0800 043 6644Heather, ferns and gorse line the narrow fairways at Notts, giving the layout a distinct heathland feel. From the championship tees, the course can be extended to just over 7,200 yards, making it a formidable proposition. Hollinwell has a terrific flow and rhythm, progressing smoothly from hole to hole, and saving the most impressive challenges for last. The signature hole has got to be the downhill 13th, which measures 228 yards and is played to a green encircled by no less than six bunkers.
The course hosted the 2015 Brabazon Trophy supported by Your Golf Travel for a record fifth time. The title was won by Cormac Sharvin of Ardglass Golf Club with a four-round -7 total. Needing a par on the last hole to claim the trophy, Sharvin overshot the green, bouncing into the clubhouse before returning back in bounds where his delicate chip and putt was enough to win the coveted trophy.
Whilst the course is a very intimidating 7,250 yards off the back tees, the whites measure just over 6,900 yards while the yellows are a more manageable 6,619 yards to the par of 72. Tips for those playing the course for the first time are to place a focus on accuracy rather than simply distance due to the penal "pink" rough which lines the fairways during the summer months. Whilst it might not be difficult to find your ball in the pink anyone attempting to play an ambitious shot towards to the green might come unstuck as it is certainly thicker than it looks.
Notts is a little known commodity, but those in the know will testify that it is a superb golfing experience within the Nottinghamshire area. Golfers must supply handicap certificates before play.

Very enjoyable day
The drought has taken the colour away from all the courses we played, including this one, but the quality of the lay out and the speed of the greens made it a real test for our opening game. Good food in the clubhouse, reasonably priced, a range to warm up on, and one of the nicest settings you could wish for. Definitely want to go again.
Great course particularly the back 9. It was tough as expected but the greens at Coxmoor and Sherwood were better
Tough track for mid to high handicappers, but super challenging, 4 holes are particularly challenging, with plateaued greens ,spectacular scenery , and course in excellent condition.
Played on own for 10 holes.then played last 8 holes with friendly three ball that were in front.who played course before.would definately come back and play again
Great welcome fro pro shop and clubhpuse staff Ccourse is great but quite long greens a wee bit slow and lots of bunkers around them Weather went against us on the closing holes so we struggled with those Only real problems are the blind holes which are not marked
