The Lakes Golf Club at Ben Eoin

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the weather impact play at The Lakes Golf Club, and when is the best time to visit?

You'll find the best conditions from late June through September. The shoulder seasons in May and October can be beautiful with fall colours, but expect cooler temperatures and a higher chance of wind off the lake, which really adds to the challenge.

What's the real challenge like at The Lakes Golf Club, especially with those elevation changes?

The Lakes truly lives up to its name with significant elevation changes and water in play on many holes, demanding precise club selection. Don't underestimate the wind swirling through the valleys and off Bras d'Or Lake-it will test your game and make you think on every shot.

Which holes at The Lakes Golf Club offer the most stunning views or unique challenges I shouldn't miss?

You absolutely can't miss the stretch from holes 10 to 14; the views over Bras d'Or Lake are breathtaking, especially on a clear day. The par-3 12th, with its dramatic downhill shot to a green guarded by water, is a true signature hole that will stick with you.

What should I expect for green fees and booking at The Lakes Golf Club, and is it worth the trip?

Green fees are competitive for a course of this caliber in Canada, typically ranging from $80-$120 CAD depending on the season and time of day. We highly recommend booking your tee time well in advance, especially for weekend play, as this gem fills up quickly.

Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at The Lakes Golf Club's clubhouse or dining after a round?

The clubhouse offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere perfect for unwinding after your round. You'll find a great patio overlooking the course and lake, ideal for enjoying a local craft beer and some casual fare while reliving your best shots.
