Traditional heathland course with an abundance of heather, pines and silver birch, designed originally by H.S.Colt and remodelled by the great James Braid in the mid 1920s.

Founded as the Mansfield Golf Club, at Ravensdale, the club changed its name to Sherwood Forest when it moved to its new course in 1912 and celebrated its centenary in 1995.

After gentle opening holes the course begins to show its teeth on the par 5 fifth hole.

After that birdie chances become few and far between.

Sherwood Forest is noted for its for its tough run of par fours from 11 to 14.
