30+ Scenic Golf Courses along the Bay of Fundy!

Getaway from the busy city life and come to the Bay of Fundy, where tee times at incredibly scenic and challenging golf courses await you. Along the Fundy coast there are over thirty 9- and 18-hole courses with an additional sixty courses within a relatively short drive from the Bay. Some of the highest rated courses in Canada can be found in the Maritime Provinces and golfing here can be described as nothing short of invigorating, rewarding and picturesque. Compared to equivalent courses throughout Canada, the United States and further abroad, Fundy’s courses also have the added bonus of relatively inexpensive green fees.

Some of Fundy golf highlights include:

The Algonquin Golf Course
In historic St. Andrews by-the-Sea discover The Algonquin Golf Course & Academy where golfer’s have been testing their skills since 1894. An 18-hole course that delights and challenges golfers of all levels, the Algonquin Golf Course was listed in Top 100 Courses in Canada in 2006 and ranked 6th in 2009 on the list of the Best Public Courses in Atlantic Canada (ScoreGolf, 2011). Views from this course, mostly oceanfront, can be described as nothing short of astounding.

Royal Oaks Golf Club
Situated in Moncton, New Brunswick, the Royal Oaks Golf Club is one of Golf New Brunswick’s Signature Courses. The magnificent landscape at Royal Oaks, comprised of large lakes and rolling dunes, is an excellent stage for an invigorating game of golf. Designed by Rees Jones, the course offers its players bent grass fairways, tees and greens, strategically placed bunkers, challenging approaches and first-rate greens.

Digby Pines Golf Resort
Follow this 18-hole championship course as it winds its way through an evergreen forest and over a winding brook. Set above the Bay of Fundy, the Digby Pines Golf Course was designed by the famous Canadian architect Stanley Thompson. Hole 2 has been described by golf writers across the country as one of the most picturesque and challenging holes in Canada.
