Tough but enjoyable courses
Booked to play on the west course & old course. Both courses were very challenging. Fairways were very good. Very disappointed with the greens on the old course. Loads of sand. No warning & no offer of a reduced green fee or credit note.Reviewer Rating

Lovely little course - Shame so wet
Considering amount of rain not surprising that last few greens had standing water...especially 16th. However great short course. Testing holes with many hollows to negotiate but no bunkers. Marking for next tee could be better but after a couple of rounds fairly obvious. Premium on straight and accuratacy.(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 81 Handicap: 16.5)

Magnificent
I played this course as part of the Sussex Heathland tour as well as Crowborough and Piltdown. The best of all three with no doubt with Crowborough a close second and Piltdown a lowly third. Course was well presented and a true challenge.Reviewer Rating

Excellent course
First time at Royal Ashdown Forest on a very hot afternoon. Really interesting course with lots of contours, bumps and slopes. Dry fairways with plenty of run and tricky greens that are difficult to hold to. But course is not too long and no bunkers. 2nd nine significantly harder than front. Enjoyable round will be back.(Round played: Aug 2018 - Score: 101 Handicap: 24.1)

Beauty and Beast
Beautiful course set in some picturesque forest scenery, stick to the fairways and you have a chance, venture off and the rough can be brutal. Will definitely play again(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 94 Handicap: 14.5)

"No other club like it"
Recently visited the Royal Ashdown Golf Course, playing both the Old Course and the West Course(part of their sister club the Ashdown West). Both courses were in superb condition, with greens and fairways very well maintained, resulting in two pleasurable yet challenging (due to the nature of the course) rounds of golf. I can confirm that the notorious Old Course certainly lived up to it status as being ranked #31 in the Top 100 UK Courses, with the West Course certainly acting as strong competition.Clubhouse and Pro shop staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure that our whole experience was enjoyable. With such a wide diverse range of food options on their bar menu it made choosing very difficult! However, when myself and my guests finally decided we were blown away with how good the food tasted, especially for the extremely reasonable prices they were charging!
A splendid golfing experience, with great courses, fantastic food and outstanding customer service, will be recommending this club to every golfer I know. Looking forward to my next visit, which was booked shortly after I left!

We had a few heavy showers that disrupted the round and the course held up ever so well.
