Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club

On a winter's day when golfing was off the menu, Ashdown Forest can again be peopled with families enjoying slow, muddy walks and not subject to irate tells of 'Fore!'Swathes of tall pines, russet bracken, iron-coloured streams meeting and burbling, small magical waterfalls, golf ball finds for the sharp-eyed, ancient trees to swing from or limbs low enough for children to lounge and rock in - all this makes the golf course area a delight in any weather. Plus some slopes beloved of sledgers in snow - I've even ski-ed on these just because they were there.Can't tell you about the Hotel as it looked closed over Christmas / New Year....

First time playing there. Decent course not overly long and some nice holes. Greens looked lovely but were very slow and the ball simply didnt roll out. You had to bash it to get to the hole.

Stunning scenery , a true challenge of a course with views to make you think you are in heaven. Adam Riddle the course manager was very helpful in accommodating our visit. Just wish I had played better.

The Old Course is stunning. Amazing Championship-level course set within a lovely piece of land. Friendly members and quality clubhouse. We will return.

The west course is tight and testing. Excellent playing surfaces. Sits in the shadow of the main course but none the less a fine test.

Played here on wet Monday with no rain forecast, lovely clubhouse, best bacon bap yet, how this course is in the top 30 never mind top 100 in uk is beyond me?really scruffy in places, tees not maintained well ,some nice holes greens extremely slow, massive long walks between holes & the longest par 3 in the uk @ 250 yards!!!! Chicken wing curry to finish, strange having played both courses would not go back

Brilliant golf club. Two fantastic courses in the Old Course and West Course that run around, through and over the Ashdown Forest. Greens and course conditions have been great for many years. Shop, clubhouse and food are very good with continuous improvements. Members and management are friendly also. Old Course feels like a top 50 UK course, whilst the West Course is always a good test and one of the best shorter length courses around. Definitely worth a visit.

Clubhouse was very nice. Great facilities and am even better bar area.

Lovely course with many “interesting” holes - the walking is tough but rewarding!
