A Del of a course
Although this course is not a long course, the Del Webb design and layout challenges you to make good club selections as you balance the benefits of good ball position versus going for distance.
I actually liked the way the traps were positioned, as well as, the numerous pond/lakes that adorn the course and challenges you more than you would think for a desert course. My wife actually liked all the giant fish in the lakes.
My biggest complaint would be the lack of coarse markings or a GPS system on the cart to help with distance, and I consider myself someone who plays a lot by feel and does not rely a lot on modern technology. That said, perhaps there were some books that would've given the distances to various hazards.
All in all, I would definitely play there again and really enjoyed the time out on the course even in 99° weather… was a dry heat… LOL.
Wow, now worse course in High Desert
I have played this course since it opened and was shocked at how this course looked when I played it. I heard they have new ownership and they let it go. Brown fairways, bunkers haven't been maintained in months and greens are yellow and dirt is showing. It is absolutely embarrassing. I always bragged about how well they maintained the course and how it was always one of the best in the high desert. They raised the rates and the course is now the worst. I will not be playing the course until they maintain the course. Wow, how disappointing. My dad told me the new ownership bought a course in San Diego and they let that course go as well. He called it!
Very poorly maintained
The fairways are nothing but divots, no repairs done. The bunkers have no sand and are all rocks and gravel. Out of the 5 local courses this place had the worst greens by far. Super slow and very bumpy. In addition to being the most expensive course and not even being a full length course, will not play again in the near future.
This course was good for a casual round of golf
course was in nice condition and the staff was very good
Nice little desert gem
Yes it's only a par 64- but do not be fooled into thinking its some dinky par 3 exec track... Ashwood has quality greens and is very well manicured. Mostly dormant in the winter, but probably very nice come spring. We had a great time, played very fast and never had anyone behind us. Price was great and very fun. Lots of challenging par 4's and some long par 3's... 200 yd plus. Great track
Great course
This was a great small course with no pat 5's. It was a little windy for the first half of our round but not too bad. The course has a total of 27 holes, and after finishing 18 in a little over 2 hours we decided to play the other 9. The staff member in the pro shop was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely play there again.
Good Day of Golf
I played in the winter so the grass was not green. Greens were in good shape. Tee boxes were good. Noticeable work needed were carts have turned grass to dirt. Some maintenance in this area needs to be done to keep the course conditions from declining.
Love, Love, Love Ashwood courses
I play Ashwood courses twice a week and love all three courses. I like switching up courses as I play 18 holes. I will continue playing Ashwood courses as long as I live in the high desert.
I agree with you 100%, I have been playing 2 other courses in the high desert, Apple Valley , and Hesperia, I played Green Tree only once, At my age the other courses are too long for me, I do enjoy playing them , but it is disappointing to take 3 to get on the green every time, After playing Ashwood for the first time a couple of weeks ago , I want to make it my home course, and want to play it as often as I can. It might be a short course but it is very challenging. With the draught in CA. and the end of the summer season, I thought the course was in very good condition, and the staff was very friendly.
Quick outting
Last minute round with my boys, course is in pretty good condition except for all the bird droppings on the greens. I have played here a few times but I've never seen so many droppings on the greens.
Fun in the morning
The course was in very good shape, the greens were just fight i could back up the ball on most of them. The regulars that play there are not very good at fixing the ball marks on the greens so I fixed plenty of them, to bad that has always been a problem on public courses.There is no need for a driver on most par fours you put the ball in the 60-70 yard range if you drive the hole. great short game course
Great play
The course is in fantastic condition. Not very long but still presents challenges. You have water on many hole, and 90% of them have green side bunkers to deal with. The greens are soft and slow for playing in the desert. Highly recommend playing he course.
great course
The course was in pretty good shape. Greens were good a bit on slow side but the ball rolled very well. Overall great experience can wait to play it again
Birch/ Sycamore
Overall great day of golfing. Did not give me course I paid for online but, I like all the courses anyway. Not a problem.
The perfect challenge
This course is great for intermediate players. It is long, wide open at times, with some challenging water obstacles. The greens were maintained and ran smooth. If you have a little bit of experience and are looking for a small challenge, this is the course to play.
Ashwood
It was a great morning to play golf with my son. The course was in good condition but the rate of play was very slow. We were scheduled to play sycamore and mesquite but we're told by the staff to play birch instead of sycamore because of the ladies club. Once we started on birch we were behind a very slow twosome that took approx 10 mins to look for a ball in the water. On the second hole they were just as slow. We pasted them to go to hole three where we found a foursome. Later we found two geoups of five playing on the same course. Because of time restraints we jumped around and missed several holes. It took us almost 4 hours to play 14 holes. I play this course a lot and really e hit it. The week before it took us 30 mins to get two hotdogs with two small bags of chips. That was 8 dollars. I heard from other who play there regularly that the company is raising prices on food and golf and cutting back on services. Too bad. It's a good ciurse
Very green course
Course was outstanding. Excellent conditions. Nice
ashwood is a great course
the course is in really good shape but there was men club and the hackers club . some of the guys in the hackers club were pretty rude when we got to the tee box . they did not like the fact that we were a twosome.
Going down hill
Ever since new management came in, the course is starting to go down hill. The sand traps don't get any attention. The staff isn't friendly. They have been watering while golfers are on the course. Tough to play when you have to hit your ball while trying to avoid the sprinklers. Time to find a new course to play at. I normally play this course once a week but that's changing going forward
Loved it
I loved the lay out of the driving range and the course!! We played at 8:20 am and finished 18 by 12:00!! I loved everything about the course, the fairways and the greens were perfect! If I had to say something bad about the place it would have to be the rocky sand traps!! I wasn't in them but my buddy was and he didn't like them!! I was in the fairway the whole time!! 2 thumbs up from me!! I am definitely playing here again!!!
In good shape
No water at any of the water stations. Carts are on their last legs, but other than that nice course
Mr. Bragg,
We appreciate you choosing to spend your day with us at Ashwood! I would like to explain to you the set backs we have incurred this summer in course conditions and most importantly our plan to improve these in the coming months. Also would like to clarify change in management and not ownership. Your support of Ashwood is important to us. Please call 760.240.1800 ext. 5 or e-mail jlake@troon.com at your convenience.
Thank you,
Justin Lake
General Manager
