Geoffrey Cornish, a former associate of Stanley Thompson, designed Ashburn's New Course on land near Kinsac Lake after a highway expropriation cut into the club's Old Course; it opened in 1970. The layout has since hosted national and provincial championships plus Web.com Tour exhibitions featuring Mike Weir and Tom Watson.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"A traditional Cornish parkland test - flight approach shots lower when the wind picks up off Kinsac Lake."
Built in 1970 and designed by Geoffrey Cornish — a Canadian Golf Hall of Famer who'd apprenticed under Stanley Thompson — Ashburn's New Course sits 17 miles north of the club's original Thompson-designed Old Course, on 600 rolling acres beside Kinsac Lake. At par 72 and 7,039 yards it's a legitimate championship test, with tilted fairways, dramatic elevation change, and fast, undulating greens. It has hosted Korn Ferry Tour events and exhibition matches featuring Mike Weir, Graham DeLaet, and Tom Watson, plus the 2023 Canadian Women's Amateur.
Golfers who want tournament-pedigree Canadian golf and don't mind hills — a workout as much as a round.
The routing's elevation swings around Kinsac Lake create genuinely different sightlines hole to hole, which is why touring pros have used it for real exhibitions, not just clinics.
Length and green speed will humble a beginner off the tips, but forward tees and generally forgiving turf make it approachable if you play the right markers.
Appears in GSPro course lists as a community build; plays long and demanding in the sim, consistent with its championship pedigree — good for members chasing a legit yardage and green-speed test rather than a scenic cruise.
Private member club, but Ashburn does host outside events and some visitor play is arranged — check with the club directly rather than assuming walk-up access.
