The Club was officially opened in 1932 and has regularly featured in the Top 100 golf courses in the UK.  A beautiful course set in National Trust land with roaming deer.  The club has hosted regional qualifying for The Open for the past 6 years which demonstrates that it is no easy test of golf but a very enjoyable one at the same time. 

Ashridge first came to prominence, however, in the late 1930's following the appointment of Henry Cotton as resident Club Professional. Sir Henry Cotton as he was to become, was arguably the best golfer of his era, winning three Open Championships including the Open at Carnoustie in 1937 whilst he was at Ashridge. In fact, in that year Sir Henry's two Assistants Bill Laidlow and Fred Robertson, finished 7th and 18th respectively, the only occasion during the last 100 years when three representatives of the same Club finished so high in the order.
