Membership

Why join the Society of Ashdown Golfers?

The best value membership in the area.

As a member of the Ashdown Golfers, you will become part of our club of likeminded, friendly golfers, who enjoy uncrowded and exclusive prime time tee slots of the West Course at Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club.

Founded in 1985, Ashdown Golfers were originally based at the Ashdown Hotel adjacent to the course, (now based in the adjacent clubhouse to the Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club) and were recognised as a club in their own right by England Golf in 2003.

The club is made up of keen golfers who enjoy the company of others for informal and competitive golf. We believe that the strength of environment created by the Ashdown Golfers, coupled with quality of the West Course (as recognised by Golf World), offers the best value membership in the area.
