First timer

Course was very nice, still a little rough in spots but I’ll chalk it up to the horrible weather previously. Not really many complaints other than the somewhat bad placemt/no signage directing to next holes.

Good course worth exploring

Weather is very good for the day and the course condition is very well maintained. Several tee off levels for one to test the skill and many holes has lots of water hazard so pretty challenging. Of course, the staff are very friendly and well mannered. Pace of play is fair as there was a foursome in front of us and very slow probably about 20 minutes delayed but is acceptable. Overall it is a very good course plus the perfect weather which made it a very enjoyable day for golfing.

Hidden Gem

This course has a private club feel for us public players. Mature trees line most holes. A great challenge for most players. Love playing this course.

Challenging and Rewarding

Found the course to be in great shape and each hole has its own beauty and strategic shots are required to avoid trouble. Lots of water and huge traps. The pin placements were interesting and our round was amazing as we finally broke that heatwave and could enjoy the fresher summer air!!

Royal Ashburn round

Great course, as always. Course is always well manicured, and the staff is courteous. We will always come back to Royal Ashburn. (In fact, my niece is getting married at the course next September).

Worst service

I played here Saturday on the hottest day of the year! We managed to only see the beverage cart once all day on the 10th hole( picked up drinks at the turn, go figure!). It was 43c with the humidity and were told many of times by the pro shop and starter to stay hydrated. Very hard to stay hydrated when the service isn’t there. For a course of this stature to have guests treated so poorly is disappointing to say the least. I was a frequent golfer here yearly but I will not be back after after my last experience. Hope your service will
Improve so other guests don’t experience the same service I had

Love this course!

Very well maintained, scenic course with challenges at practically every hole, Starters wearing kilts and Scottish artifacts along the course made the whole experience worth repeating. We will be back to play this one again :))

A true tournament layout

This course used to be a qualifying site to obtain your Canadian Tour Card. Fairways perfect, greens quick (not fast) but true. Back tee's are fair but not too long 7,000 yds or so. You can score well if you hit fairways, if you miss fairways you have no chance of playing well (a lot of tree lined fairways). I have played 3 times this season booking on golfnow the after 3pm pricing is a steal at this course. The starter's are awesome and will let you out early if there is room. Highly recommended! You will enjoy it.

A beautiful but tough course

This is a beautiful golf course and very well maintained. Lots of dog legs and water hazard and demand pretty accurate position. The fairways are very well maintained and the rough is quite thick and dense making finding your balls very difficult. Staff is very polite and friendly. The pace of play is good as the four of us can finish the play around 4 hours. Drinks are always served around the course and you can see the staff driving around the course 4 - 5 times during the play. Very good overall.

Beautiful older tree lined course.

Love this course! Always in great shape.Greens a little slow because it's early in the season. Only complaint is the crusty Marshall telling me to pick up pace when there was no one around, guess he was board.
