Ashridge Golf Club


Ashridge is set in National Trust and makes use of gently undulating land. Henry Cotton was club pro in the late 1930s and during his time at Ashridge, he won the 1937 Open at Carnoustie. Alex Hay was also another famous Ashridge pro. There is a distinct split between the two nines (out par 35, back par 37) and the inward loop is longer and much the harder. Accuracy is the byword especially on the par threes and the course is well bunkered with subtle greens. There are three starting points - the first, 10th and 13th - all within 50 yards of each other and close to the clubhouse. These loops of holes make for clover leaf layout. Perhaps the most memorable hole is the par four ninth which is not long at around 350 yards but the drive is blind and the approach must carry a valley to a plateau green.
