Golf Courses and Conditions

Pros:

  • "Fantastic golf and craft resort. The golf courses are in fantastic condition."
  • "Considering how many golfer's playing the courses are in quite good condition."
  • "Excellent golf courses that are very diverse and challenging, need a buggy which are £20 deposit and around that again for the day’s hire."
  • "Great concept with 4 courses in good condition."
  • "The golf courses were immaculate, only problem was no marshalling on the pines and beaches 6+ hr rounds not good as a lot of other groups backed up on tees!!"
  • "Courses are always great obviously not your birkdale or royal at George's but great for all levels of golfer...."
  • "Golf courses in excellent condition and to many other activities to list most included in cost ideal place for anybody looking for an active break good food and friendly staff have already booked for 2018."
  • "A great place for any level of golfer, with seven golf courses to choose from to play on. All courses are well maintained to a very high standard."

Cons:

  • "At the time we played they had done a lot of maintenance on the greens. This meant they weren't at their best."
  • "The buggy price has risen significantly from free to £30 per day."
  • "Rooms are clean but dated. The half-board buffet was superb. So many other sports to play in downtime. The courses are in great condition. The hilly terrain means some courses need a buggy."
  • "However the resort is very tired and the rooms too small no ac or fridge."
  • "The room. We'll we are leaving a day early to get a good night's sleep. A particular problem was either drunk golfers stomping up the wooden staircase at midnight or the generator (I'm not kidding) grinding away at 3am EVERY NIGHT/ MORNING."
  • "Sadly the condition of the golf courses were poor. This was most evident on the Beeches course which provided the worst greens I have ever played on."
  • "Food was lovely but the golf courses are nice but the greens are awful and when I asked why I got the usual answer of the weather last year delayed work on them."
  • "A void this place rooms badly need to be up graded bedding smelly food and dinning hall like being at school but food very bad not healthy at all, great if you want to have same food every day and want to eat chips and fatty food."

Accommodation and Facilities

Pros:

  • "Very enjoyable place to stay great courses good food good rooms lots of other activities great swimming pool 10 pin bowling snooker and many other activities - more time needed."
  • "Rooms are fine. Food delicious and plenty of it. Loads of activities to try."
  • "The rooms are clean. The facilities for activities are second to none."
  • "Rooms free star Style accommodation mostly And with 5 star facilitiesas well and the staff are friendly and well helpful. Enjoyed my stay."
  • "Accommodation clean and comfortable. Have been with golf society for the last 2 years and going again next year."
  • "Rooms are a little dated but sufficient. Lots of activities to choose from."
  • "Great activities, always something to do. Good food. Room and decor reminds me of fawlty towers! Outdated, artex on walls and pattern carpets and bedding. But clean!"
  • "Great place to stay with family for a short holiday, plenty of fun activities to keep everyone for all ages entertained, there is a wide variety of food and the service is great, there is also WiFi in the rooms which is a plus, it deserves more than a 3 star rating."

Cons:

  • "I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for 5+ accommodation as it's a bit basic as are the eating arrangements."
  • "A nice place to spend a long weekend. Plenty of golf for those that are interested. Plenty of other activities for those not... could just do with a bit of updating (decor wise) and disappointing as a group of couples all being given triple rooms (3 single beds in each)...."
  • "The facility is very large and also pretty old. The rooms probably haven’t been renovated since the 90s (no joke), but I think it’s really all about the activities."
  • "Food is fantastic and can't complain about any of the service except for increase in price and not as much of a golden touch. There used to be golf balls or a little surprise left on your bed when you arrive. Sadly it makes sense due to increase in popularity and such over time."
  • "The golf side of our holiday was 5 star very well organised but as for the hotel very outdated and very depressing the rooms were clean on arrival we stayed for 7 days and the room was not cleaned once nor towels replenished even on request the food is plentiful but very processed not much fresh vegetables or fruit on offer would stay again but only for a couple of days."
  • "Had a great weekend. Enjoyed trying new crafts. Plenty of sport activities. Food good and plentiful, staff helpful and pleasant. Beautiful surroundings. So much to do and great value for money. Recommend."
  • "This was my 10th visit to Ashbury. The accomodation was clean and comfortable. The food was good and well presented. The staff were excellent. Sadly the condition of the golf courses were poor."
  • "Aaaah the place of Men, Beer, Food and Golf. What a place .... Cheap ... Cheerful... So much to do... We go every year and are visiting again in 2 weeks !"
