A classic links course overlooking Carmarthen Bay, which celebrated its centenary in 1994. With trouble generally to the right on most holes this is not an easy course, particularly for slicers.

Ashburnham is a very special links course that has a special place in the hearts of a number of golfers; Former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher won his very first professional event at Ashburnham when he won the Schweppes PGA Championship in 1969.
And another former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance also got his professional career off the ground when he won his first event at Ashburnham by lifting the Martini International in 1976.
