The Links Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience The Links Golf Course, avoiding harsh Canadian weather?

You'll find the course at its prime from late May through early October. We recommend targeting June or September for ideal playing conditions, fewer crowds, and stunning natural beauty, whether it's the vibrant spring greens or the crisp fall foliage. Avoid the unpredictable winds and colder temperatures outside these months for the most enjoyable round.

What specific challenges should I prepare for when playing The Links Golf Course, given its Canadian setting?

Unlike traditional Scottish links, you'll encounter a unique blend of coastal winds and rugged Canadian rock outcroppings influencing play, especially on holes 7 and 14. The fescue here is particularly unforgiving, so keep your ball in play and embrace the bump-and-run shots to navigate the firm, fast conditions effectively.

How authentic is The Links Golf Course's 'links' experience compared to its overseas counterparts?

While it absolutely embraces the firm, fast conditions and natural contours of true links golf, The Links offers a distinctly Canadian twist with its rugged coastal landscape and indigenous flora. Don't expect a carbon copy of St. Andrews; instead, anticipate a unique, challenging, and beautiful links-style round that stands on its own.

What's the typical cost to play The Links Golf Course, and is it worth the investment for a Canadian golf trip?

Green fees here are on the higher end for Canadian courses, often ranging from $200-300 CAD, especially during peak season. We believe it's a worthwhile splurge for the exceptional conditioning and memorable, challenging layout you'll experience. Consider a twilight round for a slightly reduced rate and stunning sunset views over the water.

Which hole at The Links Golf Course truly captures its essence and offers the most memorable experience?

Without a doubt, the par-3 12th hole is its crown jewel. Perched high above the coastline, you'll face a demanding tee shot over a dramatic chasm to a green exposed to the elements. It's a true test of nerve and a photo opportunity you won't want to miss.
