"In my 15 year association with the Canadian Tour, I have personally witnessed and taken part in the set-up of numerous Championship golf courses across Canada, the United States and Mexico. Without question, The Royal Ashburn ranks among the top golf courses on which we have held competitions during my tenure with the Tour.Comments from Members who have secured their Tour Cards at The Royal Ashburn almost always include more than a few "Wow's!" sprinkled with lots of "what a great test of golf" and just this past fall a, "If you want to be under par here....you have to golf your ball." In the final analysis, the best testament to a golf course surely comes from the touring professionals that get the privilege to experience it under tournament conditions.
The Canadian Tour is indeed proud to consider The Royal Ashburn as the Home of the Canadian Tour Fall Qualifying School."
