Chester Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to play Chester Golf Course, and what kind of weather should I prepare for?

What specific challenges or unique features should I look forward to at Chester Golf Course?

Chester really stands out with its clever use of elevation changes and those stunning ocean vistas that distract you just enough. Pay close attention on the back nine, particularly the par-3 14th; the wind off the water can make club selection a real puzzle.

You'll find Chester's green fees are quite reasonable, especially considering the quality of play and the breathtaking scenery. It's definitely one of the better values in the region, offering a championship feel without the championship price tag.

After a round at Chester, what's your top recommendation for a local post-game experience?

Don't miss grabbing a drink and a bite at the Chester Yacht Club, just a short drive from the course. The views of the harbour are fantastic, and it's the perfect spot to relive your best shots (or forget your worst) in a relaxed, local atmosphere.

How far in advance should I book a tee time at Chester Golf Course, and is it easily accessible?

Chester is a popular spot, especially on weekends and during peak summer, so we advise booking at least 2-3 weeks ahead to secure your preferred time. It's an easy drive from Halifax, making it a perfect day trip or a key stop on a Nova Scotia golf tour.
