You'll find the course truly embraces its namesake, offering stunning views across Rutland Water on several holes, particularly the back nine. This expansive backdrop adds a unique sense of scale and tranquility to your round, making it feel distinctly English countryside golf.
What's the signature challenge or unique characteristic of Rutland Water Golf Course's layout?
The course's undulating terrain and strategic bunkering demand thoughtful shot placement, especially on the par-3s. We think the 14th hole, a challenging par-4 with a tricky approach over a dip, truly tests your course management and offers a memorable moment.
When is the best time of year to play Rutland Water Golf Course for the ideal experience?

Beyond the golf, what facilities does Rutland Water Golf Course offer, and are they worth checking out?
The clubhouse is welcoming, offering a comfortable spot for a post-round drink and a bite to eat - their local ale selection is a nice touch. You'll also find a well-stocked pro shop and decent practice facilities, including a driving range, which are perfect for a warm-up.
