Ashbourne Golf Club

I live @ 20 miles from Ashbourne and driven past the course signage many times and decided to give it a go for Father’s Day.

A bit tricky to find as both satnav and google maps tried to take us to a farm. Road to the course needs a lot of attention and in places is just like a farm track.

13 tee off and got their at @ 12.30, called in the pro-shop for my mandatory ball marker. Nice putting green and pond next to it is teeming with Koi.

Tees need a bit of TLC as quite cut up, fairways in good condition, few bits of standing water but we’ve had heavy rain for previous few days. Front 9 greens were in great condition, very true but run quite slow. Back 9 have some disease and are very patchy in places (really hope they can rescue as front 9 were great).

Some really interesting well set out holes 15 and 17 my favourites but 11 will test all but anyone who can carry their driver 250 plus off the whites (My mate and I can’t and he’s off +2 and I’m off 5). Quite hilly in places so be warned.

Overall really enjoyed it and for £30 each will definitely head back there.

For the time of the year, the course conditions were brilliant. Well worth the price

Surprised how good the course was, enjoyed playing there, will definitely come again

Been round the course a few times now and issually no issues.

Over 50% of the holes are up or down hill so beware of that.

Can get backed up as it gets busy from mid morning through to early afternoon.

Dissapointed when we recently played as when got to the Clubhouse there was a notice that 3 holes were closed and it was still full price to play.

Course was absolutely stunning, first time here but we will definitely be back, can't wait to play here in the summer, staff also very friendly, greeted by the secretary in the club house who came out his was to greet us and have a conversation, 10 out of 10, cannot pick a fault with this course/club

Ashbourne GC is a friendly club, the course itself is a challenge with a good variety of holes. The course has always been looked after when I have played there, greens run at a good speed and fairways in very good condition. A course I will be playing a lot more often!

We had an enjoyable round on a fairly challenging course. Some very interesting holes and some on gradients that may prove to be a physical challenge for players that are not physically fit. The course was in very good condition and the greens were very good. Good pace and rolled well. The staff and all of the members that we encountered were very friendly. I would revisit if I am in the area again

What a fantastic golf course it has plenty of ups and downs for a challenge. The course is in great condition members are friendly and great club house

Great course, interesting holes, established layout and receptive and good running greens:

Great course, short but challenging with some picturesque holes.

Amazing that they’ve kept the course open.

Temporary tees all have distance markers .

All on summer greens

Only 15 holes open , but priced accordingly .

Great round .

Really like this course.

Course holding up well despite weather.

Temporary tees all have specific yardage ( not many courses have this )

3 holes closed - we knew this when booking , but not disclosed on golf now .

Played it for the first time yesterday. Really enjoyed it although 4 holes were shut due to weather the course was still in good condition the greens were excellent and made for a very enjoyable round. Shall certainly play again

It has been wet for a week and the weather worsened through the day but it was admirable that the course stayed open.

Lots of mud and standing water but the greens (not winter) were pretty good.

Nice variety of holes.

Worth every bit of the £20 fees

Although 3 holes were closed due to water and considering the weather conditions, I really enjoyed playing this course and will definitely be returning when the weather changes to play ALL 18 holes and hopefully enjoy a pint afterwards in the 19th

Made to feel really welcome. Beautiful course and very well maintained given the recent weather. One of my favourites.

Take a trolley.... the course is in the foot hills of the Peak District and you will feel it afterwards!

Up steep, down steep it is GRAFT!!!

Lovely course, very well kept and plenty of blind holes. You would be doing well playing to your handicap on this course for a first visit but 100% worth playing.
