Ashdown West Golf Club
Forest Row, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Ashdown West snakes its way through the heart of the Ashdown Forest – it boasts beautifully manicured tree-lined fairways and small, often elevated, greens with some cruel run offs. Entirely natural, the course has been formed around the contours of the land; no earth has been moved, and streams meander throughout the site. The majority of the course is still played as it was when first laid out in 1889 and heather, humps, hollows, pools, and streams remain nature’s defense against shooting a low score. But, whilst avoiding the streams, make sure you take time to enjoy the delights of being in the peaceful heart of the Ashdown Forest, where the only sounds you are likely to hear apart from other golfers are the woodland birds. The course recently played host to the Sussex PGA championship. Whilst very few were taking their driver off the tee, only one player managed to break par with a one-under score of 67 with the average score just over 72, showing it’s a course for accuracy and distance control!
