Golf in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island is not simply a sport—it is an immersion into the elemental beauty and cultural soul of Atlantic Canada. Here, courses rise and fall with the raw coastline, shaped by wind, salt air, and centuries of maritime history. In Nova Scotia, legendary layouts like Cabot Cliffs and Fox Harb'r are carved into cliffs and highlands overlooking the Atlantic, where each hole feels cinematic and untamed. The experience is emotional as much as athletic—mist rolling over the fairways, the crash of waves below, and the sense that you are playing at the edge of the world.
Prince Edward Island offers a different, but equally stirring rhythm. At The Links at Crowbush Cove, the game unfolds against red sandstone cliffs, rolling farmland, and beaches that glow at sunset. The island’s deep literary heritage—forever tied to Anne of Green Gables—infuses rounds with nostalgia and charm. PEI golf feels intimate and welcoming, rooted in small communities where storytelling, seafood, and seaside hospitality are part of the post-round ritual.
Together, Nova Scotia and PEI represent the soul of Canadian links golf—where Scottish tradition meets North American wilderness. These are places where wind dictates strategy, where history lingers in fishing villages and Celtic music, and where each round feels less like a checklist and more like a pilgrimage. Golf here is iconic not because of grandeur alone, but because it connects players to land, sea, and story in a way few destinations in the world can match.
The best travel plan is to catch an early morning flight out of Toronto (7:30 would be good). With the time change, you will arrive around 10:30. Grab your bags and meet your driver in the arrivals hall.

Ranked #35 on Golf Digest's World's 100 Greatest Courses. Never is the game of golf more appealing than when a course is set in a rugged, oceanfront landscape, on linksland running firm and fast.

The menu leans on local: Cape Breton seafood, quality beef, seasonal produce, handled with modern but unfussy technique. Service is polished without being stiff, attentive to dietary needs and tee‑time‑driven schedules. It’s relaxed, scenic, and comfortably upscale rather than formal.

The transfer from Cabot Cape Breton to Fox Harb'r Resort is a seamless transition between two of Atlantic Canada’s most exclusive golf experiences. While Cabot delivers rugged, world-renowned links golf along the dramatic coastline of Cape Breton, Fox Harb’r offers a refined, private club atmosphere with manicured fairways and elevated luxury. The journey between the two is not just a transfer—it’s a continuation of a premium golf itinerary through some of Nova Scotia’s most scenic landscapes.
Inside the gates of Fox Harb’r Resort, you’ll discover 88 luxurious ocean view accommodations, each offering its own generous space, individual character and intimate charm.

Atlantic Canada’s first Ocean Wise™ recognized sustainable seafood restaurant. Winner 2017 Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia Best Wine/Beverage Menu.
Breakfast at Fox Harb’r is a relaxed yet refined start to the day, framed by sweeping ocean and golf-course views. Guests enjoy fresh, locally inspired dishes such as Atlantic smoked salmon, farm-fresh eggs, and seasonal fruit, along with artisan breads and pastries. The atmosphere is quiet and unhurried, complemented by attentive service and rich coffee. Whether you fuel up before a round of golf or linger over a second cup, breakfast feels genuinely restorative.
The McBroom–Carrick commission at Fox Harb’r marks a decisive second act for the resort’s golf identity. Brought in to reimagine and extend Graham Cooke’s original work, Thomas McBroom and Doug Carrick were tasked with a politically delicate brief: modernize and elevate the course to true “national‑headline” status without openly disowning what came before. Behind the official language of “refinement” and “enhancement,” the assignment was far more radical—reshape strategy, sightlines, and overall character to align Fox Harb’r with Canada’s elite destination layouts.
Their nearly completed work has involved significant rerouting, new green complexes, and bolder use of the coastline, with an eye to championship‑calibre set‑ups and television‑ready vistas. Construction has not been subtle: tree removal, earthmoving, and rebuilt bunkering have all raised questions about ecological footprint and the erasure of the resort’s original design DNA. Supporters frame the commission as overdue modernization; critics see it as a calculated overwrite of Cooke’s authorship in favour of marquee names more marketable to international golf tourists and real‑estate buyers.
Either way, the McBroom–Carrick project has quietly, almost completely, redrawn Fox Harb’r’s golf narrative—transforming it from a private passion project into a branded, architect‑driven statement course.
Dine in the Willard and enjoy guest favourites like our famous seafood chowder, mouthwatering burgers, and a wide selection of local craft beers and premium spirits. Whether you’re unwinding after a round of golf, axe throwing, archery, or sport shooting—or fueling up before a guided bike tour—it’s the perfect place to relax and recharge.
Fireworks Tonight!
One of the standout elements of Fox Harb’r is its unique sporting lodge atmosphere. Guests can take part in guided clay shooting, archery, and axe throwing experiences, all set within a private and professionally managed environment. These activities add a distinctive dimension to the stay, creating memorable moments for couples, groups, and corporate outings. For those drawn to the water, the resort offers access to the Northumberland Strait through kayaking, boating, and coastal excursions, allowing guests to explore the surrounding landscape from a completely different perspective.
Equally important is the resort’s focus on wellness and relaxation. The full-service spa, hydrotherapy facilities, and fitness center provide the perfect balance to an active golf itinerary. Guests can unwind with treatments, enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub, or simply take in the peaceful oceanfront setting. Evenings at Fox Harb’r shift toward a more refined and social atmosphere, with exceptional dining, local seafood, wine experiences, and relaxed fireside gatherings that highlight the region’s hospitality.
Ultimately, Fox Harb’r offers a well-rounded luxury experience that complements the intensity of a golf trip with moments of comfort, adventure, and connection. Whether it’s an afternoon of sport shooting, a sunset kayak along the coast, or a quiet evening overlooking the water, the resort delivers a level of variety and sophistication that elevates it beyond a traditional golf destination.
The transfer from Fox Harb'r Resort to Crowbush Cove Golf Club is a seamless and scenic continuation of an Atlantic Canada golf journey, connecting Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore with the rolling dunes and coastal beauty of Prince Edward Island. This leg of the trip introduces a subtle shift in landscape—from refined seaside luxury to the rugged, windswept links-style golf that PEI is known for.
With its tranquil setting overlooking Prince Edward Island’s panoramic North Shore and a wide variety of activities offered on-site, the Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort is one of Atlantic Canada’s most relaxing resorts. Located on-site at the famous 4 1/2 Star Links at Crowbush Cove, just 25 minutes from Charlottetown, Rodd Crowbush offers comfortable accommodations and friendly hospitality.
The main hotel features 25 deluxe guest rooms and 24 king suites, some offering picturesque balcony views of The Links at Crowbush Cove and PEI’s beautiful North Shore. Each beautifully decorated guest room features amenities and services that guests have come to enjoy. Our king suites offer the same amenities plus a second television, living room with a double pull-out couch, and jacuzzi tub.
Recognized by Golf Digest as Canada’s Best New Course in 1994. Overlooking the north shore dunes of PEI, Crowbush continues to enthrall all those that take the challenge to conquer one of North America’s very best. Undulating fairways, water holes with a wisp of wind, pot bunkers and challenging greens all come together to provide you with an experience not to be forgotten. Truly an unbelievable combination of nature and imagination.
Of all the courses that are considered a “must play”, Crowbush is certainly one of them. If you can tame the 6,903 yards at the Links, you should be able to play well anywhere.
Charlottetown in early July is an easy, low‑stress day off for a crew taking a break from golf. Start on Victoria Row and Queen Street, wandering past brick buildings, pubs, and patios. The pace is slow, the sidewalks flat, and there are plenty of benches when someone’s knees start talking. Pop into Receiver Coffee or Leonhard’s for a proper sit‑down breakfast before anything more ambitious.
History is everywhere but bite‑sized. Province House (when open or via visitor centre exhibits), Founders’ Hall, and the short, scenic walk along the Waterfront and Peake’s Wharf give just enough narrative without turning the day into a museum tour. You can step on and off the boardwalk toward Victoria Park, watch sailboats, and let the ocean breeze do the work.
For something a little indulgent, book a mid‑afternoon harbour cruise—easy seating, light commentary, and cool air off the water—or a food tour that strings together local seafood, craft beer, and Island stories. Finish with an early dinner of lobster or scallops at Lobster on the Wharf, Claddagh Oyster House, or Merchantman, then maybe one pint and live music at Old Triangle or Hunter’s Ale House before heading back rested enough to care about your tee time again.
Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island, offers a dining scene that blends coastal authenticity with refined culinary touches. The city is known for its access to some of the freshest seafood in Canada, and that quality shows up across its restaurants—from casual lobster spots to elevated bistros.
One of the standout experiences in the city is Claddagh Oyster House, where oysters take center stage. With a rotating selection sourced directly from PEI waters, the restaurant delivers a premium yet approachable atmosphere. Alongside oysters, you’ll find beautifully prepared seafood dishes that highlight the simplicity and freshness of local ingredients, making it a perfect setting for a polished evening.
For a more traditional and authentic East Coast experience, Water Prince Corner Shop is a must-visit. Known for its iconic lobster dinners and steamed mussels, it captures the essence of PEI dining—unpretentious, welcoming, and focused entirely on quality seafood. It’s the kind of place where the setting is simple, but the experience is unforgettable.
If you’re looking for something more intimate and European in style, Terre Rouge Bistro Marche offers a cozy, refined atmosphere with a menu driven by seasonal, local ingredients. The dishes are thoughtfully crafted with French influence, creating a slower, more curated dining experience that pairs beautifully with a good bottle of wine.
For a livelier and more casual evening, The Gahan House combines craft brewing with elevated pub fare. It’s a social, energetic spot where you can enjoy local beers alongside classic dishes like seafood chowder and lobster rolls, making it ideal for groups or a relaxed night out.
Finally, Merchantman Fresh Seafood & Oyster Bar brings a modern touch to the city’s seafood scene. With a stylish setting and a menu that balances traditional flavours with creative presentation, it’s a reliable choice for visitors wanting to experience a bit of everything PEI has to offer in one place.
Overall, Charlottetown’s restaurants reflect the island itself—authentic, welcoming, and centered around exceptional local ingredients. It’s a destination where every meal feels like part of the experience, whether you’re enjoying a casual lobster feast or a refined seafood dinner after a day on the course.
