The West was once the longest Ladies Golf Club in England. It was originally founded as the Ashdown Forest & Tunbridge Wells Ladies Golf Club in 1889, barely six months after the formation of the main club and was only the second of its type to be formed in Great Britain, after Sunningdale Ladies. Whereas banks of heather, gorse and thick rough help defend the Old Course in the absence of bunkers, the West is an altogether tighter challenge with narrow tree lined fairways and small, often elevated greens with some fiendish run-offs.

Slow play and too many dog walkers that don’t wait or care. Walked off after the 5th. Shame as it is a lovely course with lovely settings.
