Description
|
"Ashley Wood Golf Club is set in idyllic surroundings, with fabulous views across the Dorset region to soak up along with a course that will challenge you, intimidate you perhaps just a little in places, and ultimately reward you if you play it with discipline, care and to your full potential. It really and truly is an excellent place for any golfer no matter how high or low their handicap.
Described by Peter Alliss as “The best kept secret in Dorset”, the course is one of the oldest in the country.
Constructed on downland, the fairways are undulating and although hole 3 does have a short sharp hill, all others are easy walking. Four holes are played within Ashley Woods, ancient woodland carpeted with bluebells in May. Being natural chalk downland, the course drains very quickly and remains playable in all but the most extreme weather. The course is rarely closed for long, and trolleys have only been banned for four days during the last ten years.
The par 70 course is 6270 yards long with some ‘open’ drives and some requiring more accuracy. It is a good test of golf for all levels of ability.
At the time of writing, the greens are in absolutely immaculate condition.
It has often been heralded as the finest course in Dorset, and who are we to argue? From its location high up in the countryside, you can enjoy truly exceptional panoramic views and the changes in colours before you as the seasons change."
