During Winter when everywhere wlse looks uninviting you turn up at Ash

All year round Ashley Wood is a great course, but especially in the months when other course suffer through the wet, Ashley Wood keeps producing an excellent facility to play golf, even when work is being done on the greens they still create a fair challenge and make the day worth while.

Excellent Freens, good fairways

Very exposed so the course can be difficult if it's windy. Quite steep in places and fair bit of walking between some tees so I was tired by the time I finished. Some of the slopes are across the fairway so you are playing the ball below or above your feet.

Al;ways enjoy visiting Ashley Woods

I must play Ashley Woods 7 or 8 times a year and it never fails to throw up a new challenge, just when you think you know the course a new venture starts, you suddenly see holes from a totally different aspect, great course to play, love it.

Simply stunning golf course!

Set high on rolling Dorset countryside, this course boasts ancient hill fort rings, and views across picturesque rural landscape almost to the Coast. There are plenty of challenges for all level of golfers, with slopes, hills and flat fairways which lull one into a false sense of security, thanks to sunken bunkers and the many magnificent trees which line the course. Holes 2 and 10 are particularly capricious, both offering opportunities to lose the ball off the tee. In some ways, it's a course of 3 parts: holes 1-9 are offer commanding views of surrounding countryside and farmland; 10-13 are set in ancient woodland and are well sheltered from the wind; 14-18 are high on the Downs with a couple of long holes and some tricky bunkers to manoeuvre. Unusually, the final hole is a Par 3 bringing you home to the clubhouse on a gentle slope.

Always a pleasure

Ashley Wood is an excellent course in Dorset, always fun to play with a difficult start with two par 5's in the first three holes, but as you turn to the back 9 you have some really good opportunities to keep your score going.
Always Friendly and the course in good condition.

Always worth a visit, an all year around good course

Another satisfying day at Ashley Wood, Temperatures near freezing but the course played really well, Millionaires golf PM with only brave soles out on a cold winters day, shame the course is really worth it.

Good course

course looked very good, there was some damage to the first few greens and the rest were very bump and make it difficult to putt, but I'm sure it was just the time of year, will try again in the summer.

Good solid course

A traditional parkland course played on
The 4 holes "in the woods" are looked down on some as "up and back" but I disagree, great holes.
An all-round super club house, well worth a visit!

Always a welcome course

Ashley Wood never lets you down even on a cold December day the course is in great condition and offers both a challenge and a pleasure as you negotiate the rolling Dorset countryside, great pint of Doombar to finish.
