specials and giveaways, and 10 different “Parties on the Patio,” where attendees will be treated to music and food while they soak in the scenic views that overlook the course. “The words ‘hidden gem’ are used a decent amount from players that come out here,” said the club’s eighth-year PGA golf pro Dennis North, who said rounds played have been up over 4,000 per year since he arrived in 2015. “They absolutely love the golf course.” In 2016, Golf Advisor named the Ashland Golf Club the No. 1 public course in Ohio (No. 8 in the United States) with greens fees under $50. The par-72 spread features rolling, bent-grass terrain and maxes out at 6,699 yards. Many of the pines lining its tight fairways were Christmas trees planted after the holidays by club members in the 1950s. Steve Paramore, a club member and Ashland native won individual and team state titles as a golfer at Ashland High School received his training at the Ashland Golf Club during his rise to becoming one of the best linksters in Ohio. “I’ve played golf courses that are as nice as Augusta National,” said Paramore, a 2003 Ohio State Amateur champion and four-time AllAmerican at NCAA Division II powerhouse Florida Southern College. “… I know when I was even a 20-year-old guy, I always felt it was a true privilege to play the Ashland Golf Club.” Keep up with the all the celebrations happening this summer by visiting their website: ashlandgolfclubohio.com, or by following Ashland Golf Club on Facebook, agc_ohio on Instagram, and @ashlandgolfclub on Twitter.
