Not too bad if its been wet. Quite tight on some holes. Very undulating fairways lots of Knolls and hollows around the greens. Hanging lies. Fast greens. Some good holes. 18th a belter.

Only played the West Course, not The Old Course. Very user friendly, typical faiways and greens found on forest courses, and while quite short is still a good test. No bunkers to worry about but you may find yourself with a linksy type lie on the fairway.

Improving with new drainage system
rough was lush and wet. But, fairways were generous. Some signs of issues on greens but didnt affect the game. Plenty of signs to show drainage is improving with some exposed ditches in play and plaenty of sanded tracks. However none affected the play at all. How this slope index is so low, I have no idea. Should be at least in the 120's!!Reviewer Rating

Tight and challenging course
Course was in great condition, greens fast, rough knee length in places so needed to keep it tight and on the fairways, but a really enjoyable game! Need boards on the tees though showing hole layout, length, stroke index etc., as the marker stones were extremely difficult to find and overgrown in places.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
