Cold Ashby Golf Club
About this course
Cold Ashby Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, near the village of Cold Ashby between Northampton and Rugby. The course was designed by David Croxton, a British golf architect whose work is found primarily across the Midlands and northern England. The layout occupies elevated farmland that offers long views across the surrounding agricultural landscape, characteristic of this part of the East Midlands. The course plays across gently undulating terrain with a mix of open and tree-lined holes. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into shallow valleys. Mature hedgerows and specimen trees frame many fairways, remnants of the field boundaries that once defined the farmland. The design incorporates strategic bunkering and water features on select holes, asking golfers to navigate both the topography and these hazards. Cold Ashby serves a local membership and visitors from the surrounding region. The club maintains a traditional English parkland character, with the course offering a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of abilities. The setting remains largely rural, with the village itself small and the course providing a quiet retreat from nearby towns and the M1 corridor that runs several miles to the east.
