Ashridge is a great example of how your enjoyment of a course can depend on whether it's set up for recreational golfers or top amateurs. When we played a couple of years ago on the eve of a high-level competition, the rough was so punishing, the round became an ordeal.
But on our latest visit, Ashridge was a delight. Did that mean it was easy? Of course not!
