Widfara, who discerned the change of wind direction with a "sea-tang" just prior to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, lived in the Wold.

All references I've seen point to the idea that the Rohirrim had almost no knowledge of Lórien or Galadriel, beyond far off myths and legends from who knows how many centuries back.

And I would second the observation that, even had some Rohir had been so hardy or curious as to venture into the eaves of the Golden Wood, he wouldn't have been admitted. The Fellowship was only let in because they had reservations, so to speak, and were led by Aragorn.
This is not to say that the Elves would have shot an innocent Son of Eorl! It's hinted that Lorien was an echo of Doriath with its Girdle, and unwanted intruders would simply have been mazed and bewildered- no doubt this occurred from time to time, and contributed to the place's uncanny reputation.
