Exceptional
In a wilderness on brown burnt off courses Astbury is like an oasis, I couldn’t believe the course conditions, it’s amazing. This has to be the finest course for its money within 50 milesTo the previous reviewer, if you have never liked it why play again? Sounds like you have an axe to grind

Very nice course
Second visit to The Astbury (first this year) and still very impressed. Stunning setting and welcoming course. Slight delay in getting away due to a Seniors Day that had been split starts on front and back 9, speed of play was ok and this improved as the day went on. The whole course was still well manicured although I don't recall any striping of the fairways like last year (I may have just not been paying attention). Long walk but not too hilly, other than the feskew and bunkers there's not too much trouble about so decent scores are possible. I remain very impressed, the last hole is spectacular, although it was disappointing that the bar had closed by 5:45pm so the beer thirst went unquenched!(Round played: Jul 2017 - Score: 96 Handicap: 27.5)

Good greens, quick true and rolled well, have to disagree with previous review as When all the other local courses are brown and burnt off, the lush green fairways at the astbury stand out, even saw the fairway irrigation whilst playing, good value for money

The Astbury - Golfing heaven?
The only slight downside to my 27 holes on the day was that we chose the hottest day of the year so far and it hit 32.5c and there isn't really much shade on the course!The course is well laid out and extremely well manicured. The greens are quick and true (they were ironing the 18th as we arrived!) There are some cracking holes spread out around the 18 holes with the 18th being a shortish par 3 with all carry over a lake. The flag appeared to be about a yeard on from where we looked so it was brave to take it on!
The fescue though looking wispy just gobbled up the balls if you ran offline or through the fairway. Accuracy very definitely helped. The greens had been baked a bit after 5 days of 30c+ and perhaps could have been watered a bit as holding the balls on them was not the easiest task.
It is quite a long course to walk and as much of the walking between holes is on buggy paths it does tire out your feet. If you are doing more than 18 holes I would strongly suggest taking one of the buggies that were available.
Because there are no members pace of play is very good and Societies are definitely welcome. The bacon roll to start the day was excellent, and the coffee even better! We had Sandwiches and chips for lunch and this was more than adequate as we still had 18 holes to play.
If I have to be picky, I wasn't so impressed by the bunkers as some had a lot of fluffy sand and others were very sparse with gritty sand, but it was my fault for getting in them so can't really complain.
The course is kept immaculate and there are no bins to be seen anywhere so you take home what you came with, and to be honest it was spotless. I can't recall any ball washers on the course but may just not have seen them as the ball was never dirty!
Most of the sprinkler heads on the fairways have a yardage marked on them as well as the discs in the fairway.
Would I go back? Oh yes definitely, might find a slightly cooler day though, or use a buggy failing that, but I will definitely be back.

As one of a group of 12 ladies we visited this stunning course yesterday. Immaculately kept this was a lovely parkland course with beautiful views. Warmly welcomed on arrival for bacon butties. We stayed for two course meal after golf, which not only looked good but was delicious. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, We had a great days golf and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Played today as part of a society. Staff were very welcoming and very helpful. Full breakfast was very good but the coffe was not good, the tea was Ok. Onto the first tee and everything looked in excellent condition. The course is a little hilly in places but overall is fairly straight forward.
Just a few negatives! There are no ball washers or benches. This may sound petty but at this time of year it's a bit muddy in places and there are no buggies. I suffer with a bad back and need to rest now and again. They have spent a lot on making the tee's look nice but no hole layout maps. My mate reckons it so they can flog the map books in the golf shop.
Overall this is a nice course and will definitely play again.

Played 18 holes on this beautiful course, which really should have been closed. The greens were in excellent condition considering the amount of rain we had had. The golf pro offered us the chance to play 9 and get our money back, should we not want to continue, which was great. We will look forward to come back and play in the summer.
