Ashburn (New)

Due to a dramatic increase in the number of golfers that became members during the 1960s, Ashburn Golf Club realised it had to expand in order to satisfy this growing demand and so, rather than build a second 18-hole layout on its existing property, a decision was made to acquire a suitable site elsewhere and construct a modern course on that piece of land.

Thus, the New course at Ashburn is located 17 miles to the north of Stanley Thompson’s Old course in Fall River and it was here in 1970 that Geoff Cornish set out the fairways on a generous 600-acre rolling property beside the shimmering waters of Kinsac Lake.
