The Astbury

Not sure how I can sum up my feelings from playing on Saturday but what a fantastic course! Serious value for money at the Astbury. Everything was perfect, a course I will be returning to very regularly going forward! Wow!

Went here as a trip out for a day's golf, we choose here as it was fairly close to home, it was reasonably priced and I'd never played here before. I booked online through the golfnow website which was straightforward though I was annoyed that we had to pay £10 extra as we were only 2.

We arrive through the grand gates and driveway which certainly gives a great first impression and the clubhouse continues the initial grand feel of the place. We checked in at the pros shop and made the quite long walk around to the first tee passed a very nice looking half way cafe which we would visit later.

The course is quite hilly in parts but wonderfully presented, the tees were in excellent condition and the greens were very fast. It is a very hot and dry summer this year, but the course was very green throughout.

I birdied the final tricky par 3 over a lake to round off an excellent day. I would certainly like to play here again some day.

Course in very good condition. Worth £30 we paid. Staff friendly & bacon roll (paid for separately) was very good. Will play again at the right price.

Played here years ago and it has matured well. Course conditions were great for the time of year as the growing season begins. The off course facilities were great and the welcome friendly. The course was quiet but for a group of 30-40 who slowed myself and others, in front and behind down, to less than a snails pace - front 9 1:30 back nine 2:45. Although this is not the Astburys fault maybe remind groups of pace of play when booking in and make them aware to let others through and possibly put a course Marshall out. I will return and hopefully not for such a long back 9.

Very friendly staff. House in good condition for early season. Played as a 1 ball and not significantly held up. Will definitely play again.

Lovely 1st time visit. Club shop pro very welcoming and as soon as he knew it was our first time preceeded to give us all the hints on where to play and not too. Showed us where you go for 1st tee and was there to greet us at the end to ask how it went.

Course is very open but as no wind today, not an issue. Fairways were in good condition, rough cut down (very different prospect in summer i imagine). Greens are already quick. Dread to think how fast they will get!

£20 each.... absolute bargain!

Definitely return.

We had a fantastic time playing The Astbury. We played at the beginning of January when it was freezing cold and icy. The course was in great condition, a really interesting layout and beautifully kept. Never too wet even though it was winter and we had loads of fun. All the staff were incredibly friendly and personable and the food in the clubhouse is absolutely fantastic. All for a really reasonable price. We'll be back again soon.

Having played this a great number of times in the past i have always enjoyed playing this course. The off course facilities are significantly improved and the greens are absolutely brilliant(but try and stay below the hole with your approach). The halfway hut is absolutely fantastic and the course was in great condition even with the rain showers that we had. You have to keep it in the fairway though, find the rough and you will need plenty of golf balls.

Immaculate tee to green, best kept course I’ve played in this country for years. Friendly staff in the pro shop. Even though we were running late it wasn’t an issue.

I don't live in the area and was away for work. Finished at 3 and wanted to book a tee for just gone 4. Didn't want to spend more than £25 and went for highest rated within 15 miles on the budget. Astbury didn't disappoint. Pro's were really friendly and helpful. Course was immaculate, greens were so pure. Despite the typical English weather dumping rain for the first hour I couldn't of asked for a better visit. Will play again when back in the area.

The Astbury is a fantastic challenge for mid to low handicappers. Its is both beautiful but also brutal at times. All the greens are well protected so you have to be on your game to score well. The greens are exceptional, a high competition standard & immaculate condition. The 18th is a brilliant closing hole over water but be warned, if theres a breeze in the air against your tee shot then club up or its splosh! A first class golfing venue, totally recommend. 👍🏻

Walking around the clubhouse building and seeing the 10th hole looks impressive, but once on the course it’s a very bland layout, boring holes. Fairways were uncut and greens were average. Not very impressed. Nice area though

We had an excellent round even with the windy conditions, greens were fast but playable, fairways in very good condition considering the weather we’ve had. We’ll definitely be back .. The halfway House is a definite must, you won’t be disappointed.

First time back at the astbury in a few years. Beautiful surroundings, one of the best club houses there is out there. Course was in great condition. Few dampish areas and can tell a few days of rain and it would become rather boggy. Very punishing, a few yards off the fairway and you were in deep rough. Greens were lovely. Friendly staff and halfway house is well worth a stop. Cant fault it at all and for £25 tee time mid morning it was an absolute bargain.

Played the Astbury in difficult rain conditions but the course was superb given the constant weather barrage of late. It is both beautiful but brutal at times, a proper golf test. The greens are truly amazing, immaculate condition & pro standard easily. So good we playing the course again at the weekend.

The course was in decent condition given the amount of rain we have had over the winter, especially the greens , sand in bunkers is excellent and not a puddle in sight, however the pace of play was very very slow and where as a four ball we would usually take around 4 and a quarter hours, the round took almost 5 and a half, we teed off 5 minutes after our booked tee time and we waited approximately 3 to 5 minutes on every single hole , it was a good job the sun was shining or we would have probably walked off, to be fair the cost of the round was only £20 but perhaps this is why it was so painfully slow, everyone and his dog must have booked
