Ashburn Golf Club

Ashburn Golf Club has been an integral part of the Halifax landscape since Governor General Lord Byng hit the ceremonial ball from the first tee of the Old Course in 1923. Now with two challenging 18-hole golf courses and a comprehensive practice facility, Ashburn takes its place among the leading private golf clubs in Canada. The par-72 New Course, which opened in 1970, is located about 35 km north of Halifax in Windsor Junction. Situated along 600 acres of rolling land beside Kinsac Lake, the championship course designed by Geoffrey Cornish is guaranteed to challenge any golfer. Originally designed by Stanley Thompson, the Old Course remains a delightful green space just minutes from downtown Halifax. The 18-hole par-67 layout is short but tight, and offers spectacular views of the city.
