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.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
