The new owners hometown is known for Pandas and hotpot. They wanted to do something that represented where they are from and figured pandas would look better on flags than hotpot. They are also paving cartpaths in the spring and trying to open the range so hope they can make a difference I do not mind the layout.

I've played the course both prior to and after the change to Royal Stouffville. Course was exactly the same the both times I played it.
I will say this about the new management. They were very reasonable with my buddy and I. We went there on a whim after a networking event at the Markham Golf Dome. While on the way there, scoping golfnow site and found Royal Stouffville on there for $50 incl cart. Did not book, just wanted to know the price. Went in to speak with the pro and he gave us green fee for $40 each and only had to pay one cart fee. Pretty well the same price overall, but the fact that he was willing to do that was nice and brought me back for at least one more round that year.

There is 'Royal' and 'Faux Royal'. Ashburn belongs in the latter and because they proceeded without applying for a royal charter, it is likely that they never will get one......! But, who cares. It's a nice little regional course that is quite nice to play and they have a better than average dining experience.If St. Andrews is the home of golf, Askernish is it's soul......!

Can be very slow on weekends.
Not fond of the re-routing (all holes were moved back 2 holes about 10 years ago, that's why you finish on a Par 3---used to be #16)Every great idea starts out as a blasphemy

Definitely a decent course. I have been playing there a few times per year since 1984. Yes,I preferred the old routing but it was only changed due to the need for a building for the pro shop + what used to be a small restaurant. It has a good mix of holes. With a little tlc plus paving the cart paths it will be a very enjoyable course.In my Taylormade TMX Stand-bag:
