The rolling countryside of rural Nottinghamshire plays host to some excellent golf courses, predominantly Heathland and Parkland in style, there is certainly enough to test golfers of all abilities. One not to be missed and very highly regarded both regionally and nationally is Notts Golf Club, this heathland layout is a real beauty and has played host to regular Open qualifying events over the years.
Sherwood Forest is also ranked in the top 100 in the UK, another heathland gem, originally designed by Harry Colt and further enhanced by James Braid. Other courses of note in the East Midlands are The Nottinghamshire, Coxmoor and Workshop Golf Clubs.
