Ashburnham Golf Club

Founded in 1894 this 18 hole, 6627 yards, par 72 courses is one of the classic Welsh traditional links, and considered to be one of the top courses. Overlooking Carmarthen Bay, the course has its first two and final 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. With out of bounds and other assorted trouble on the right in both directions there is no place to slice. Neither are the fairways of a generous width and the fact that the current course record is no lower than 70 bears witness to the credentials of the challenge.
