Glasgow Hills, a Les Furber design that has set a new standard in golf on Prince Edward Island when it opened to much fanfare in 2001. Great conditions and memorable holes, this friendly and welcoming golf course was sculpted from the hillsides of New Glasgow and has sensational views of the PEI countryside, River Clyde and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. You will love the elevation changes that provide the panoramic views at Glasgow Hills, a design characteristic not found in many courses on the Island. Notable accolades include a four star rating from Golf Digest and a listing in the top 70 golf courses in Canada from the readers of The Globe and Mail

36 holes, 2 exceptional golf courses, one convenient location

About Dundarave: Designed by the renowned team of Michael Hurdzan / Dana Fry who’s designs have been prolific across North America (Devil’s Paintbrush, Devil’s Pulpit, Le Diable, Georgian Bay Club just to name a few). Their only design on the Island of Prince Edward Island has received numerous accolades, most recently being ranked as the #28 public golf course in Canada (SCOREGolf, 2021).

Expansive, tree-lined fairways at Dundarave lead to large, cleverly contoured greens protected by red sanded bunkers, unique to this course and characteristic of PEI’s red soils. The 18 holes meander through some of the most stunning terrain on the island. Some holes play in open meadow, another section is in woods, a stretch wind along the river’s edge and several holes run up and down hills and skirt pond and wetlands. Stunning and exciting!

About Brudenell: Long recognized as the most popular golf course on the Island, this picturesque garden and river course offers six par 3′s, six par 4′s and six par 5′s. Broad fairways and manicured greens are accented by numerous gardens, lakes and ponds. Built in 1969 by renowned Canadian course architect Robbie Robinson, this nationally acclaimed layout is a local and traveler’s favorite. No stranger to accolades, this course cracked the SCOREGolf Top 100 courses in Canada rankings from 2000 – 2008.

Reachable par 5’s, stern par 4’s and exacting short holes will bring you through vast stands of trees, stunning shorelines and tranquil wetlands. A place that golfers of all abilities will truly enjoy, many will have a chance for a career round on this most pleasurable shot-maker’s routing.

PEI’s highest ranked golf course and flagship course, this Thomas McBroom oceanside masterpiece is recognized as the #16 public golf course in Canada (SCOREGolf, 2021). The course has been the Island’s must-play since it opened in 1994, when it was instantly recognized by Golf Digest as Canada’s Best New Course for that year. Undulating fairways, water holes with a wisp of wind, pot bunkers, challenging greens, stunning ocean views, and the island’s best conditioning all come together to provide you with an experience not to be forgotten, setting the gold standard for golf on PEI. The engaging layout and architecture features several inland holes (front 9) complemented by some gorgeous coastal holes (back 9). 

Keep in mind, the location of the course near the ocean lends itself to some windy conditions which can put some serious teeth in layout. The windy location and sod stacked bunkers add to the links feels of the course while the tree lined inland holes remind you that you’re in Canada.
