Ashton Hills Golf Club

The course was nice, and the greens were super-fast. Our party of 4 was approached by Richard the marshal around the 12th/ 13th hole and he advised us that people were complaining that “WE” were messing up the greens. We’ve been playing for a few years, every weekend of the year except when it’s below freezing and have never had that issue before. We know proper golf etiquette and we know how to walk, but somehow he surmised that it was us causing the problem. We weren’t the first group to play the course that day, so a lot of people played before us and we also noticed minor scuffs and marks, but didn’t think nothing of it because it’s par for the course.

When Richard approached us, we just shrugged it off and made a conscience effort to watch our steps going forward, even though we knew we didn’t make those marks. After that, Richard proceeded to follow us on every hole, lurking behind us and then finally on the 16th hole we thought he left, but he was perched up top on the tee Box from another hole watching us. Golf is already hard as it is without feeling the pressure of being spied on and watched like you’re breaking the law, so it was frustrating, and nerve wrecking to play under those conditions. When we were on 16 we noticed some marks and said that he’d blame us for it, which he did when one of my colleagues went to talk to him about why he was harassing us. We then proceeded to get in to an argument with him over this and he felt he had a right to do that because of the complaints.

We then asked him to go check 17 since we hadn’t go there yet, another one of my colleagues followed him to 17 and he confirmed that there was already damage on it before we even reached it. At this point we he left us alone, he didn’t check 18, but I guess he went back to the clubhouse to tell his side of the story before we finished.

We got to the parking lot after playing, and Richard is in the back of the parking lot in his cart probably watching us. After I put my clubs away I went up to the clubhouse and spoke to the guy at the desk. A younger guy with a red beard. I proceeded to tell him what happened, never once did he look at me while talking, he had his eyes on the football game and said there were 2 sides to a story and then said that 12, yes TWELVE members called and complained about US specifically messing up the greens (incredible), and that Richard went before us on every hole before we got there and inspected afterwards to confirm that it was us. At that point I said what I had to say and left knowing I’d never be back here again.

All 4 of us are professionals between the ages of 40-45, we’re not some teenagers that don’t know how to act. This type of treatment was not warranted. If you’ve explained an issue to us, then there’s no need to follow us around each hole. We acknowledged it and should’ve been left to play in peace. I hope this isn’t typical behavior of how non members are treated there. No way that this is common policy. We will never go back there and would never recommend it to anyone that we know.

Best greens shape ever for this course. Green keeper A plus

Great course, well manicured! Fast greens, but know driving around with drinks or food. Everything else was great

Some hidden obstacles that makes it more challenging.

Just enough water to keep you honest.

They have narrow and wide fairways.

Greens are in really good shape.

Sand traps do need work, some tend to hold water and some need more sand.

Best course I've played this year. Everything in top shape. Staff very friendly. Cart girl was toooo cute! Will be back.

Love the course, greens are rolling nice; however the bunkers are not all well kept, and there are no visible markers at 200 n 150 from the green

Which can effect pace of play.

The course fairways & greens were in excellent condition.

Great greens, great layout excellent conditions.

Thourghly enjoyed the day

First time playing this course and it was a wonderful experience. Green's and tee boxes were in great condition, flag positioning was excellent as well.

Tee boxes,fairways and greens were generally in excellent condition despite all the rain and stormy weather recently. Friendly staff. Parking, clubhouse and practice facilities well designed for the easy of golfers. Pace of play was excellent. Rough cart path in certain spots. Very enjoyable round of golf.

I love this course. It is always very well cared for and the staff is friendly. The clubhouse offers food and drinks at very affordable prices. I love to take my kids here for the day. It's truly a relaxing experience.
