Royal Ashdown West Course
What a shocker! Probably the worst condition golf course I’ve ever played in 35 years of playing the game.Such a poor reflection on the Club and the Royal Ashdown Old course.

Could be good but...
Promised so much but course did not cope well with the rain. Greens were mainly awful, very patchy and difficult to putt on. Such a shame. Clubhouse staff were very good though. Would like to play again but would need assurances about the condition of the course.(Round played: Jul 2021 - Score: 102 Handicap: 27.2)

Bad condition
Played the west course in an open tournament, it's an absolute dog track. Both greens and fairways lacked any kind of grass cover, was a lottery if you hot the fairway whether you would get a good lie or a scabby one. Pick and place within in 6 inches is irrelevant if there's nowhere good to place within that radius!Same condition as most munis, wouldn't pay more than £15.
However will say nice clubhouse and staff.

Got there to find all tees off mats, nothing about this on website or during phone booking. Greens very uneven, not true. Loads of people walking dogs, cycling and generally getting in the way all over the course. Not a good challenge either, 2 of the par 3s are far too long for the average handicapper - need a driver on one! Too many fairways with severe slopes, almost impossible to hold ball. Not enough variety, probably only need 4 clubs. One of worst courses have ever played

Quirky
Played the west course after there had been a lot of rain over last few weeks. All mats , these were ok and playable. balls were plugging in fairways but pick and place was taken. Most of the fairways were just about OK but in some run off areas it was very boggy. Unfortunately the green were Very wet and heavily sanded making then a real lottery. Some nice holes along the way and a few so so. Would like to play when conditions are good but wont be coming back in similar conditions. PS good welcome in clubhouse and bar.Reviewer Rating

Very tough course , no bunkers but don't let that fool you difficult to keep it on the fairways. Greens could do with some work . Can't comment on every thing as some facilities are not open

Course has certainly seen better days, but was an enjoyable round all the same. The clubhouse staff were great, friendly pro in the shop and the course was deserted! It had rained a lot and the course was quite damp - the greens were not great, but playable, with some nice holes. I will play it again when it's in better shape and will review it again.

Windy 9 of first 12 holes, striaiht into it. However Par 3 11th 3wood to Pin high! Couldn't hit anything off tee and approach shots were not much better. Chipping ok and putting average. Course having a lot of drains put in but does not affect the play. Greens were hard due to frost. No bunkers so no issues there and all tees were from the winter astroturf

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
