The Astbury

Looked at this course many times but never booked it.

Club house was fantastic' lad in pro shop very helpful and course condition was great.

Despite all these good things the three of us said we probably wouldn't play here again' because 4 par 5's and 5 par 3's' just seemed to spoil it....but glad i got to play it.

We have played The Astbury 5 times now and have always been impressed with everything. Staff, course, course conditions and the views make it one of our favourite courses.

This visit was no differenct, absolutely lovely conditions, fantastically quick and unencumbered round. Very relaxed staff for such a prestigious feeling course. We can not recommend this place highly enough. Thanks to all involved, keep it up!

Wow ,absolutely stunning course and surroundings all in prestine condition,couldn't keep grin off my face,gives you a chance of birdies if you strike ball well,last hole is spectacular,will definitely go back and try again.

Our fourball enjoyed the whole day and would highly recommend a visit. Not an easy course but a fair challenge. A different type of course than you will generally find. Very well maintained, fairway were like walking on a shag pile carpet. Thenks for the chance to play it.

From most tee's it looks an easy course, but if you dont hit the fairways, the rough will punish you if you are lucky enough to find your ball! Still a great course to play. If I had to find a bad thing about the place it would be a minimal moan - not enough waste bins on the course so my bag was full if empty water bottles, and a few ball cleaners on the tee's wouldn't go a miss, but it won't put me off going back.

Second time playing this course. The greens were in excellent condition, very fast considering recent rain in previous days. Incredibly friendly staff and a very relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend this this course to anybody and everybody.

This is the fourth time I have played the course and as usual the course is in excellent condition and a good test of golf.

Great Game of Golf, fabulous setting and great course conditions

Have played twice at the Astbury over the summer period. Can't believe the value for money for the quality of the course. Every part was immaculate from fairways to greens. Challenge for any standard of player and excellent range of holes. Course will only mature too. Will definitely return.

Made to feel really welcome by staff in golf shop and bar, superb course with elevated tees on most holes. All holes have lots of character/shape. Need to hit fairways or Velcro rough awaits. Par 3's and par 5s give you good chance for birdies. My only minor criticism is a couple of driving nets to warm up would help. Can't wait to go back!

What can I say, this course was truly amazing, well looked after with beautiful views, loved every second on this course and definitely coming back real soon

A very good course with some really good holes. The star of the show though were the greens they were immaculate. Probably the best greens I've ever played on. I haven't played millions of different places but my playing partner on the day has travelled about a bit and he agreed they were absolutely superb. Very quick and true. The greens on the front 9 still had a bit of feed on them but it didn't really effect the roll. The back 9 though were absolutely fantastic. The course itself is very good, some really nice looking holes set in some fantastic scenery. There's not huge amounts of risk off the tee so you can get away with a wayward drive or two. They've countered this by making the fairways very narrow so it is difficult to find the short stuff. The bunkers are well placed and the sand in them is perfect. Not too much or too little. It's not a hugely long course imo, even off the back tees which we played off. Then again my home course is over 7200 off the back so perhaps it's just what I'm used to. Next time I play I think I'll leave my driver in the bag and just hit 3 wood or hybrid off the tee to make sure I find the fairways more often. We played around half 11 and luckily the course was pretty quiet so we were able to take our time and really enjoy it. It started to get very busy when we'd finished though so I'd definitely recommend playing as early as you can. The staff were very friendly, the beer was great but not ridiculously expensive. There's no driving range or proper warm up area which i would have liked as I'm not one of these players who can just turn up and hit it. There is a good sized putting green though which is just as good as the greens on the course. Overall me and my playing partner had a fantastic day which was undoubtedly helped by the gorgeous weather. It was touching 30 degrees and I forgot my sun cream so ended up with a sunburnt face. We will definitely be back again in a couple of months! If you ever get the chance please play this course you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended!!

This course is well kept and the best in Shropshire. We play a 4/8 ball every Saturday and have played most courses in a 50 mile radius of Shrewsbury with the astbury being our favourite. Can't wait to play again

3rd time played 3rd great experience from booking in to putting the empty glasses back on the bar staff more than helpful food really nice oh and the golf course was in tip top Condition wind picked up on the back nine and got the better of me put one in the water on the last but made a good 5 {if one exists) so we will be back soon

Excellent course fantastic greens

Course in very good condition

A golfing gem in Shropshire

On arriving at the course the young lady in the shop was very pleasant, and informative. She helped with directions to locker rooms and toilets, and when I was ready pointed me in the direction of the first tee.

The course was in excellent condition, greens were slow but that was due to the weather I think.

Was a very good course a pleasure to walk round and not too hard at all.

One of my favourite golf courses. As always was in superb condition. I would highly recommend it to people who have never played there before.

Following the success of the Me & My Golf online tuition directed by residents Andy and Piers of The Astbury, it seemed only fitting to give this course a try. It lived up to expectations from the minute you drive up towards the spectacular Astbury Hall owned by Ken Downing of the legendary Judas Priest fame. The welcome by the golf shop hostess was fantastic giving us a guided tour of the facilities on offer. The course was meticulous and well manicured and the cut of the fairways of which I had never experienced. Undulating greens of billiard table style quality and a finishing par three over the lake completed a fantastic game of golf. Well recommended and another visit already planned.

Was in the area on trip down from Scotland , booked not knowing what to expect , what pleasant surprise I got course was in top condition even though still early on in season greens were excellent had great roll, Thanks to Bethany who came out in the buggy to make sure I made it to the first tee , made to feel very welcome .Will deffinately be back next year

The Astbury is a very welcoming course, and as a novice golfer I felt comfortable. On arrival the man in the club shop showed us around and explained everything (nice touch!), and we enjoyed some nice coffee's in the club house before teeing off. The course itself was in excellent condition especially as the weather had been quite bad during the week. The views are spectacular, and the manor which houses the club house is a nice sight. The club house is my favourite of any I have visited. Being a musician, K.K Downing has decorating the place with musical memorabilia which is an added bonus to a great golf course. The food was also good. The whole experience oozed class, but we did not feel out of place at all. A must try for golfers of all levels.
