Ashfield golf club Armagh
Ashfield Golf Course
Ashfield Golf Club was designed by Frank Ainsworth and founded in 1990, it is an excellent 18-hole Parkland course. Measuring 5,606 yards with a Par 69 and a standard scratch of 67 off the men's tees, the ladies plays at 5,234 yards with a Par 71 and standard scratch 69.
Ashfield is maturing nicely with numberless mature trees and strategically bunkers just waiting for that wayward ball. The signature hole is undoubtedly the 6th at 194 yards the green is well protected by water, requiring careful club selection.
The clubhouse offers the visitor full catering facilities and because of Ashfield's relatively low membership visitors and societies are always welcome.

Members Achievements
History of Ashfield
Ashfield was officially opened by championship golfer, Fred Daly M.B.E. (R.I.P.) on Friday 28th September 1990 after over two years work designing the layout by Frank Ainsworth (of Malone golf club, Belfast) and converting the land from an arable farming set up by James and Elizabeth Quinn.
The course has seen continuous improvement over the years with thousands of trees planted from a wide variety of species, new lakes added, maturing greens and larger tee boxes all aimed at enhancing the challenge and the enjoyment.
