Ashton & Lea Golf Club

Ashton & Lea Golf Club is situated in beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Preston offering tremendous views. The Club has been established in the Lancashire area since 1908, the course borders on the new Millennium Ribble Link and offers a welcome retreat from the busy Preston City centre, just 10 minutes away.

Ashton & Lea is a fairly flat course and provides a fair test of golf for players of all abilities, but it is a course that requires the player to think and plot their way round.

The course features three tricky par-3's, most notably the 6th, where out of bounds awaits any errant tee shots leaked to the right. Water plays its part at Ashton & Lea, as seven holes on the back nine are affected by it. Another of the outstanding holes is the short par-4 13th - on the tee the player is faced with either attempting to fly the water that lurks around 210 yards from the tee, or play safe and lay-up short leaving a longer second. The approach shot is played downhill to a bowl shaped green; a par here is readily accepted.
