Ashton Golf Club, Ashton-under-Lyne

Customer: Ashton Golf Club
Location: Ashton-under-Lyne
Timeline: Hire for 2 months (during 2023 Autumn time)
Product: 100+ DuraMatt Light/Medium Duty Access Mats
Team: MultiMatts

Ashton Golf Club contacted us in search of a cost-effective and practical solution to support regular access and ground protection during maintenance works on their greens, bunkers, and fairways. The system needed to be lightweight, easy to install, and capable of protecting the turf from damage caused by small plant and machinery.

To meet their needs, we supplied our DuraMatt Light/Medium Duty Access Mats, which could be handled by one or two of their ground staff.

The smooth sided surface was ideal for the well kept grounds, to store and take away rolls of grass, mounds of sand, and excess soil. Compared to alternatives like plywood, DuraMatt offered many benefits, making it the preferred choice for the club’s ongoing maintenance needs.

The DuraMatts were a great solution—lightweight, easy to handle, and much better than the wooden planks we used to make do with.
They protected our turf much better and reliably during maintenance.


Head Greenkeeper, Ashton Golf Club

Ashton Golf Club chose to hire the DuraMatts rather than purchase them, allowing them to access the matting for the exact duration needed to complete their project. This flexible option meant the mats could be returned upon project completion, eliminating the need for storage or long-term ownership.
