Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club
Royal Ashdown has two 18 hole courses - the Old and the West. The Old Course has been used by the R&A as an Open Championship Regional Qualifying venue, hosted the international match between England and Spain in 2007 and the Senior Woman's English Close Amateur Stroke Play Championship in June 2009. In August 2011 the Old Course staged the Ladies' British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship.
The West Course was first constructed as a nine hole course in 1889. It was transformed to 18 holes in 1932 in time to host the English Ladies Championship, the same year that the Ladies Golf Club was given Royal status in its own right.
Since then the course has gone through several major developments and today the West Course is open to golfers and societies of all handicaps. Its attraction is that tee time availability, even at weekends, is rarely a problem and there are a number of attractive promotional green fees on offer. Three and four balls and societies are all welcome even at weekends.
