First time round here on a charity day. Excellent course if a little damp at present due to incessant recent rain. Bit boggy in the lower areas but otherwise perfectly playable. Struggled to get the pace of the greens but they were receptive. Hospitality from the club was excellent in all respects as was the food both before and after the round. Will head back in summer to play when dryer as the layout and views from certain areas are brilliant.

Short but demanding
No bunkers but plenty of gorse and run off areas. Plenty of hidden valleys and ditches. Greens were fast and some growth meant a little bumpy on certain greens. How this is only 110 course slope off the Yellows can anly be because of distance. It is a much tougher course than the Course index indicates.Reviewer Rating

Trip down memory lane
Haven't played the West course at Royal Ashdown for 13 years but was so pleased to find it exactly how I remembered.Really slick greens with plenty of subtle run offs.Loads of gorse to punish stray shots as well as the rough being up due to the wet weather and sunshine we've been experiencing.Pro shop is well stocked and the pro there was really friendly.Definitely won't be leaving it so long next time.

Easy to find and and sufficient parking. Club house is being renovated at the moment but facilities are good. Food and staff were excellent. I played the Old Course which is tough. For high handicappers and short drivers the challenge is hard because of loads of heather and in some cases narrow fairways. The greens were also very fast. It is an undulating course and in generally very good condition. Nobody said golf was easy but this course is challenging.

Memory Lane - Lovely Course
This course is very dear to me in terms of sentimental value as my family had been head greenkeepers there for over 60 years but strangely since I've been playing it's only my second time playing. A natural course (no bunkers) is both challenging and unforgiving in places. It is reasonably short but you have to get your numbers right. The greens and fairways were in reasonable order. We were there as part of a group of 12 so a deal was struck. The hospitality was excellent and very friendly and I was able to re-capture so old times as well. Highly recommended and next time I would dearly love to play the old course,Reviewer Rating

Worth a visit
We played the Old course on the last day before lockdown 2.0 in early November. It was our first visit and I will definitely be back one day, hopefully to play the West course as well. We had a friendly welcome and despite lots of rain in previous weeks, we were blessed with fabulous weather, adding to the already stunning scenery. The course itself held up very well in the wet conditions; only on two holes was it actually an issue and then only minor really, so a good off season option as many courses were waterlogged that week. Definitely glad there was no wind on the day though, that would've really increased the test. Some of the holes were pretty straightforward but enough interest with hills, heather and trees. Will be a fairly challenging walk for some. Would recommend.Reviewer Rating
