Just added a new picture to the website...our teaching pro Stuart Booth. Stuart has been busy this week contacting all the local school in Lancaster, offering them the opportunity to take up golf. Junior golf is on the increase all over the country, especially with golf becoming part of the Olympic Games in 2014. For the UK to grow new talent, we need to invest in our Juniors and get them out on the golf course. Many golfing parents believe that they can teach their children golf themselves and this is great, but we also recommend that to get them started properly  they take some lessons from a qualified professional. Stuart offers group lessons for Juniors and it is a great starting point for boys and girls who show an interest in the golf game. The Junior Golf Academy in Lancaster is very popular. It is also amazingly reasonable at £22.50 for 5 one hour sessions.

The children will learn the golf stance, the golf grip and the golf swing in a fun and friendly environment. They will also get qualified advise  on equipment and golf etiquette, as well as making new friends and learning new lifelong skills and all this in the outdoors. What could be better?

Stuart also offers adult lessons, either on a one 2 one basis or in a group. Call Stuart for golf lessons at Lancaster's pay and play golf course, Ashton Golf Centre. 07884135784  

The Golf Course is looking lovely this time of year, with the spring sunshine making evrything fresher and brighter and our family of deer are regularly showing their faces on the fairway.

We are open to everyone and only a 5 minute drive from Lancaster.  Come along and see for yourself....

Good weather in Lancashire yesterday, meant a great start to March, with many pay and play golfers enjoying, possibly, the warmest day this year. Let's hope this year's weather is altogether better than last. I have registered Ashton Golf Centre on twitter and am busy searching for great tweets to follow, so we can give our customers lots of interesting info and golf offers. So keep checking back on the website for golf tips. If you have a twitter account then you can follow our tweets. We also have a group on facebook, so why not become our "friend" it is easy to do, just click on the picture of  on our contact us page. I spent the day in Ulverston yesterday, with an internet marketing guru, Kay Hebbourn. We had an amazing time and I learnt so much about getting Ashton Golf Centre known worldwide. After a couple of hours of brain frazzling internet marketing, we went for a lovely work with her 3 dogs, to clear the mind and get some really fresh air...
What a stunning view..

Great to see all those old faces....I mean "familiar faces" at Ashton Golf Centre today. The sun was shining, the air warmer and the course has fortunately not been affected by Friday's rain. Martin and I are definitely missing Biff doing all the running around....up and down the stairs, serving the beer, cant wait till he's back! We have heard that Portugal are having some unseasonal weather, so i hope it is not spoiling the golf for him. Thanks to Sheila from Dove Photography AGAIN for making a special trip to Ashton to give us a new fridge. With more food on the go we are so grateful for the extra space...Thank you.
Another thank you goes to Manchester City for beating Chelsea 4-2. Well Done The Blues!!

Just spent an enjoyable afternoon at the golf centre and despite the drizzle, customers are still wanting to get out on the course and use the driving range, which is great. I believe we had a visit from a friend of ours, at lunchtime, all the way from Dubai. A long way for a bacon butty! Sorry we missed you Alisdair. Biff is still in Portugal, so it could be a long weekend for Martin and I.....going to work on Ashleigh later for her to come and help. Thanks to you all for the lovely comments about the newsletter and the new website, it has been great working on them. If you have any suggestions of what we can add to the website I would love to hear about them. Going to work on Dave and Paul, about possibly doing a gardening page for the green fingered out there.

Well, finally we have started our blog!! 2009 was a massive year for us and although the website and blog were high on the priority list, more pressing things needed to be sorted, such as sorting out the mess that the previous owner had left. As most of you will know, our main priority was making sure the course was playable, because, after all, what is a pay and play golf course without anywhere to play!! The greens have had a complete overhaul as they were in a real state, and we have been gradually making them bigger, getting them back to their original state. We have invested in new machinery for the fairways, the greens and the tees. This has made a huge difference to the condition of the golf course. Paul, Dave and Damo our greens staff have nurtured the greens back to life, not to mention the bunkers, which are now raked everyday, and are looking stunning.
