                        ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

      This Environmental Indemnity Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of
the 2nd day of April, 2004, by ASHWORTH EDC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, having an office at 2765 Loker Avenue West, Carlsbad, California 92008
(the "BORROWER"), and ASHWORTH INC., a Delaware corporation having an office at
2765 Loker Avenue West, Carlsbad, California 92008 (the "BORROWER PRINCIPAL"),
in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, whose address
is 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255, (together with its
successors and/or assigns, "INDEMNITEE"), and the other Indemnified Parties. The
Borrower and the Borrower Principal may be referred to herein individually and
collectively as the "INDEMNITOR."

                                    RECITALS:

      The Borrower is the fee owner of that certain real property more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (said real property,
together with any real property hereafter encumbered by the lien of the
Mortgage, being herein collectively referred to as the "LAND"; the Land,
together with all structures, buildings and improvements now or hereafter
located on the Land, being collectively referred to as the "PROPERTY"). The
Indemnitee is prepared to make a loan (the "LOAN") to the Borrower in the
principal amount of $11,650,000, to be evidenced by the Note and a certain Loan
Agreement of even date herewith (the "LOAN AGREEMENT") and secured by, among
other things, the Mortgage which will encumber the Property. This Agreement is
not secured by the Mortgage or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan
Agreement).

      The Indemnitee is unwilling to make the Loan unless the Indemnitor agrees
to provide the indemnification, representations, warranties, and covenants and
other matters described in this Agreement for the benefit of the Indemnified
Parties.

                                   AGREEMENT:

      In order to induce the Indemnitee to make the Loan to the Borrower, and in
consideration of the substantial benefit the Indemnitor will derive from the
Loan, the Indemnitor agrees as follows:

request by any Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall defend same (if requested
by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) with attorneys
and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties in their sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their
sole discretion and at their sole cost and expense, engage their own attorneys
and other professionals to defend or assist them, and their attorneys shall
control the resolution of any claim or proceeding, which resolution shall be on
a reasonable basis, if, in the reasonable good faith determination of the
Indemnified Parties, such action is necessary to protect the interests of the
Indemnified Parties. In such case, the Indemnified Parties shall keep the
Indemnitor advised on a periodic basis of the progress toward such resolution.

including institution of legal action against third-parties, necessary or
appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such persons
responsible for the presence of any Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under or

the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary,
the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall not apply to the
extent that Indemnitor can prove that such liabilities and obligations arose
solely from Hazardous Materials that (i) were not present at the Property or
were not in violation of Environmental Law prior to the date that (A) Indemnitee
or its nominee acquired title to the Property (whether by foreclosure, exercise
of power of sale or otherwise), (B) a receiver was appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction for the benefit of Lender or (C) Lender becomes a
mortgagee-in-possession, and (ii) were not the result of any act or negligence

Indemnitee shall release Indemnitor of its liability hereunder upon the delivery
to Indemnitee of a Phase I environmental report in form and substance and
prepared by a firm acceptable to Indemnitee in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion, with the costs of such report, and any reasonable out-of-pocket
costs of Indemnitee in connection therewith to be at the expense of Borrower. If

Indemnitor hereby agrees that the representations, warranties and covenants
contained in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Loan Agreement are hereby made a part
of this Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set
forth herein.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                                     GENERAL

      4.1 Unimpaired Liability. The liability of the Indemnitor under this
Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and the Indemnitor hereby
consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the
provisions of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other document
which evidences, secures or guarantees all or any portion of the Loan, or is
executed and delivered in connection with the Loan (the "OTHER SECURITY
DOCUMENTS") to or with the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor or any person who
succeeds the Indemnitor or any person as owner of the Property. In addition, the
liability of the Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or
impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by the Note, the
Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any of the Other Security Documents, (ii)
subject to Section 2.5 hereof, any sale or transfer of all or part of the
Property, (iii) except as provided herein, any exculpatory provision in the
Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any of the Other Security Documents
limiting the Indemnitee's recourse to the Property or to any other security for
the Note, or limiting the Indemnitee's rights to a deficiency judgment against
the Indemnitor, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and
warranties made by the Indemnitor under the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan
Agreement or any of the Other Security Documents, or herein, (v) the release of
the Indemnitor or any other person from performance or observance of any of the

in whole or in part of any security for the Note, or (vii) the Indemnitee's
failure to record the Mortgage or file any UCC financing statements (or the
Indemnitee's improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise
perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as
security for the Note; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to
the Indemnitor and with or without consideration.

      4.2 Enforcement. The Indemnified Parties may enforce the obligations of
the Indemnitor without first resorting to or exhausting any security or
collateral, or without first having recourse to the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan
Agreement or any Other Security Documents or any of the Property, through
foreclosure proceedings or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall inhibit or prevent the Indemnitee, as permitted by applicable law, from
suing on the Note, foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale under the
Mortgage, or exercising any other rights and remedies thereunder or under the
Loan Agreement or the Other Security Documents. This Agreement is not collateral
or security for the debt of the Indemnitor pursuant to the Loan, unless the
Indemnitee expressly elects in writing to make this Agreement additional
collateral or security for the debt of the Indemnitor pursuant to the Loan,
which the Indemnitee is entitled to do in its sole discretion. It is not
necessary for an Event of Default to have occurred pursuant to, and as defined
in, the Loan Agreement for the Indemnified Parties to exercise their rights
pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary

                                       5

<PAGE>

contained in the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the Other Security
Documents, the obligations pursuant to this Agreement are exceptions to any
non-recourse or exculpation provision of the Loan Agreement; the indemnitor is
fully and personally liable for obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement,
and Indemnitor's liability is not limited to the original or amortized principal
balance of the Loan or the value of the Property.

      4.3 Waivers.

            (a) The Indemnitor hereby waives (i) any right or claim of right to
cause a marshaling of the Indemnitor's assets or to cause the Indemnitee or the
other Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the security for the Loan
before proceeding under this Agreement against the Indemnitor; (ii) and
relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors
or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation which the Indemnitor may have,
provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent
upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims
or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement
or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights, including, without
limitation, any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of
the Indemnitee or the other Indemnified Parties; (iii) the right to assert a
counterclaim, except when such counterclaim is against a third (3rd) party, or a
mandatory or compulsory counterclaim (or any other claim that must be waived at

action or proceeding brought against or by the Indemnitee or the other
Indemnified Parties; (iv) notice of acceptance hereof and of any action taken or
omitted in reliance hereon; (v) presentment for payment, demand of payment,
protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or other
proof, or notice or demand; and (vi) all homestead exemption rights against the
obligations hereunder and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor hereby
agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any
collateral securing the Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full. No
delay by any Indemnified Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right.

            (b) THE INDEMNITEE AND THE INDEMNITOR EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE
INDEMNITEE AND THE INDEMNITOR, AND THE INDEMNITEE AND THE INDEMNITOR ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT NO PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS MADE
ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY
TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THE INDEMNITEE AND THE INDEMNITOR FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER
BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT THEY
HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

<PAGE>

      5.9 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein provided are

                                    ARTICLE 6

                          SPECIAL CALIFORNIA PROVISIONS

      6.1 Waivers. The Indemnitor hereby waives:

            (a) an election of remedies by any Indemnified Party, even though
that election of remedies, such as a non judicial foreclosure with respect to
any security for the Loan (whether such security is real property or personal
property), for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the guarantor's rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section
580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise,

            (b) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides
that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other
respects more burdensome than that of the principal, or

            (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnitor
hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available
to the Indemnitor under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839,
2845 through 2847, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, and California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726.

      6.2 Loan Amount No Limitation. The amount of the Indemnitor's liability
under this Agreement is unrelated to, and independent of, the amount of any loss
that the Indemnitee may suffer by reason of the failure of the Loan to be repaid
in full, and shall not be determined by

                                       8

<PAGE>

reference to the amount of any Loan loss. No amount paid to any Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to be paid on account of
the Loan or any deficiency or loss suffered by the Indemnitee by reason of the
failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by
any Indemnified Party shall not be construed as an indirect attempt to recover
any such Loan loss. The Indemnitor acknowledges that the Indemnitor may have
liability under this Agreement even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a
full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Mortgage, and that the amount
of the Indemnitor's liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by
the Indemnitor for the Property.

      6.3 Legal Effect of Agreement. The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee agree
that: (a) this Agreement is intended as the Indemnitee's written request for
information (and the Indemnitor's response) concerning the environmental
condition of the real Property security as required by California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5; and (b) each provision in this Agreement (together with
any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such provision) with respect to the
environmental condition of the real Property security is intended by the
Indemnitee and the Indemnitor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, and as such it is expressly
understood that the Indemnitor's duty to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder
shall survive: (i) any judicial or non judicial foreclosure under the Mortgage,
or transfer of the Property in lieu thereof; (ii) the release and reconveyance
or cancellation of the Mortgage; and (iii) the satisfaction of all of the
Indemnitor's obligations under the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement and
the Other Security Documents.

      6.4 Inspection Rights. The Indemnitee shall have the right to enter and
inspect the Property for any Hazardous Materials pursuant to California Civil
Code Section 2929.5, to obtain a court order to enforce that right, and to have
a receiver appointed pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564
to enforce the Indemnitee's right to enter and inspect the Property.

      6.5 Remedies. Upon any breach of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have
the right to commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of
competent jurisdiction for breach of contract pursuant to California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 736, whether commenced prior to foreclosure of the
Property or after foreclosure of the Property, and to seek the recovery of any
and all costs, damages, expenses, fees, penalties, fines, judgments,
indemnification payments to third parties, and other out-of-pocket costs or
