Open Competitions at Long Ashton Golf Club in Bristol
Posted on: 24 May 2016There are many Open Competitions for golfers in 2016 at Long Ashton Golf Club located on the outskirts of Bristol, just three miles from the City Centre. It was founded in 1893 and is one of the premier golf clubs in Bristol.
The 18 hole course is open all year round after a huge amount of work to ensure that both the greens and fairways are free-draining, meaning golf is available for 12 months and not the usual 6 as in lots of other clubs.
