Golf in Ashland

Ashland is a Hanover County town on I-95 north of Richmond that bills itself as the Center of the Universe, a claim rooted in the town's distinctive geographic character as a community bisected by the CSX railroad's main line, where trains pass within feet of the downtown storefronts. Randolph-Macon College's liberal arts campus creates the academic anchor for a town that serves as Richmond's northern gateway. Hanover Golf Club serves the county's recreational golfers. The broader Virginia community's investment in recreational infrastructure — golf courses, parks, and outdoor amenities — reflects the quality-of-life standards that have made the state consistently one of America's most desirable places to live and work.
