Two best golf courses on PEI

Hi Louis,

This is a tough question! PEI is blessed with many excellent golf courses and picking the two best courses is a personal choice.

The Links at Crowbush Cove is generally regarded as PEI’s best course. It is also regarded as the toughest. Named Canada’s best new course in 1994, it continues to rank amongst the top courses in Canada. The course has 5 sets of tees and can play anywhere from 6,925 yards to 5,010. It is important to choose the right set of tee blocks. There is usually a “gentle Island breeze” that is not always that gentle when you play into it. The greens are small, undulating and well protected by mounds and bunkers. The ocean gives the course a wow factor and is very scenic.

Dundarave Golf Course gets the nod as the 2nd best in my humble opinion. Built in 1999, it is a big expansive course. All the holes are separate entities, you cannot see any hole other than the one you are playing. The fairways are generous in width and the greens are large, fast and have subtle rolls and undulations. 

Green Gables Golf Course gets honorable mention. Built in 1939 and designed by Stanley Thompson it is one of Canada’s iconic courses.

Enjoy!
