. We look forward to welcoming you back to a more beautiful course soon.
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!
We are grateful to hear about your long-term dedication and enjoyment at Sherwood, and acknowledge your concerns regarding the pace of play. Thank you for your feedback.
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!
We're sorry to hear about the pace of play issues you experienced, and appreciate your suggestion about having a Marshall to improve the flow. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Played Sherwood today and the golf course is looking very nice! The driving range , chipping green and newly remodeled putting green are in excellent shape as well.. Definitely a fun golf course that will test your game. Great place to play or just get a quick practice session in..
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.
We apologize for the long wait time you experienced during your visit and thank you for sharing your feedback. We will work to address the pace of play to improve our customers' experience.
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.
We apologize for the slow greens and pace of play during your recent visit; your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve. We're committed to addressing these issues and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Thank you for letting us know.
