The Ashley Wood Golf Club

August 2025

We just wanted to thank you and everyone at Ashley Wood Golf Club for hosting such a fantastic Junior Open yesterday. The event was superbly organised, and every member of staff and volunteer we met so friendly, helpful, and supportive. The legendary halfway hut — with quite possibly the most delicious cakes we’ve ever had (shout out for fruit cake, flapjacks, Biscoff cake and coconut cookies) — was a real highlight! The course looked beautiful, and while we noticed some of the recent wildlife damage, it certainly didn’t detract from the stunning setting or the enjoyment of the day. The prizegiving was fun, light-hearted, and wonderfully unique with the lucky dip element — such a great way to involve everyone. This has been our first season participating in the Tour, as well as our first visit to Ashley Wood; we can honestly say it was the best event we’ve attended.

Thank you - we look forward to playing there again!

A very BIG THANK YOU to everyone at Ashley Wood GC for making us feel so welcome. We had a great day at your club. The Pro made us very welcome, he was very attentive & explained course, conditions etc very clearly & concisely…it was a very warm & friendly welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed playing your course especially after the first 5/6 holes…which were a challenge to say the least!

We had a fantastic day at The Ashley Wood. We had 30 ladies out playing, with a 2 course meal afterwards & the whole day was great. Everywhere looked fresh, clean & tidy. The place smelt nice & the welcome from Steve & Debbie was warm.  Overall a very good day out with value for money. We will be back.

A cracking day yesterday, the course was remarkably good considering the recent weather, especially the greens. The food was very good and all of the staff were charming. We had a good day!

The course was in fantastic condition, especially the greens. The welcome and understanding from yourself Steve, as always, was impeccable. 

The food again was echoed by all to be outstanding and the staff do your venue credit with their attention to detail and professionalism in the delivery. 

We all look forward to playing TAWGC as it has always been one of our most prestigious venues. Thank you and please pass on to your staff our gratitude and sincere thanks for all their hard work.

We all had a wonderful time. Very impressed with your course condition - lush fairways, and greens, for this time of year, in great condition and quite speedy. All your staff were so helpful, from the Pro shop, Debbie and all your caterers. Our room was beautifully set up. Excellent bacon and egg baps pre golf and lots of tea/coffee. The meal after golf was superb - all commented on the quality and cooking of the beef, plenty of al dente veggies, and delicious crumbles and fruit salad. Also thanked Pro shop and Debbie for their help, and several of your gentlemen members who helped me by carrying in our prizes!

I should just like to pass on our thanks to Steve and his team up at Ashley Wood for the hosting of our Society Day of 40 players last week.

The behinds the scene organisation by the Club, together with the condition of the course, clubhouse and catering were all most impressive, and I have no hesitation on providing a glowing testimony from our Society.

Thank you so much, and all the best of luck to the Club and members moving forward.

If you are looking for a Golf Day at a course which is interesting & varied, in great condition from tee box to green, coupled with great food & hospitality, book a day at Ashley Wood! Our 23 man society visited this week & everyone had a great day. A warm welcome in the clubhouse from friendly, attentive staff, with a delicious bacon roll set us off to a great start & when we went out on the course we were not disappointed. The course is interesting, challenging, not too long, but in great condition all the way around, the tee boxes were well maintained & the greens are large, flat & true - a pleasure to play! To top it all off, the food in the clubhouse was absolutely superb, a lovely Roast Dinner & tasty cheesecake topped off a great day out. We would highly recommend Ashley Wood for any golf societies looking for a new venue"
