More about Ashford

Ashford Golf Club is located on the west side of Ashford, set in the countryside close to the M20 motorway and the Channel Tunnel.

It is a challenging 18-hole parkland course that demands accurate shots to tree lined fairways and difficult to hit greens. From the sloping fairway of the opening hole, with its pond to catch any balls off line, through to the difficult par 3 finishing hole, Ashford presents a true test of enjoyable golf.

After your round you can relax in their newly refurbished clubhouse where you can enjoy a drink and a meal overlooking the course.

For those wanting to spend longer in the area, perhaps for the Open Week, there are excellent road links and numerous hotels and guest houses in the town and surrounding area offering a range of accommodation.

Ashford is also well located to visit the beautiful Kent countryside or the coastal resorts and the historic city of Canterbury, with its renowned cathedral, is only half an hours drive away.
