Great course

This course is set along the Kings River and winds through many trees. This course is very scenic and fun to play. Not extremely challenging, but there are some tricky holes.

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!

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.

Shermud Forest

Played Sherwood a couple of days after a big storm & the Course was extremely muddy with quite a bit of standing water. Looking forward to playing the Course once again when it dries out a bit.

Is Sherwood a Sure Thing?

Unfortunately the condition of Sherwood Forest deteriorated badly last summer but the course seems to be on it’s way back. The Golf Course is a classic layout & very challenging. I just hope they can get the Course all the way back in shape & maintain it through the Summer months.

Cold and wet

I played out at this course in January 2024. It was really busy on a Saturday.
Greens are looking better but there are still a few in rough shape. It looks like they’re putting some money back into this course which is nice. It’s in a great area by Kings River.
Fairways are pretty decent but had a rough time finding a good lie.
Food and staff are excellent. For the money and the views you can’t beat it.
