Sherwood Forest Golf Club

Yes, the course is routed through land that was once part of the legendary royal hunting forest of Robin Hood fame, giving it an undeniable historical mystique.

Extremely. In late summer, when it's fully grown and blooming purple, it's visually stunning but requires a wedge sideways if you find it. Accuracy off the tee is paramount.

Yes, a limited number of buggies are available to hire, but walking this relatively flat heathland is generally considered the preferred way to truly experience the routing.

Generally, visitors are expected to be competent golfers, and a handicap certificate or CDH number is often requested (max 28 Men, 36 Women).

Late August to September is peak magic when the heather is in full purple bloom, offering incredible aesthetics and optimal, firm turf conditions.

Yes, for prime summer tee times, booking 6-9 months in advance is highly recommended to secure your preferred slot.

Caddies are not standard at Sherwood Forest, but you can certainly request one in advance through the professional shop if required.

There is no accommodation directly on site, but there are plenty of excellent hotels and boutique lodgings in nearby Mansfield and Nottingham.

Traditional but remarkably relaxed. A jacket and tie are not required for the main lounges, but smart, pristine golf attire is expected everywhere on the property.

It's right next door and often heavily debated! Sherwood is tighter and more heavily tree-lined, while Hollinwell is more expansive. Playing both back-to-back is the ultimate Nottinghamshire double.
