Golf courses in Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire offers quality golf across varied terrain, from the sandy heathland of Sherwood Forest to lush parkland courses in the Trent Valley. Notts Golf Club at Hollinwell is the crown jewel - a magnificent heathland course that has hosted professional events and is consistently ranked among England's finest.

The county's connections to Robin Hood extend to its golf - several courses occupy the ancient forest land where the legendary outlaw is said to have roamed. The sandy soil of this region creates excellent playing conditions year-round.

The terrain in north Nottinghamshire is characterised by heather, silver birch, and sandy soil that drains superbly. Further south, parkland courses serve Nottingham and the surrounding towns. The East Midlands climate is relatively dry, and the heathland courses in particular offer firm, fast conditions that reward precise play. Spring and autumn are particularly pleasant, with fewer crowds than summer.
