Frequently Asked Questions

With three distinct 9-hole loops - Winwick, Ashby, and Elkington - which combination offers the best 18-hole experience at Cold Ashby?

For a truly varied 18-hole round, we highly recommend combining the Ashby and Elkington courses. The Ashby loop gives you a classic parkland feel with some challenging longer holes, while Elkington offers a slightly more open, links-style vibe on its back nine, providing a great contrast. If you're looking for a quicker, more relaxed nine, the Winwick is your go-to.

When is the ideal time of year to play Cold Ashby Golf Club, considering the English weather?

We've found late spring through early autumn - May to September - offers the best conditions at Cold Ashby. The courses drain well, but you'll appreciate the firmer fairways and more predictable weather during these months. Aim for a weekday morning to avoid the busiest times and enjoy a more serene round.

How challenging are the courses at Cold Ashby for different skill levels, particularly for a mid-handicapper?

Cold Ashby is surprisingly accommodating for all skill levels, but it certainly offers a good test. A mid-handicapper will find the Ashby and Elkington courses engaging, with their par 36 layouts demanding accurate iron play and smart course management. The Winwick, being a par 34, is a fantastic option for a confidence-boosting round or for those newer to the game.

What's a must-play hole or a particularly memorable stretch of golf at Cold Ashby?

You absolutely have to experience the stretch from the 7th to the 9th on the Ashby course. The 7th, a challenging par-4, demands a precise tee shot, leading into the picturesque 8th with its strategic bunkering. Finishing on the 9th, a strong par-5, provides a fantastic opportunity to end your front nine with a flourish.
