Ashburnham Golf Club

Ashburnham, the demanding seaside venue where the great Welshman and winning Ryder Cup Captain, Dai Rees won the PGA title in 1959, has long been regarded as one of the best links courses in Britain. Indeed it won that rating from no less authority than the immortal Harry Vardon. He twice played the course, enjoying himself immensely and was compelled to record soon afterwards that "The course I like best in Wales is Ashburnham".  The course that you tackle today is basically the layout, which the redoubtable J. H. Taylor designed in 1910.  Overlooking Carmarthen Bay, the course has it's first two and final two holes inland near the clubhouse. Holes three to eight strike out, parallel to the sea, straight into the prevailing wind and holes nine to fifteen run back with the wind directly behind.  Visitors are always welcome.
